About this APK

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

StarForce Reader allows you to open PDF and EPUB text documents as well as playback WAV, MP3, WMA, FLAC, OGG, etc. audio and AVI, MPEG, MOV, FLV, WMV, etc. video files. The full list of the supported formats is provided below. Protected files (SFPDF, PCDOC, and SFMEDIA) are created using the SFContent.com and SFLetter.com services, allowing content owners to securely encrypt their sensitive data from illegal distribution. The app scans the device for files that might be open on it, automatically adding them to the app's library. StarForce Reader allows you to sort, filter and search for files in the library. The application allows you to view not only encrypted data, but also regular PDF documents, as well as audio and video recordings. You can also create notes or search within the text. Sound playback for audio and video recordings is available in the background. Video: - AVI (.avi) - MPEG (.mpeg, .mpg, .mpe, .m1v, .m2v) - MP4 (.mp4, .m4v) - DVD (.vob, .ifo) - HD Video (.m2ts, .mts, .tod, .wmv, .mpg, .mov) - Flash (.flv) - Matroska (.mkv) - WMV (.wmv) - ASF (.asf) - 3GPP (.3gp3, .3gpp, .4g2) - Quick Time (.mov, .qt, .m4v, .mp4) Audio: - Dolby Digital (.ac3) - FLAC (.flac) - AAC (.m4a, .mp4, .m4p, .aac) - MP3 (.mp3) - Windows Media Audio 9 Lossless (.wma) - WAV (.wav) - Ogg Vorbis (.ogg) - RealAudio (.ra, .rm) - Matroska (.mka) NOTE: StarForce Reader installation itself does not give you access to protected files - you must have a serial number issued by the content owner.

StarForce Reader 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 StarForce Reader 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 the same certificate as the other version checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 95c9c20c66441b1a939f9cbe8da7cc53.
