Is this Kindle Store App Legit or Bootleg? This question is inspired by the answer I received to this question: What is This Strange Symbol When I Try to Play Youtube on Kindle?
User @Banal Vulgarian reports that he has the same problem as I do in Silk Browser, but a specialized Youtube app works. I downloaded a specialized Youtube app and experienced the same success.
But I am suspicious of this app. Is this a legit app published by Google/Youtube,or is it sort of a &quot;bootleg&quot; app developed outside of Google's supervision which may be risky to my device?
Here is the app info:
Here you see the app in the Kindle store search results, with a non-standard Youtube logo (minus!), it has the best reviews of all results (plus!), and the most reviews of all results (plus!). Inexplicably it is the third result rather than the first result (minus!)

I'm looking at the one right in the middle with a blue logo (unusual for Youtube) but it says the publisher is Youtube.com
So I would assume that Kindle Store would sort of vet the names of publishers to make sure they are not impersonating a major company, right? But now look when I click on the contact info for the developer of this somewhat questionable app:

That email address looks a bit sketchy to me. Like a Youtube impersonator, to be honest.
Is this app officially sanctioned by Youtube? If not, what are the risks to me by having it on my Kindle?
To my knowledge, the only &quot;official&quot; Google apps are on Fire TV:

And only consist of YouTube and YouTube for Kids.
I believe these are the apps referenced above:
https://www.amazon.com/s?rh=n%3A2350149011%2Cp_4%3AGoogle+LLC
Everything else is a third-party wrapper/interface.
As for the blue YouTube app, here is a 5 year old reference in a different forum. It may be that as long as the app is just a web browser wrapping the YouTube site (and showing ads), Google/YouTube will look the other way.
