Smart Phoneys: Beware the Bad Apps
new malden counselling associates
Smartphone apps are brilliant things, but unfortunately there are bad apps out there too. Apple and Google do their best to keep offenders out of their app stores, but there are still some tricks to watch out for. One common ruse is to make a convincing fake of an app such as Instagram or Pokemon. Such fakes are notorious for malicious acts such as automatically running up huge phone or text bills, so it’s crucial to stick to the official app stores Apple, Amazon or Google, depending on your device - and double-check the manufacturer name and the reviews. Watch out for in-app purchases (IAPs) too, especially in kids’ apps. Unscrupulous developers like to hook kids with free games that need serious money to work properly. You can disable in-app purchases in your smartphone’s settings, but it’s best not to install IAP-heavy apps in the first place.
