Security & authenticity

Security rating: Unknown

Signing certificate

  • Certificate issued to “Unknown” Not the developer's name (“Viasat, Inc.”). Names in certificates can't be verified, so this alone proves nothing.
  • The same certificate signs apps from 3 different developers Developers normally sign only their own apps. This can mean the files were re-signed by someone else — or that one company builds or publishes apps under several names.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. Its signing certificate is also used for apps from 3 different developers. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 78ed6409a151c267fc106b3a344a4abe.
