The very first hit is to a web forum, the first post of which contains a

Did you actually read the posts at that link, or are you just grinding
me?

The author of the first post makes it clear in the third post the app
he downloaded does nothing, and many other references in many other
Gogle hits, to that particular app, which you have read if you'd done
the amount of searching I have (it's clear to me you haven't, why would
you?), make it quite clear the app itself DOES NOT WORK.

I wouldn't make that assumption without trying it out for myself.
