Perplexity IA recommending me using modded versions instead of paying for premium features (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Browsing the internet I found this app called VMOS which is basically an Android emulator inside Android and it's great for testing or playing pirated games, the problem is that the app is almost completely in Chinese and I was curious to investigate how much the "Premium" version that unlocks root access and other things was worth and to save me work (I know) I asked Perplexity IA how much the premium version or membership was worth and their answer was that.

Perplexity IA is a chatbot like ChatGPT (I guess based on it) that I found on the FMHY megathread and I found it quite useful because it doesn't need you to login to use it.

Here is the link to the chat for validity purposes.

This is really the only app that I don't feel comfortable downloading a modified version of... The base apk already detects threats in Virustotal and the modified versions only increase the number of warnings.

Does anyone have experience with this app?

I wouldn’t trust it, but if you have a pc that runs Linux you could create a kvm/qemu virtual machine emulating an arm processor (not sure if you still can) and install it in a contained environment and test drive it there.
