Freepoc has some Android and WearOS apps (currently around 15) that are distributed via the Google Play Store. We have other apps that aren’t on the Play Store but are only available from this website. For the latter, it’s a fair question to ask whether there is any risk in using such apps from a small indie developer. When making your decision, there are a few things you might consider:
- Freepoc has been publishing various apps via this website since 1999 (so long before Android became a thing). So that’s 27 years and counting. It’s pretty unlikely that we’d have stuck around all this time if our apps weren’t completely legitimate.
- All our apps (whether Play Store or not) show the real developer’s name, not a pseudonym/company name. In the case of Freepoc’s Android/WearOS apps the developer is Malcolm Bryant.
- You’ll find my actual email address in all my Android apps, and we also have a generic support email address on this website. I try to respond to every email I receive (and that’s a lot).
- I have a published privacy policy that applies equally to all Freepoc apps, whether on the Play Store or not.
- I have a dedicated YouTube channel with video tutorials for many Freepoc apps; links are available on this website. I also reply in person to the comments on those videos.
- I host a forum on Reddit, where I post and reply to comments and questions about Freepoc apps.
So, based on the above factors, you can make your own decision about whether to use our apps. If you decide to use them, that’s great, welcome aboard. If you decide not to use them, that’s absolutely fine too.
