• 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.
