The only place you should be downloading third party apps from is the App Store.

The website you linked to is NOT trusted by anyone with sense. And, it appears to be a site for downloading Android apps.

There is no such thing as a “trusted website” for iOS or iPadOS applications. The one and the only supported source for apps is the Apple App Store. Downloading and side loading apps from web sites is one well know way to introduce malware, spyware or other malicious code into your device. You have no idea just what you’re downloading and installing from web sites.


Not to mention that any legitimate developer will have their app in the App Store, so if it is also available from some web site, that website is distributing it illegally to begin with, and may well have bundled their own nasty code with the installer.
