Are Free Recharge Apps like mCent, Ladoo, AppMoney doesn't degrade the Android Handset Performance?

[Piyush89]

I am using some android apps like mCent, Ladoo, AppMoney. Have a small question. Are these apps degrade the phone performance or work as usual.

Although i think they work on affiliate module so all the offers, data, deals they offer came via an API System. Still do they degrade the overall system performance.

Recently downloaded Ladoo and AppMoney - Free Recharge App for Android. Found it light weight as compare to other apps in same genre.

Please suggest on this.

I don't run any of these type of apps. They seem a bit too scammy for my tastes. Regardless of the apps purpose, if they install any running services or randomly connect to other networks without user intervention (like getting push ads or notifications) they certainly can degrade performance, drain battery life and possibly open you to something more nefarious.

Just had a look at two of these apps (couldn't find appmoney) and their descriptions seem identical but not very clear.
Out of interest (purely academic), what do they offer, money for installing apps or what?
Cheers

yah, this is kindoff a new app similar to the concepts of the above mentioned. But yah we are working on the second phase of this. Though, we look forward for a great response. And surely will let you know when it is up in the market

Free talktime, and sometimes gifts options, in return for installing apps, watching videos and "undertaking tasks" (whatever that means).

Undertaking tasks = probably spamming

Ahh.. Not my cup of tea then.
