I know one shouldn't be installing apps from shady sources, but what if I just want to try out and app before actually purchasing it from the play store.

Are there any good sources to download from ?

Mobilism. Comments work similar to torrent comments on giving me warnings if an apk is bad or its because the user doesnt know how to differentiate against false flags/actually dumb.

I used to use mobilism and would recommend it. Nowadays I just find foss alternatives

For real, FOSS alternatives are pretty damn good, I have learned so much since I got here.

Mobilism most of the time and also Telegram channels from modder groups.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are these telegram groups invite only or could I perhaps join?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're public groups, maybe there are better private groups but then you might as well go to Mobilism and make an App request. I prefer these channels to the modder's website because you don't get anti-adblock banners and it's faster to search.

Look for RBMods, MixRoot Mods, there is also a LiteApk channel. Those are what I have at the moment. I'm sure there are many others you can find through those channels alone.

Then your apps are just insecure.

Your apps have simple IAP checks then.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

They have pirated apps? That's news to me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

apkmirror most of the time.

Worth looking into mobilism forum. They have modded apks to unlock premium stuff, not sure if what they have is ratted, just make sure you're on the real forum. (I believe it's the .org domain? correct me if I'm wrong)

So mobilism dot me is fake? Fuck.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Had a slight panic then as well but the official site lists mobilism dot me as a legit alternative domain. Phew!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thank God that's how it is lol

I recently stumbled upon platinmods dot com, don't know whether it is safe though so a comment from someone who knows about this site more will be appreciated

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's safe. I would stick to the approved/verified and tested mods sections of the site.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's always best to stick with official platforms like the Google Play Store for app downloads to ensure safety and avoid malware. While it might be tempting to try out apps from unofficial sources, it can expose your device to potential risks. Some apps offer free trials or "lite" versions on the Play Store, so it’s worth checking those first. Always prioritize security over convenience!着信音

It's risky to download apps from unofficial sources due to malware. Instead, look for trial versions or use legitimate alternatives like Google Play Pass or app store promotions for safe testing Telefon Csengőhangok

To find the perfect ringtone for your phone, consider your favorite music genres and moods. Check out sites like Zedge or Audiko for a wide selection of free ringtones. You can also create custom ringtones from your own music using apps like Ringtone Maker. Don’t forget to explore the Rizz Soundboard for unique sounds! Happy hunting!

I agree with your point of view, downloading pirated Android apps will bring many dangers, that's why I advise you to find safe, reliable addresses to download such as free ringtones
