Security & authenticity

Background Video Recorder 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 Background Video Recorder free?
The APK is free to download, but the app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.
Is the Background Video Recorder APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store flagged this file with a security warning. It is signed with Android's public test key, which anyone can use. Its signing certificate is also used for apps from 141 different developers. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is f215f5a8a782e215d0412685199ac89e.
