Beware! GO Keyboard Steals Your Email Login Details And Other Personal Infos by Techpaded(f): 8:10am On Sep 24, 2017
It won't be harsh if you call Go keyboard a thief! The software which is developed by GOMO DEV Team is stealing your information including your email login details, and it's advisable to uninstall ASAP!

According to the Adguard report, the GO apps ("GO Keyboard-Emoji keyboard, Swipe input, GIFs" and "GO Keyboard-Emoticon keyboard, Free Theme, GIF") sends your Google email account associated with your Google Playstore, screen size, Android version, build and device model to its server information.

Since the app records every letter you type on your phone, the server owner could start collecting whatever information he/she wants from GO Keyboard users.
