Paranoid for Android APK Download for Android

Description

Paranoid for Android analyzes all the apps installed on your device to identify apps which could be spying on you. It does this by analyzing the combination of permissions granted to each app.

For example, an app which can determine your exact location is fine: an app that can determine your location and report it back to someone else using SMS or the internet is more risky. A well-known messaging app which also tracks your location and your phone calls for no valid reason is definitely questionable, as many people have only just discovered.

This is a free app: if you like it or find it useful, please consider buying me a coffee (in app purchase) to encourage future development.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

5 ★Great app. I thought I removed all permissions but I missed some. This app makes it easier to find which ones slipped through.

3 ★Can see where it could help but it's not that accurate. Listed apps that caused supposed problems but had no permissions set related to that problem.

4 ★cool so far just down loaded it and I didn't know the extent of what some of these apps can do. it's scary go young it 4 starts because I don't have that much experience with it. I'll re evaluate this product and my rating at a later date.

5 ★This app worked well for me. it gave me the answers that i needed verified on. I was my permissions were being changed in the background. I have learned so much from this.....

2 ★Unfortunately device developers has noticed an app that can read apps interactions. So by that being said everything that should be noticed it's all greyed out and can't be changed in the permission settings

1 ★This app hijacks Chrome, causing advertisements that you can't back out of. Whether or not it does what it says is debatable. Avoid this app at all costs.

5 ★Quick n Easy. Probably needs a Root version to check the permissions of EVERYTHING on the device, but saved me a lot of time.

5 ★UI isn't anything special but it is simple and easy for the average user. Straight forward and no ads. 5 stars

5 ★In my first few minutes I turned off several permissions, and removed an app which had unrevocable permissions that it had no business having. Great job 👍

2 ★Within minutes of installing this app it became clear that what it 'detects' as apps that can 'spy on me' ie read my messages; listen to me, watch me etc.. are simply permissions I have given an app to use that tool.. Such as my photo app can watch me because I have given it access to my camera..

5 ★Does what it says. After use tho there's no need to keep it. Download when needed. Still a 5 star program.

5 ★Love it, examines the permissions of apps and gives you an idea of what they are capable of. Thanks Dev!
