Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

This app has absolutely no use. Test it and you'll see that it's totally useless. Tens of scientists of worldwide reputation tried to find it a use, but all their attempts ended in failures so far. So don't expect anything particular. All its features (none, in fact) are already mentioned in the description. This is the first multi-unfunctional application in the world. Just assume that for anything that any other app does... this app doesn't do it. The first application really making what it promises: uselessness.

Useless 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 Useless APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 05491623c71e08063ce650f15f917959.
