Best version of Pandemic boardgame on Android? (ani.social)

I see that the official Matt Leacock's Pandemic boardgame adaptation on Android was abandoned by Asmodee, allegedly due to various quality problems.

There are a few versions floating out there in various apk archives, and even something called "Pandemic" in the Google Play store by some outfit named Seadex that I have no idea whether is anything related to the original boardgame.

Does anyone have a favorite implementation of the Pandemic boardgame they can recommend?

You might be able to find the APK somewhere for pandemic. Might not work for the modern android builds, that's likely what it is. That game was hard a f___.

I did find an APK on some outfit called apkvision.org, installed it, but it had something something about Iran, so I probably now have Iranian malware on my phone. 😓

As a follow up, possible Iranian malware be damned, this turned out to be the smoothest running version of the game that I tried.

BitDefender didn't find anything, but of course that doesn't mean anything after you have the app installed.

Others that I tried had Chinese stuff on bootup, and stuttered when running.
