Not ‘Appy

It has come to my attention that a Cold Case-related app has recently been added to the Google Play store for Android phones and tablets.

I won’t further the embarrassment by naming names.  And I’m certainly not going to post a link to the page in the app store.  That’ll just encourage them.

Suffice to say the app is a simple word puzzle game with some pictures of the cast, all of which you’ve seen on this site and dozens of others.  It’s an app with a silent “cr”.  The maker has churned out a load of them on different themes. It is NOT official in any way.

There’s a bunch of reasons that the app is not on Apple’s App Store, the main one being that the Fruity one curates the content on there to stop such dross.  Keep in mind that just because version 1 of an app has simple permissions (network access for instance) doesn’t mean that v1.1 won’t try and sneak far more dangerous ones past you such as sending text messages or accessing you contacts.  Let’s be careful out there.

The saving grace is that the app is free.  Charging for it would be a crime.  Much like the English in the accompanying description.

    Lol ! Well then I’ll be less desappointed because It’s not on the Apple store.
