I've just found an app that seemed it was not having report in Exodus app database, even after I've refreshed it with pull down and seen sync progress counting 0-127.

First Exodus app was showing "?" in the app trackers info. I performed analysis and seen my own report. In the app I could still see "?" in the trackers tab, but when I entered Aurora store I could see my own report about the app - date an hour were the same, that I've made analysis.
Sorry if I reapeat, but I want it clear: my local Exodus database did not contain my own local analysis and report data, while remote database already had it...? Is that a bug? Shouldn't report be saved and visible in my local database first, before it is uploaded to remote database?

I'm about this app: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/518365/

Re-syncing database helped after 2nd or 3rd time. Now my local info looks updated, no question mark in trackers section of the app, report is up to date.

Hi rafnov, launch an refresh doesn't performed an analysis, he just get latest reports from our server.
Ask an analysis is an manual action but you can ask them from app with shield button on each app doesn't yet analysed.

How can I analyze an app nowhere to be found but my system?
It's a very suspicious app supposed only to take notes, but look at number of its permissions. I would gladly inquire it and share my experience. It's a built-in app of the stock ROM on Realme GT Neo 2.

Sorry for overlays on screenshots below, I didn't pay attention when making them ;)

After pressing a shield icon I get:

It's not possible to analyze app system unavailable on Google Play or Fdroid.
The only way is to get apk from your device and use https://github.com/Exodus-Privacy/exodus-standalone to analyze app in your pc.

This app have a lot of permissions because oppo have a lot of custom permissions. It's not possible to know foreach permissions what access is give. But I guess it's access to some parts of devices settings because this app have a system to sync notes with cloud.

Thank you very much for detailed info.
I think I've reached the limit of my inquiry here about that, and probably some more other apps.
As I am never going to sync any notes or possibly any other info I will just get rid of that app. To suspicious. And to big for being note apo only - 63 MB.
