About this APK

Backwords is a game by Synapse Studios in the Word category, listed since at least September 2019. It includes native code only for ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.

It asks for 3 permissions, none of them sensitive.

What's new in v2.3

Added a new mode, started work on Google Play integration. Bug fixes.

Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

This is a simple word game where you spell the word at the top of the screen backwards. Please give me feedback on how I may improve upon this concept!

Security & authenticity

Signing certificate

Certificate with Google's generic name Google Play App Signing gives the keys it manages this name, but anyone can put it in a certificate, so this alone proves nothing.

Backwords APK: questions and answers

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 Backwords APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store's check of the developer's signature failed. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 950690c4bd9803d90cdb8bc7fc574f3e.
