MTV Play APK: questions and answers
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Is MTV Play free?
The APK is free to download, but the app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.
Is the MTV Play APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the other version checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is f700a033800c33f63f5f0499a8c48e23.
