Can I trust apps downloaded from Aptoide? I just downloaded an app from there that is suppose to allow Screen Off Writing. After installing, it was anything but that. How much checking does Aptoide do on apps? Can I trust apps I get from there?
Anyone can upload apps to Aptoide, iirc without good, if any, verification.

Aptoide is also known to be a source of pirated apps, so if you want to use any app, consider downloading it from Play Store or from the official source.

Many apps are the original ones and considered safe. If you have concerns, do not use it.
