doesn't seem like that at all. 150k installs and 4.5 rating.
- LoSboccacc 10y agoWhy is this getting downvoted? It is a perfect example of an app with scummy permission and a startup block if it cannot access contacts thriving.
- CaptSpify 10y agoThe average user doesn't care about permissions and probably are going to fully allow games like that to steal their data. Then they'll give it a good score in the app-store. Install number and rating aren't good indicators. I think there's an implied user-base here that the "mark as broken" response is going to be useful for, but the vast majority of people won't care.
- rasz_pl 10y agothats an ok example, but check out this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ace.cleaner&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ace.cleane... this is a malware with almost 200K installs and poerfect 4.5 rating. It propagates using spam/pirate sites with misleading "your phone is broken and will blow up if you dont install this" scam https://virtuallyfun.superglobalmegacorp.com/2016/12/07/holy-crap-get-annoying-trojan-attempt-ever/ https://virtuallyfun.superglobalmegacorp.com/2016/12/07/holy...
