Everyone knows ever since God knows when -that most free apps on Google playstore generate their income through random adverts that happen while apps are in use.

Very funny, these people are only beginning to notice that. What a joke!

Anyway I don't see the reason people still use cache cleaner app in this era
May be cus majority are still using Android phone of 2gb ram and need cache cleaner app to clean up RAM space to prevent lagging.

Thanks NCC for creating this awareness, at least low end Android users will quit using the apps to prevent further harm.

Is it today that you noticed that Google allow some unauthorised malware app on play store just cus they need to chop advertiser's money?
Majority of all this betting tips apps, battery saver apps and free memory space apps are nothing but malware and spyware apps that don't perform its specific work. Use them at your own peril

Anyway wetin concern high end Android user with all these trashy apps cheesy cheesy

Google play store should be left out of these,New phones and laptops do come with these pre installed apps that spy on the user privacy.even those devices donated by china to our govt. agencies especially our sensitive agencies,they know everything about us.This is the more reason why developed nations produce their own devices especially those used by their government.Africa is a dumping ground.

My wish is for Obi to win though it will be difficult because of corruption.
