Showmax 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 Showmax 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. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 27ad8d38af77f871a8d23b5b94b52b42.
