About this APK
TapVPN Free VPN is an app by Tap.pm in the Communication category, listed since at least August 2014. It includes native code only for ARM 64-bit, so it won't install on phones that can only run 32-bit apps.
Since version 0.7.77, the minimum Android version rose from 4.0.3 to 5.0. It asks for 7 permissions, none of them sensitive. Compared with version 0.7.77, it adds 2 new permissions (“Google Play install referrer” and “Run foreground services”) and drops 12 (“Approximate location”, “Precise location”, “Find accounts on the device” and 9 more). The app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.
