Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

This app is generally compatible with the desktop version of Dwyco Video CDC-X, except: There is no real-time audio/video calling at the moment. You can only send still pics from your camera, not video. We're working on this functionality, and it should appear in an update in the near future. NOTE: the app is set by default to only display reviewed, non-explicit profiles. If you prefer to view all profiles, visit the app settings and check "show unreviewed content". PERMISSIONS: this app requires the "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" permission so it can store your messages on the phone. If you deny it this permission, the app will not run. There will be a fix for this in the future. Quick rundown of features: * Privacy oriented: no accounts to create, messages are end-to-end encrypted, we don't use your contact list unless you tell us to (and even then, we do not keep a copy of it), we don't data-mine your phone, we don't require you to enter your phone number or email address. * Send and receive audio/picture/video messages, even when someone is offline. * Tag messages as favorites, or hidden. * Simple public chat trivia game, with a listing of who might be playing. * Public directory so you can browse people who have been using the app recently. You can make yourself invisible in the directory if you wish. * Open source, send email to [email protected] for GitHub link. I'm sure there are tons of peculiarities and bugs, feel free to send any feedback to [email protected].

phoo 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 phoo APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 21433baba9bfd56fdfd339f28cda6ae8.
