After successfully reported several dangerous apps in Microsofts Appstore and also getting them removed I would like to share a few tips on what to look for in general Before you install and test any app or game on your phone either it's a Android, iOS or Windows Phone/Mobile etc to hopefully keep you and your phone safer.

Keynote for Windows Phone/Mobile users. Microsofts Appstores Report feature only works as intended with Windows10 Mobile.

  1. Do Not Root or Hack in any other possible way the phone OS. The reson why should be obvious.
  2. Only install apps, games from the phone vendors appstore.
  3. Always read any possible ratings or reviews. The more of those the better.
  4. Always read about Capabilities/Permissions if available because this could surprise you big time.

Good luck! :)
