I have found it. Apparently the US web site has different content than 
the non-US (global) sites.

Here is the US link I have found. It is version 8.0.5:

https://www.fnd.io/#/us/iphone-app/1139717657-ddpai-by-vyou-technology-co-ltd

Then I've found this. It is version 1.7:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ddpai/id1139717657

Then, of course, there is the version I find on the AppStore on my phone.

Go and figure ...
