About this APK

NYC Ferry is an app by Hornblower Cruises & Events in the Travel & Local category, listed since at least May 2022. It includes native code only for ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.

Since version 5.6.8, the minimum Android version rose from 7.0 to 8.0. It asks for 20 permissions, 7 of them sensitive, including precise location, camera and record audio. Compared with version 5.7.1, it adds 3 new permissions (“Camera”, “Access adservices ad id” and “Access adservices attribution”) and drops 1 (“Foreground service data sync”). The app can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.
