Topic: What do you think about airdrop that required apps install? - page 5. (Read 720 times)
Just download Nox or some other Android emulator for your PC to use the apps. You can easily download and import/install .apk files in it (apps from play store). If anything goes wrong you can can delete or make a new emulator instance in a minute.
I was involved in airdrops that needed to download the app. This app was like a wallet on your phone. There you could buy and sell Bitcoin Ethereum and Bitcoin cash. A lot of downloading it. There are bad airdrops and there are good ones. Maybe in a year it will be the best app on your phone for selling cryptocurrency.
you have to work carefully with apps because if you install something on your phone you can loose everything not only crypto. The best way to be safe is to follow the biggest ICO and airdrops with big projects because in that case you will have good amount of tokens/coins with nice price in the end and your data will stay safe.
In my opinion, when join airdop, only filling form and make share, follow, like. Dowload the app is the risk way which include virus.
Agree that risks are too high, i installed once, but after decided that it will be my first and last time. Even if i dont have any important information on that phone.
I think it's not risky, but Airdrops it's not good way to earn tokens. Try to participate in bounty campaigns by popular projects and managments team. AmaZix have good bounties.
I do not think that they are good airdrops because personally they never asked to download the application and this is suspicious.
Peraonaly downloading a required app for an airdrop is not safe since it can have viruses or malicious data that can damage your computers data or even worse use the data for fraudulent activites not to mention to steal your crypto. Even clicking into links also takes risk of hacking.
What kind of application does the project want to install? I once used a wallet app for a coin. But there are some failures in sending the token. Moreover, if every coin expects us to install the app, I think our phone will not be enough for everything. So I think it's impractical to be like that, because the capacity of mobile phones is not like pc or laptop.
I think it's too risky. It is very impractical to install a dubious application on your main computer for the sake of getting a few tens of dollars, which can cause damage to a more serious amount of money.
It's really dangerous. I wouldn't suggest to install that app to the phone that you use for 2fa no matter how much money you'll earn
I found a project offering an airdrop but required participants to download and install their mobile app. The app is newly made with only few hundreds download and I don't think I'll ever use it.
Is it too risky?
I have experienced to encounter such thing into these kind of airdrops where you would really need to install an app.Either on pc or mobile installing into unstrusted sources into the internet will really have always that kind of risk or danger where you might able to get infected and stole of important informations store into your device.I have seen lots of scenarios based on my experience.Losing up money due to virus or malware is rampant. If you are careless enough then most likely you would really end up the same. Is it too risky?
I would not install any app on mobile phone to get free tokens. There is high possibility the project could be a scam, or have some virus to still money or track the information from your mobile phone, the risk is too high.
if I think it's a complicated airdrop, so I will never follow the airdrop like that, there are plenty of other airdrops that are easier to follow, and also the app is likely to be at risk.
ı would stay away from these airdrops as well. Way to risky

that's right, we should avoid this sort of thing because it could give us more risk than what we get. actually I do not really like airdrop because usually they do not have good value in the market but sometimes they are also profitable.

Yes, installing a mobile application from an unknown manufacturer is too risky. In such an application there may be viruses or programs stealing personal information.
some bounty or other testing program require downloads.
usually you should scan the app with a very good antivirus program before using.
checking online at https://www.virustotal.com/, all the app directly in check and will be scanned with full details about the app in scan.usually you should scan the app with a very good antivirus program before using.
keep it carefully.
Generally decent ico need a certain coin hold before they airdrop it such as eth ,waves,neo token airdrops.majority of airdrop that requires app to install are majorly scam or they are just doing for app advertising purpose.but there are some decent app airdrop as well such as recently there was lend airdrop that require eidoo wallet to install.
