About this APK

ROMEO - Gay Dating is an app by PlanetRomeo BV in the Dating category, listed since November 2012. It includes native code only for ARM 64-bit, so it won't install on phones that can only run 32-bit apps.

Since version 3.18.2, the minimum Android version rose from 5.0 to 9. It asks for 27 permissions, 8 of them sensitive, including precise location, camera and record audio. Compared with version 3.35.0, it adds 8 new permissions (“Modify shared storage”, “Read shared storage”, “Record audio” and 5 more) and drops 3 (“Modify audio settings”, “Read media audio” and “Read media video”). The app offers in-app purchases through Google Play and can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.
