If you plan to use this in real games against other people then I think it clearly is cheating. You should do everything like noticing attackers or hanging pieces in your head.

Use of an extension like that in games against other members is against the fair play policy and will get an account using it closed.

Hopefully you guys have ways to detect if these apps are being used?

It would be better if they used their WSS game connection with proper encryption, though it's still better than nothing.
