This is very true.
Not all cryptocurrency wallets that is on playstore or apple store is secured and should be used to store cryptocurrencies. It is best to use the trusted wallets like coinomi, trust, enjin wallets. These are secure
Better still get an hardware wallet, that is the most secure and safest wallets to use.

Thank you for sharing the information. Other than authentic source, we must not use any crypto wallet. Electrum is an authentic wallet which can be found at their website as well.
For those who are using iPhone and androids be careful ,their are some crypto mobile wallets on store that aren't popular or well knowned ,please do not use them ,some of this apps have keyloggers pre installed ,they will easily steal your backup phrase
Especially those named 'bitcoin wallet' like in the picture below, they are well rated and they are in different colors
Head to playstore or iOS store and type in just 'bitcoin wallet' you will see many fake bitcoin wallets popping up ,go for popular mobile wallets like coinomi ,trust ,enjin ,mycelium ,coinbase ,bitpay ,copay,bread ,jaxx or atomic wallet.

This is the big problem when the store can't maintain its store to be free from the clone apps. Playstore and appstore need a lot of improvement, especially for the security and code check. it's much better to use its official site to get the direct link to the app.
I don't know why some people feel it is advisable to use their mobile phone for keeping their Cryptos, Android OS in particular is very venerable to attacks and with the coming bull run more of these wallets will keep poping up on their popular stores just to steal people's money
I too sometimes think that using mobile to save crypto is abig NO, too much possibility of losing and could cause such a huge blunder. Even using raspberry is a lot safer because you will not carry it everywhere and lost it. 
Use paper/pencil or other hardware air-gapped wallets. Crypto's gift of financial self determination also means you MUST be knowledgeable and practiced in basic security. The banks are not there to do it for you. Thanks for the warning on the apps.

And aside from wallets also those exchange we use must be reliable because lots of them now are also scams and phishing sites
Thanks for informing crypto mobile wallets users ,there are fake wallets on play store ,I've installed one in the past that have no backup phrase or private keys so I quickly uninstalled the app and scan my phone with good antivirus just to be sure I'm safe
If you find any scam wallet or you have suspicions about one, you should report it so it can be removed from the store, this is the best way to fight against this, no only not downloading those fake wallets but also reporting them. On the other hand, store managers should strengthen controls when it comes to crypto wallets.
Yeah it is really shocking to see so many phishing and fake type of wallets in all the app stores i do not know how they pass the filter of these stores, secondly there are increasing scammers everywhere online and we need to be very alert these days.
As the market grows back, Scammers become more and more dangerous, We should only look for names that are highly valued instead of looking for wallet with Bitcoin names.
It is always better to stay away from mobile wallets, IMO. Before mobile devices and mobile wallets are weaker, and more vulnerable than desktop wallets. However, if someone have need to bring their coins around to do their business stuffs, they can store part of their funds in mobile wallets. yes, just enough funds to run their daily business. The main part of their funds should be kept out of mobile wallets and mobile devices.
Never download any apps from your devices which you dont know exactly. And android users will be more careful because some legal apps has back doors and hackers use it.
Thank you for a good information. For me I will not try new app in using crypto online wallet. I will go always at the proven and tested wallet that many crypto users that already used from yhe start that crypto industry are not so popular and famous like what we have on the present market situation. Be carefull every one we need to secure our investment don't be attract on the marketing strategies that they always do to make some illegal activity like scam and fraud
