Description

From the listing uploaded by “split-store”.

Now@ is an opportunistic data sharing tool. It relies on the user's interests to share data. It allows users to share data directly, as well as across Named-data Networking (NDN) environments. The data sharing relies on ChronoSync. In NDN, Now@ requires NDN-Opp: an NFD extension for opportunistic environments.

Now@ 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 Now@ 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 bf08cf68a557cae908b0838dc5ab620e.
