Choose carefully
Apps are great. There's something for everyone. Play,
communicate, work, or just for fun. But remember,
choose your apps carefully. Here's a few tips to help:
• To help prevent spyware, phishing or viruses
affecting your phone or privacy, use apps from
trusted sites, like
Market .
• In
Market , check the apps’ ratings and comments
before installing. This will help you choose the best
ones for you.
• 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, simple settings 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.
