Years ago I used Mint which I recently found out was a security nightmare at the time. I would like to begin using a new budgeting app and they all link to bank accounts using software such as Plaid. Are systems like this considered safe today? I would be linking credit cards, bank accounts, and investment accounts which makes me pause...

The original one had been removed from the playstore as the developer had abandon the project. But there is still many users think that this fake one is the real one.

I signed up on Impulse yet again because I was promised NO ADS if I paid for PREMIUM IMPULSE. I paid the extra and guess what!?! I still have to watch their stupid ads!! They are blatant liars!! I won’t be tricked again. It’s just too bad that there’s no way I can get my money back because I would!!!!

This is a game that I download, and it changed my home screen wasn't sure why. I checked the reviews, and it had done it to everyone so to anyone who download it you can delete the app in the settings, for android it's called device admin apps in case this helps anyone.

Just been wondering the purpose of suddenly so popular fb ad/app what transforms your pictures to look like a viking... Social media going nuts about it and still many using it🤔

Is it really dangerous and what does it do??

If it is just another scam (and yes, ofc it collects some data) what is the worst thing it can do?

I think its weird that before uploading your photo it does not ask permission to use the gallery or camera. Its just opens it and then you can choose a photo...

Also its not really a app, so you cant check apps permissions in your settings because it doesn't show there Can it steal all your photos from your device? 😲

Some rewiews online are suggesting that not really a dsngerous thing just an amusement... What ya guys think??? 🙄

Link above telling its quite safe...

Well, I was browsing Google Play to look for fake apps to investigate, I googled for VLC and I saw a fake VLC Mobile Remote app. Plus I saw a fake Knuckles game which was called Knuckles Adventure: Sonic.exe. Plus I see a bunch of Mario and Flappy Bird ripoffs. Here's a list of fake apps which I have found:

• VLC Mobile Remote
• Knuckles Adventure: Sonic.exe (Knuck Adventure: Sonicexe)
• Flapping Bird
• Flying Bird
• Suspects
• Devil Amongst Us
• Kick the Boss
• Kick the Teddy Bear
• Sponge Adventure Impostor Game (Sponge Adventure Imposter Game)

WARNING!!! I am NOT installing these apps, as you shouldn't. They can be dangerous. I can update this post if I find another fake app or more fake apps. You can say if you found one or multiple, in the comments.

Is it safe? I'm out of town so I can't look into it myself; Thank you.

Ever since it first happened to me, I've turned on notification history. Had this one company straight up like and said they never did, but tried to butter me up when I told them I had screen shot proof of them "responding" and finding my comment missing. Was somewhat amusing to see

This app I saw popping up on an advertisement. It looked like you jumped and slashed stick figures. It looked fun and satisfying. So I downloaded it. When I got in for the first time, it loaded for like 10 minutes and when I got in. And, IT WASN'T MOVING. There was a sword with a poorly pixelated shadow, two stick figures, a white floor and a white background. This already looked muxlck different from the ad. And then I was like "ok it may be different but thats ok. Maybe not moving is a small glitch." It wasn't. I entered many times, restarted my phone and my connection. Nothing happened.

This app, called SWORD PLAY, is a fraud. The thing that worries me about this fraud is that can pop up on influential apps, such as Akinator, where I found it. If you see it, DONT GET IT.

I have been in contact with several streamers and other users who have seemed to have very suspicious activity going on with the app. After seeing all the fuss over TikTok, I felt now was a good time to speak up against this one. This is what I know so far based on my findings: (all information is still being researched and looked into, these are simply the facts I've managed to find. Not me saying you should or should not use the app necessarily.) What makes it interesting, is some users do not experience the app the same. It seems to run as malware for some, but fine for others. Those who it seems to not run correctly for had different devices ranging from older to newer models leaving me to believe the problem is in fact with the app itself. There seemed to be two versions of the app. A beta version and the regular (which isn't exactly uncommon for apps however it seems MeetMe has been around for some time). After reviewing claims from several streamers on the app it has been apparent that it rewards those who make the app the most money or those who spend the most ing the app granting them VIP status. Many syrramers seemed to deal with a great deal of harrassment from the site itself. One streamer even provided emails showing where she had contacted the site after her broadcasting had been interrupted on multiple occasions with their customer service refusing to look into the matter. After some time they eventually wrongfully banned her site claiming she was referring users to the app TikTok (an app she denies using) She also provided screen shots of the apps top, sponsored streamer actively promoting their own TikTok account showing Meet Me either clearly did ban the streamers account for biased reasons or is allowing this top streamer of theirs to continue to break their rules for biased reasons. After searching through the rules myself I saw nothing against their terms suggesting users could not share the names to their other social platforms. Another user was harrassed but what seemed to be a VIP member of Meet Me after she declined their offer to sell her nudes for in app currency. She claimed to have reached out to the site about the harassment and ended up having to stop the site because her broadcasting started to continuously crash. Another user had explained how certain streamers who were being sponsored by the site would refuse to include them into their stream unless he paid them a certain amount every month in MeetMe currency known as diamonds. After contacting the apps support to report the streamer for breaking what he felt was clear rules they claim to uphold, he was unable to log back into his accounts. Other users who partake in the gifting side of the app (which is where you use real money to buy in app currency to spend on streamers. Streamers can earn about $3.99 for every $10 spent on them) have claimed to have their credit cards over drawn many times. Instead of being helped by the site, their accounts banned. There have been a multitude of complaints about ads when viewing pictures on profiles. I did check this information myself and can confirm if you are viewing pictures, you will find an adds every other one or so. Adds are also running at the bottom of all chats and basically anywhere except when watching a streamer. You do have add options to ear diamonds to spend on the streamer as well. I have reached out to Meet Me about all of these claims listed and more with no response. Maybe someone else will have better luck and can shed light on this issue while we are exposing apps for their risk to the public.

I have sail across the seven seas and climb the tallest mountain to be disappointed by this app called Amino. Why I dislike this app you may ask? Because there are a lot of horny degenerates who either sensitive or just want attention. I mainly download that app so I can talk to people about anime or just to chill. Though you'll be disappointed because the moment you login in that app you see people roleplaying about the and that's it. I have seen dog taking a big shit more entertaining then going on this app trying to have fun or a good time. Well that's mainly it so ya!
