six points to consider

Malware on Android, there is, there is, or the most common problem is just the worst apps. Usually you see that the app is bad after installing and testing it, but sometimes you can skip that step by looking for specific leads.

In this article we will show you what to do before downloading the application from Google Play, to save you the last bad experience with an app that is full of advertising, cheating or taking your loaned information.

1. Read reviews, even if you don't trust 100%

You've probably already seen the app score on Google Play, but unfortunately the middle class is becoming less active. Despite Google's efforts to make the review reliable, it still has a huge advantage over it, with the click of a paycheck.

An application with five stars on average can be very expensive and the same applies to download number. What It's hard to fake reviews, because developers can't get rid of those they don't like. So, even if in an app with a lot of negative reviews I say it's good, soon real updates of people complaining about being bad or not meeting what was promised will start to appear.

Google Play only shows you a few updates to the default view, so my first recommendation is to show all updates and see updates More recently, which may refer to improvements introduced in recent updates.

2. Do you have an official website?

For the additional information section of the application you can contact the application's official website. Not having an official website is common a bad sign which you may combine with other data to decide whether to install it. Although not all applications without a website are bad, many low-level resources do not have a website.

Of course, there are good applications that don't have a website because the developer didn't have the time or desire to implement it. Now, if it's presented as a major project or important application, it doesn't even have one support website or details It's the most amazing thing.

3. Other applications from the same developer

Tell me what app you published on Google Play and I'll tell you who you are. In more than one instance the app listing seems to be very bad and real, but if you look at other applications of the same developer you can see that the same is unreliable. For example, if you have other apps that mimic the people you are most familiar with (WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.) or promise the impossible.

Well, it is possible for an engineer to have a main project that the little-love bugs and other programs published such as tests or while studying, are of poor quality, but it all adds up. If you suspect that an app may not be what it appears to be, it's not cheap to look at what other apps the developer has built. By the way if you don't have another app It's a bad sign: it can be a Google Play account to use and get rid of.

4. Permits

With Mashmallow, Android changed the way app permissions work. Instead of asking them all at the same time, they can be given at run time. If you need to take a photo, ask permission to access the camera. If you never take pictures, it is not necessary. This reduces some fraud and permissions, even though malicious software developers do not give up.

Checking app permissions before installing is a great way to remove malicious applications. For example, the previous take is for a a torch program that requires access to your contacts, phone, view installed apps, access files, preload, add shortcuts and a thousand other things. No thanks. By the way, it has 100,000 downloads and an average rating of 4.2.

5. Icons and screens

Not all developers are very skilled at graphic design, though one thing is to do Photoshop properly and the other to do reloaders. The problem is not so much whether the pictures are bad or not, though that the application interface is not displayed itself. This often indicates that the app is fake and does not deliver on what it promises.

Make you and your phone popular and not download apps with the screen on Google Play where the program is displayed, but standard photos have text. In the best case the worst apps, and worst of all they can check it out or get you into advertising.

6. Definition

That's probably what we overlook, but it's also important: meaning. Here it is necessary to have a sixth sense, because There are excellent applications and very short and easy explanations and apps that have very good descriptions but that leave them very desirable.

There are situations where an explanation gives you an indication of what to expect. For example, in the previous screenshot the description is a fixed text that has nothing to do with the application itself. This makes us think that they can be apps generated by default or someone with little appreciation. You probably don't miss anything.
