Read full description

Hackerbot is a gaming companion app for FPS players. It provides reference content only: crosshair style previews, sensitivity setting suggestions, keybind references, HUD layout guides, weapon stat sheets, map callouts, and tip articles. It does not access, modify, or connect to any third-party game, account, or server, and it does not provide cheats, hacks, or unauthorized access of any kind. The app also includes an original in-app puzzle ("Training"): the player deciphers a short numeric code from a set of clues about a fictional profile. All names and data in these puzzles are fictional and written for the game no real people or real data are involved. No account or sign-in is required to use the app. The app uses Google Mobile Ads and requests App Tracking Transparency permission before using the IDFA for personalized ads, per Apple's guidelines.
