About this APK
Talkatone: Free Texts, Calls & Phone Number is an app by yuilop in the Communication category, listed since at least August 2013. It includes native code only for x86 64-bit, so it won't install on ordinary ARM phones (only on x86 devices such as emulators and some Chromebooks).
Since version 2.0-1308080439, the minimum Android version rose from 2.3.3 to 4.2. It asks for 30 permissions, 9 of them sensitive, including precise location, camera and record audio. Compared with version 5.7, it adds 4 new permissions (“Read phone status and identity”, “Google Play install referrer”, “Manage own calls” and “Run foreground services”) and drops 3 (“Broadcast sticky”, “Read shared storage” and “Write settings”). The app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.
