Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Is Navbar Apps free?

The APK is free to download, but the app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.

Is the Navbar Apps 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 9d02cf491e4859f577fba2024b198767.
