Your question about the security of apps is a good one and should be an ongoing one. Who do we, who don't code, put our trust into? Generally I just see if an app is frequently mentioned by others; but that's a pretty shaky approach to downloading software...
Yeah, I can't code for shit and the whole "You can check the code yourself, its open source" is kinda lost on me. I have to trust on the kindness of other people who audit the code and share what they find to decide whats safe to use and what isn't.
