Security & authenticity

Security rating: Trusted

Signing certificate

Signed with Android's public test key This key is published with Android's source code, so anyone can sign a file with it.
The same certificate signs apps from 141 different developers Developers sign only their own apps, so this almost always means the files were re-signed by someone else — often after being modified.
Other versions use a different certificate v4.4.48.15 and v4.4.45.37. Android normally won't update an installed app with a file signed by another certificate, and a new certificate can mean a different publisher. v4.4.48.15 · v4.4.45.37

Samsung Notes APK: questions and answers

Does Samsung Notes need Google Play services?

Yes. The APK declares Google Play services as required, so it may not work on phones without them, such as recent Huawei models.

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 Notes APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with Android's public test key, which anyone can use. Its signing certificate is also used for apps from 141 different developers. Some other versions are signed with a different certificate. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is fcd7ae3ce371658e864880f323fff576.
