The example you mentioned (coinbase wallet) is a closed source app. I would never recommend using it as primary wallet for anybody. Someone should not trust anybody with his money, so it's wise not to download your wallet app from unknown sources like third-party app stores, or links sent to you by emails, or ads pop-up in the websites you visited. Only download reputed apps (preferly open source which has been downloaded thousands times) and don't forget to check reviews before download and permissions before install.
Furthermore, if a wallet app is available in official store of google or apple, this doesn't mean that it's fully secure and you are still under risk to use a fake wallet app or an app containing malwares.

Even there is a specific platform to download your favorite wallet still there are some people downloading the application into other websites and one of the examples is this.

Coinbase app
Code:
https://wallet.coinbase.com/
https://coinbase.com/

Helps you to direct to your Google Play or Apple Store

Also, avoid downloading an application with the use of unknown websites to prevent getting damage on those platforms.

Example:



Some of them consist of

Ransomware - they hold your information or device and to get it back you just need to pay them.

Trojan - pretends to be a useful application program to your device and will damage and steal your information.
