Hey there.

I just ordered my Umbrel Pro.

How do I verify the Apps (e.g. BTC Core) in the App Store?

Are they verified by Umbrel?

Thx

As far as I understand, the apps you see in the store are reviewed by the Umbrel team. There is a GitHub repository at [GitHub - getumbrel/umbrel-apps: The official app repository of the Umbrel App Store. Submit apps and updates here. Learn how → https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-apps#readme · GitHub](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-apps) containing the code for each app.

Each new app and any updates goes through a review, such as this one to add LnVisualizer

There are also apps available from Community App Stores which you can add manually and they are maintained by their respective maintainers, not the Umbrel team. However, these aren’t available by default.

Thx.

☹ So I have to trust instead of checking things myself…

I wouldn’t say that, the Pull Requests are public; both the code changes and the reviewer’s comments. So, there is nothing stopping you looking through those for your apps of interest.
