Choose carefully
Apps are great. There's something for everyone. Play,
communicate, work or have fun. But remember,
choose your apps carefully. Here are a few tips:
•
To help prevent spyware, phishing or viruses from
affecting your phone or privacy, use apps from
trusted sites, like
• In Market , check the apps' ratings and comments
before installing.
•
If you doubt the safety of an app, don't install it.
• Like all apps, downloaded apps will use up memory,
data, battery and processing power—some more
than others. For example, a simple battery level
widget will use less than a streaming music player
app. After installing an app, if you're not happy with
how much memory, data, battery or processing
power it's using, uninstall it. You can always install it
again later.
•
Just like web browsing, you may want to monitor
children's access to apps to help prevent exposure
to inappropriate content.
• Certain apps may not provide completely accurate
information. Take care, especially when it comes to
personal health.
