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

• Like all apps, downloaded apps will use up memory, data,

battery, and processing power—some more than others. For example, a simple battery level 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 ag ain later.

• Just like web browsing, you may want to monitor children’s

access to apps to help prevent exposure to inappropriate content.
