Samsung Compass 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 Samsung Compass APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. It is signed with Android's public test key, which anyone can use. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 4111c849a81d49a537c769e917bf4f8b.
