In their own README:
> Using an unofficial client may be against WhatsApp's terms of service and could get an account suspended.
Same for all of these unofficial clients.

It’s really a shame that all of these unofficial clients are like this. APIs are APIs, if they’re on the public internet why can’t anybody call them? If there’s potential for abuse then that should be secured server side anyway, since needing a unofficial client isn’t going to stop hackers

Dammit. I installed it, it worked beautifully, and now I don't want to risk it.

It's irresponsible that the warning is hidden down in "Acknowledgements" and if you go via the homepage to download there's no warning at all.

Looks great, but... how can one trust it with credentials/communication? (nothing against the developer, more the principle of the thing)

It's a bit basic. I installed it and then uninstalled it.
