SoundAbout 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 SoundAbout APK safe?

Its signing certificate is also used for apps from 141 different developers. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 49765e8bdc2bed4679cbeda3be7b39a1.
