Are APK files safe to install ?

Apk files by themselves cannot be considered safe or unsafe in general. It depends on what each individual file contains.

APK files can be fully harmless, or they can contain ads or even malicious code.

It is always a good ideea to check the antivirus score of each apk file before downloading it. On our website, the antivirus score can be found on the menu button next to download button of each apk file.

Each new apk file is checked with around 50 antivirus programs, using VirusTotal service.

There are some fale positive reports, If there are 48 reputable antiviruses saying the apk file is clean, and 2 unknown antivirus programs saying something looks suspicious, then that apk file is probably clean.

There were even instances of apk files downloaded from Google Play store that show some false positive antivirus reports.
