About this APK
GO Contacts EX is an app by Ringya in the Productivity category, listed since at least November 2011. It includes native code only for x86 32-bit, ARM (legacy), ARM 32-bit, MIPS and mips-r2, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.
It asks for 20 permissions, 9 of them sensitive, including read contacts, call phone and read phone status and identity.

GO Contacts EX 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 GO Contacts EX 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. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 954a9986f9cef8d8d69902f5a93a266d.
