Got a DJI drone as a birthday present and instead of having me install from the Play store they want me to install an apk directly from their website.
Does anybody know why this app isn’t on the play store? Is this legit or just a vector for malware?
Given DJI is Chinese and a similar size Chinese company was found spreading malware you should worry.

On the other hand, the article you linked is talking about an app on the Play Store, so it doesn’t really matter whether the app is on the Play Store or not.
