This app is not sponsored by the Department of Defense (DOD) or the U.S. Government. It presents a serious risk of compromising account information and theft of funds. While giving your MyPay account information to strangers is never considered a good idea, the app presents itself as an official DFAS service and 50,000 members are estimated to have installed the app. Similar apps have been found for Android and iPhone.
