Personal Experience 2010 to 2013


List is no longer up to date

At that time, these apps were recommended with the latest Android version.

Warning! Keylogger function in Android OS!
Up to Android version 7.1.2 there is a security hole known since 2016, which allows every Android developer to intercept and redirect keystrokes of the user unnoticed and even to obtain further permissions by fraud.
So old Android smartphones with this Android version must not be allowed on the internet anymore, that would be grossly negligent!
