Help leaking internal memory

I use the Google and Amazon marketplace. If an app developer asks for payment, then I feel I should pay them for their work if I want that app. I know of one other apparently legit site (getjar) that has a different model for paid apps, but it doesn't update the apps like the Google or Amazon marketplace. So I don't use that one, but apparently they are okay.

I would tell you to avoid that site. From everything I know it is piracy/warez. As a general rule unless it is approved by the dev a paid app should not be available for free.

Is getjar legit? I used yo use umnet, but I like paying for apps that I use and try not to use pirated versions personally... I will occasionally especially if its not on the market even though it works on the MT that's about the only time I won't pay for a paid app... But stay away from them because if you get a virus there isn't a way to get rid of it without wiping and that can mean losing apps and settings.

Edit: also one example of a paid app you can get for free legally is setcpu... The dev has it on xda, or you can donate to the dev by buying it in the market... If its something from xda you should be safe as well since that's usually the devs putting up the links.

Its a legit market... I think there is something like that for jailbroken ipods too. All it is, is a marketplace full of cracked apps.

I don't know, I have heard different. I asked a mod to check in and they should tell you for sure.

Is getjar legit?

From what I hear, yes. I don't use it personally. I know you can talk about getjar here though.

okk plz ask them if that particular site is legit

 

[marc12868]

Hmmm interesting... I still would rather have up-to-date apps though!

I agree. I know that they have some sort of alternate way to pay the devs (from adds or something). But I prefer mine to be up to date.

I guess that makes sense... The same way crackle works... Ads. and that's why there are free apps on the market as well

soo is that site ligit or not??

 

[marc12868]

Here's a thread talking about it... I guess some people have had "this app was cracked by ____" so that means that its warez... pirated...

 

[agentc13]

soo is that site ligit or not??

Yeah as far as I know it's warez.

A lot of times any pirated apps will have malware included. If it seems too good to be true, it usually is.

can that harm my phone?

 

[scary alien]

no, it is NOT legit!

There is a YouTube video from them that starts out by saying "here's how you get paid apps for free".

Bad. Warez. Period.

 

[marc12868]

can that harm my phone?

Yes... It can also steal all your information stored on your phone depending on what its set up to do... Its just like in the computer world. If you log into site, use a credit card, all your contacts, etc. If there is malware it will have access to all of this depending on the permission the app has it could be more or less serious though.

why does it have good reviws then. ???

 

[scary alien]

Okay guys, just a quick follow-up...

I'm going to be making some edits to the posts above to remove references of the aforementioned warez site.

We just don't want to lend or give any credence at all to sites like that, that are so blatant in their methods.

Thanks and I hope you all understand.

they even have a facebook page and twitter to with fans

It isn't hard to fake reviews to make something look good. If a shady site does something like that it can make it look more legit (just like you thought).

Also to add people who aren't exactly tech savvy and don't know about malware and such and see they can get apps for free of course they're gonna rate it high...

 

[agentc13]

Also it isn't hard to get fans when you steal stuff and give it to them for free.

Devs that ask payment for their apps deserve it if you want to use the app. It's that simple.

You didn't edit your previous post...

 

[scary alien]

LOL, thank you for noticing, Marc .

Actually, I left it in initially so that folks who came after would know to avoid the site being discussed was a baddie.

I asked for a little advice from our awesome Moderator staff, and got some excellent advice: everyone whose posts I edited already knew what the site was, and those that come after are better off not knowing, eh?

'Tis now gone from my post, too.

Cheers and thanks, all!

[luis9000]
