About this APK

Bracket Tracker is an app by JeffRichards in the Sports category, listed since at least March 2022. It includes native code only for x86 64-bit, so it won't install on ordinary ARM phones (only on x86 devices such as emulators and some Chromebooks).

Since version 13.0.3, the APK grew from 10.6 MB to 21.3 MB and the minimum Android version rose from 4.4 to 7.0. It asks for 10 permissions, none of them sensitive. It asks for the same permissions as version 16.0.1. The app can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.
