How to know if this app is safe to use?

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/touchscreen-test/id1126113478


I installed it today but am worried as I realised it’s not been updated for many years. I have uninstalled it straight away but don’t want to worry about getting a virus on my iPad. Is that possible?

iPhone 14, iOS 17

The installation of that app is NOT going to get a virus on your iPad. The developer of that app has not updated it in over 3 years. It is probably outdated for your iPad and that’s about it. Delete it if you want and nothing to worry about.
