About this APK
Ollie by Sphero is an app by Orbotix in the Entertainment category. It includes native code only for x86 32-bit and ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.
It asks for 15 permissions, 5 of them sensitive, including approximate location, read phone status and identity and find accounts on the device. Compared with version 1.0.3, it adds 6 new permissions: “Approximate location”, “Find accounts on the device”, “Read shared storage” and 3 more.

Ollie by Sphero 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 Ollie by Sphero 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 6e90543baa4fee37cf7ca6b4d90eceb9.
