About this APK

Philippine STAR is an app by Philippine Star in the News & Magazines 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 10 permissions, 4 of them sensitive, including precise location, read phone status and identity and find accounts on the device. Compared with version 7.1.0, it adds 3 new permissions (“Modify shared storage”, “Precise location” and “Read phone status and identity”) and drops 16 (“Access adservices ad id”, “Access adservices attribution”, “Access adservices topics” and 13 more). The app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.
