lascopes:
Are there no fake apps in the app store? Abeg leave that thing jawe

Ahswr.
I remember how more than 1 million people downloaded fake WhatsApp from Play Store sometime ago.

Well, who can beat google in the art of spying and data mining? So those apps are learners when it comes to data mining through asking for access to contacts etc. For this reason amongst many, I stay away from android devices sticking mainly to windows phone OS. Coupla days ago, I helped someone to install an P2P camera app to her android phone from the store. I was shocked when I read thru the users comments about this app mining their information and sending it to probably the Chinese government.

OP should read the comments on "Yoosee" camera app in the play store. It's an app to use a P2P IP remote security camera on your mobile device.

Android sucks! That's it.

OP,

I hope you know the monopolistic charges Alphabet (Google) was smashed last month by EU. I foresee same happening to play store policies. I don't see why lucky patcher shouldn't be on play store when Android/Google itself allowed rooting.

Look at wonderful productivity app like Mobile Uncle, not on play store, god of war ( ghost of Sparta and chains of Olympus) too.....too many.

Pls how do I get this god of war

Free apps from playstore are laden with ads.
And they are very annoying these days

I will rather get free from a trusted third-party

The rate at which ads appear in phones now.......

the thing is becoming too much...... sometimes I want to delete every damn app just to get rid of it

First you need PPSSPP emulator from Google play store and install.

2. Google god of war PPSSPP iso. (Like 1.2GB) Ghost of Sparta of chains of Olympus.

3. Move the downloaded .iso file to game directory of PSP through you file explorer.... File manager >> PSP >> Game.

Then launch ppspp emulator. You'll see god of war there.

I have received multiple questions on how to install apps from third party developers (UNTRUSTED SOURCES) outside the Google playstore but I want to warn that installing apps outside the playstore or Apple app store is a PRETTY BAD IDEA. I know that sometimes, big game developers such as EPIC GAMES refuse to sell their games via the playstore because they don’t want to pay the 30% commission that Google demands for selling games via the playstore. They want you to download directly from their websites for example the newly released FORTNITE games. They call it “sideloading”. A lot of people download games and apps outside the Google Playstore without considering the risks involved. Android is open source so they only warn you but won’t stop you from installing the games and this is why people think iPhone is more secure that Android. Apple forbids it’s users from installing free apps outside the app store and they make it extremely difficult to do so. They have good reasons and that’s why I want to show you the dangers of installing outside the playstore.



1. Google security scan:

Every app on the Google Playstore goes through security scan and any malicious app is immediately deleted and removed from the playstore. This makes the playstore the most secure source to get your apps and games for Android devices. Any app not on the playstore does not undergo this security scan and you have no way of knowing if it’s a good one or not.

2. Malware and virus:

Most of those links you see online takes you directly to malicious sites where you can easily install spyware, malware or virus that can not only damage your device but expose your sensitive data such as contacts, bank details etc to hackers. You may even download a copy of the game that actually works on your device but does damage in the background. Malwares and spywares could use your phone cameras to spy on you or even worse. This is one of the reasons we warn you not to install or sideload apps from “Unknown sources”.

3. Too many fake apps out there:

No matter how you look at it, there’s always a risk involved when installing apps from Untrusted sources. There’s too many malicious apps that you can’t really tell the different between the real ones and the fake ones. Imagine a game that wants you to “grant access” to your contacts, WTF ? What has your contacts get to do with a game and so many other suspicious behavior. The URL can easily be swapped and automatically redirects you where a virus will be installed automatically into your device in a matter of seconds !



If you are really stubborn about it and wants to bypass Google Playstore and install such games maybe because it’s a free version, well make sure you update your Android OS to the latest version (OREO) first, it has more security features than older versions and honestly I wish you luck in your new adventure.

Stop tryna impose Apple Policy on Google

Google is way ahead of Apple...


Android - Open Source (Freedom to do whatsoever)
iOS - Close Source (In chains)

You said, and I quote,
"Imagine a game that wants you to “grant access” to your contacts, WTF ? What has your contacts get to do with a game and so many other suspicious behavior."
But 90% of games and apps downloaded from Play store ask for permission to CONTACTS AND EVEN CAMERA AND MORE before installation. However, on a general note, the post is informative and useful.
