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

      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 a bit basic. I installed it and then uninstalled it.

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