We also don’t feel comfortable recommending apps with poor UI that haven’t been updated in years, so it’s best to do this via a browser on your Android phone.
On iOS devices, the app route is even more troublesome, as you will either need a desktop app called Cydia Impactor that will ask you for your Apple credentials to generate a certificate for a third-party app or worse, have to jailbreak your Apple device.
