• If you doubt the safety of an app, don't install it.

• Like all apps, downloaded apps will use up memor y,

data, battery, and processing power—some more
than others. For example, simple settings widget
will use less than a streaming music player app.
After installing an app, if you're not happy with how
much memory, data, battery or processing power
it's using, uninstall it. You can always install it again
later.

• Just like web browsing, you may want to monitor

childrens’ access to apps to help prevent exposure
to inappropriate content.

• Certain apps may not provide completely accurate

information. Take care, especially when it comes to
personal health.

Choose carefully

Apps are great. There's something for everyone. Play,
communicate, work, or just for fun. But remember,
choose your apps carefully. Here's a few tips to help:

• To help prevent spyware, phishing or viruses

affecting your phone or privacy, use apps from
trusted sites, like

Market, check the apps’ ratings and comments

• In

ones for you.
