Defence News Update APK: questions and answers
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Is the Defence News Update APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 0fe6c94cd3a8af6ffe91f47baf8203ac.
