Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Android applications can be composed of several "activities" such as configuration (sub)menus. HiddenApp is able to list these activities and to add shortcut to your homescreen. It also allows to discover hidden applications, and print number of required permissions. A long press adds the shortcut on your homescreen. A version HiddenAppPro exists if you don't want ads anymore.

HiddenApp 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 HiddenApp APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 403d6cf4da43871e1718a53bd777fa28.
