This is a scam you can download the app for free. It does not gain you entry to the site. The app also doesn’t pick up what sites you are visiting they are all jumbled up.

ARNAQUE, le site vend des "Billets d'entrée" où l'entrée n'est pas comprise. Il est ensuite indiqué que tout remboursement est impossible.
