APKMania: Is this legal?

You can find numerous Android apps for download free of charge on the APKMania website. We will tell you whether the offer is legal or whether you should stay away from it.

APKMania: Download Android apps for free

• At APKMania you will find a large selection of Android apps. All applications are free here, even if they are only available for a fee in the Google Play Store or the Amazon App Store.
• Since many applications have been modified for free use, in-app purchases are often free. The apps are downloaded via file hosters and therefore not directly via the website. This procedure is also used at Kinox.to.

How legal is the offer from APKMania?

• Since the applications are distributed free of charge and sometimes even edited without developer authorization, APKMania's offer is illegal. However, this does not mean that you make yourself punishable by using it.
• The use of modified apps can hardly be proven for outsiders and is therefore not tracked. As a rule, you do not have to expect legal consequences. However, you can easily catch viruses on your smartphone.
• Since the apps do not come from the Google Play Store, you must allow the installation of files of unknown origin. This opens the door for every malware.
• Even if APKMania's offer is tempting, it remains illegal and, above all, dangerous. Tip: At Amazon Underground you can use numerous paid apps without payment - very safely and without a legal gray area.
