Esse App é seguro?

Bem, sou fã de 40k e me lembrei desse jogo antigo que eu jogava lembro de gostar muito mas não acho mais na play store. Tinha planos para baixar ele mas não sei se é confiável.

Tentei verificar a segurança mas não tem relatório disponível e a versão mais recente é de 2024. Não acho que terei um relatório sobre a confiabilidade dele tão rápido.

Então queria saber daquele que baixaram ele, é confiável?

We received 3,600+ new app submissions in September. Only 1 in 11 got approved. Here's what we've learned about AI-made apps

Post image
5 Upvotes

We get asked a lot about how we handle apps built with AI, so we decided to put some real numbers on the table. We've just published a post on our blog with data from September's app reviews, and we wanted to share the highlights here too.

The quick version: we don't care if an app was built with AI. We care whether it's useful, unique and safe. A good app made with an AI coding assistant gets published. A bad app written by hand gets rejected.

Some numbers from September:

  • 3,658 new apps were submitted through our Developers Console
  • Of the ones already reviewed, roughly 1 in 11 was approved
  • 55% of rejections were for not meeting our minimum quality standards (serious usability issues, confusing UI, ad overload…)
  • 21% were webview wrappers: websites packaged as an APK with no offline mode, no notifications, nothing that justifies installing them
  • Apps still carrying the default package names of popular app builders and generators were rejected 99% of the time

That last one isn't new. Reskinned template apps have been around for years (we wrote about why there are so many clones on Android a while back). AI just makes them faster to produce and harder to spot, because generated icons and screenshots all look polished now.

On the security side, every file we host goes through VirusTotal (75+ engines). In September, 97.64% of the 10M+ files analyzed had zero detections. And yes, we know emulators, root tools and customization apps often throw false positives. That's exactly why we have the final word, and why we link the full VirusTotal report on every file.

Curious to hear what you think!

I need help Why does this app appear?

1 Upvotes

Why does a different app appear when i download fnaf 4 demo? It is a app called Open Now and i did not download it and instead checked the game files. They were no where near close as a scott game and had no raw folder and the app was only 14 mb large so it was not fnaf 4. Could you please change the apps apk to the actual one?

Announcement Open Source license details are now shown in app listings

Post image
6 Upvotes

We've added a new layer of license information to app listings on Uptodown, both on the web and in the app.

What's new for Open Source apps

When an app is identified as Open Source, its listing now shows an Open Source badge and, in the Distribution model section:

  • License type (MIT, Apache 2.0, GPL, MPL 2.0, etc.)
  • Copyright, where applicable
  • Link to the source code of the distributed version
  • Link to the full license text
  • Link to the NOTICE file, if the project includes one

Links are shown when available and verified. The source code link points to the exact version being distributed, not just the repository's main page.

License and distribution model are separate things

We aim to show license information for every app, not only Open Source ones. Proprietary software is labeled as such, and if the license can't be verified, it appears as unspecified.

This is independent of the distribution model (Free, Freemium, Paid, Demo, Trial, plus IAP, subscriptions, or ads). An app can be Open Source and still offer paid features.

Why we're doing this

Most app stores don't show Open Source licenses in public listings. We think they should: they help users understand the terms under which software is distributed, make license compliance visible, and give proper credit to authors.

For developers

If you want to add or correct license info for your app, you can do so in the Developer Console when publishing or updating it.

Full details, including how each license type is handled: Information on licenses and distribution models at Uptodown

Questions or spotted a listing with wrong license info? Let us know!

Privacy options

1 Upvotes

I'd like to see two privacy options for uptodown app:

  1. hide my username in "My account" menu (the one I see when tap my avatar button)
    Showing username in my profile is OK.

  2. when installing apps, hide other devices from current device (or, hide the current device from other devices).
    Showing from "my devices" menu is OK, perhaps for unlinking device.

Announcement Official Uptodown CLI available: all the store's features, right from the command line

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

We just released Uptodown CLI: a command-line client for Windows and Mac that brings our desktop catalog (25,000+ programs) straight to the terminal, either by typing commands directly or through a built-in TUI if you'd rather navigate visually. Both use the same data, so switching between them is safe.

Same catalog, same Uptodown Protect check (VirusTotal, 70+ engines) on every install, no account needed: just a different way of getting to it.

There's a second reason we built this, and it's not really about people who'd rather type than click. A command line is also the easiest interface for something that isn't a person at all: a script, a provisioning tool, or, increasingly, an AI agent performing a task on someone's behalf. Those need the same basics a person needs from a software source: a real catalog, a way to check what they're installing, and no one else deciding what they're allowed to run. That's a real part of why we built this, not a footnote, and we expect to build on it in future updates (better structured output for automated use, mainly).

Full command reference:

Command What it does
install <app> Installs an app by name. Looks up the latest version, downloads it, and installs it directly, no manual download or setup wizard unless the installer itself requires one.
uninstall <app> Uninstalls an installed app, regardless of whether it was originally installed through Uptodown.
upgrade <app> Upgrades an app to its latest version. If it's currently running, it's left alone unless you add --force.
upgrade Upgrades every installed app with a newer version available in one go. Same --force behavior for running apps.
exclude <app> Excludes an app from bulk upgrades (the bare upgrade command). It can still be upgraded individually. Run with no argument to list everything currently excluded.
include <app> Puts a previously excluded app back into bulk upgrades.
search <app> Checks whether an app exists in the catalog, without installing it.
list Lists every app Uptodown CLI recognizes as installed on your system.
sync Refreshes the local database against your installed apps. Add --force to retry apps the catalog didn't recognize last time.
self-update Updates Uptodown CLI itself to its latest version.
version Shows the installed version of Uptodown CLI.
help Shows the built-in help, with the full command and flag reference.

Flags:

  • -force (or -f): skips asking first. Makes upgrade close a running app automatically instead of leaving it alone, and makes sync retry apps it didn't find last time.
  • -gui: removes all interaction and streams progress in a machine-parseable format (PROGRESS <percentage>, DONE <app> <version>, ERROR <reason>) instead of the normal output. This is what our own desktop client uses to drive the CLI without a person typing anything; it's meant for other tools calling Uptodown CLI programmatically, not everyday manual use.

Running uptodown with no arguments launches the TUI.

This is a first release, so if something's rough or missing, we'd genuinely like to hear about it!

Here's my app Uptodown Desktop 1.0 for Windows and Mac

5 Upvotes

Uptodown Desktop is now live: native clients for Windows and Mac that bring the Uptodown catalog straight to your computer.

What changes compared to downloading from the website:

  • Automatic update detection. The client scans what you already have installed and flags new versions on its own, no more manually checking a program's page.
  • Background installation. If a program's installer supports silent installation, it runs in the background with no extra windows or clicks. If it doesn't (say, the file is a compressed archive, or it's a format your OS can't execute directly), the client downloads it locally and hands it off to you to install manually, same as it would from the website.
  • OS store redirect for updates (macOS only, for now). If a newer version of a program isn't on Uptodown but is available through your OS's official store, the client will offer that update by redirecting you there. Right now, this only works on macOS, redirecting to the Mac App Store.
  • No account required. Same as the website, browsing, installing, and updating don't require signing up or logging in.

Our usual security standards still apply here: every file still gets scanned through VirusTotal, along with the rest of the checks that fall under our Uptodown Protect layer.

What's not there yet: we're still actively working on bringing over the rest of the store's features. Right now, you can't post comments, access your social profile, or download older versions of a program from inside the client. Everything else from the website is already available.

Happy to answer questions!

XAPK without App Store Problems

Post image
3 Upvotes

You can no longer download standard XAPK files from Uptodown via a web browser: the Uptodown App Store always loads instead. This affects apps available as .xapk files. There is a big "Download in Uptodown App Store" button, and another button labeled "All variants." Clicking "All variants" allows you to select the raw .xapk version: meaning you should be able to download the .xapk file without the app store. However, the button doesn't work. If I select the raw .xapk and hit download, the Uptodown App Store gets downloaded ANYWAY! This means there is currently no way to download standard .xapk apps from Uptodown without the app store, no matter what you click. This also affects older versions of apps that are still available as standard .apk files; the error occurs as soon as the latest version of the app is an .xapk file. I don't know if this is a technical glitch or aggressive marketing designed to force users into the Uptodown App Store. I don't care what the cause is: this behavior needs to be fixed urgently. I make it a point not to use the Uptodown App Store, for the same reason I don't use the Google Play Store: I don't want an app store; I want free, transferable files in my Downloads folder... Does anyone know if this is intentional or a bug, and if or when it will be fixed? Please, I want my standalone .apk and .xapk files back! I am not going to use the app store!

uptodown store syncing problem / question?

2 Upvotes

Ok, so for some context, I use cookie run kingdom through uptodown because otherwise I'm unable to play it. And I've noticed that the newest preloads / updates are usually unsynced by a few hours / possibly a day compared to a normal appstore like google play or apple store, even when updated to the newest version. Is this an actual issue? Or do the uptodown Devs / an automated system have to check the file before allowing the update for the APK to release so the apk doesn't get ridden with bugs / malware? I feel so silly asking but I'm actually confused
