ABC iview APK: questions and answers

Is there a version of ABC iview for older Android phones?

The current version needs Android 5.0 or later. Version 2.13 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 4.1 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 2.13 · All versions

Does ABC iview need Google Play services?

Not strictly. The APK lists Google Play services as optional, so some features may be missing on phones without them.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the ABC iview APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the other version checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 598b8f8acc40896fef0cd2ccddd502ce.
