Is androidapplications.store a scam?

Our automated security review marked androidapplications.store as suspicious. Several warning signs were detected; it may still turn out legitimate, but you should verify it through independent channels before trusting it with money or credentials.

Is androidapplications.store safe to use?

androidapplications.store currently scores 51/100 on our trust scale. We found enough warning signals to recommend caution. Verify the site through independent channels before entering credentials or money.

Does androidapplications.store have a valid SSL certificate?

Yes. androidapplications.store presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · E8, expiring in 40 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.

Has androidapplications.store been flagged by antivirus engines?

No. All 92 antivirus engines in our malware network report androidapplications.store as clean.

Is androidapplications.store on any phishing or malware blacklists?

No. androidapplications.store is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.

Where is androidapplications.store hosted?

androidapplications.store resolves to an IP operated by Selectel Network in RU (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.

How often is the androidapplications.store report updated?

This is a permanent record of the scan run on July 3, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around androidapplications.store have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.

These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence

The site presents several red flags despite its high traffic volume. It advertises Minecraft version 1.26, which does not exist in the official development cycle, suggesting the files are heavily modified or mislabeled to attract clicks. Our page analyzer detected intrusive notification prompts and an artificial 'queue' system designed to keep users on the page. There is a complete absence of contact information, physical addresses, or legal entity details, which is highly unusual for a site serving over a million visitors. While some user reviews are positive, the lack of transparency regarding the file sources creates a significant security risk.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The storefront focuses on popular mobile titles like Minecraft and Brawl Stars, offering 'modded' versions that promise features not found in the official releases. The site uses psychological triggers like artificial wait times and prompts users to enable browser notifications, which are often used to deliver unwanted ads or phishing links later.

Infrastructure

The site is hosted on a dedicated IP with a valid SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt. However, the lack of a global traffic index ranking despite high reported visits suggests the traffic may be highly localized or driven by specific referral networks rather than organic search trust.

Domain History

The domain operates without public ownership records, and the technical scan was unable to retrieve historical WHOIS data. This anonymity is a common trait for sites distributing grey-market or pirated content to avoid legal takedowns.

Web Reputation

While the site maintains an active presence on social platforms like Telegram and VK, it operates entirely outside the official app ecosystem. The absence of negative reports in major databases is likely due to the site's niche audience, but the distribution of 'cracked' content inherently carries a higher risk of embedded malware.

Risk Factors

Offers non-existent software versions (Minecraft v1.26) to lure users.
No business registration, physical address, or contact email provided.
Uses deceptive UI elements like fake download queues and intrusive notification prompts.
Distributes APKS and XAPK files that require third-party installers, increasing malware risk.
Operates as an unofficial repository for copyrighted games and modded apps.

Positive Signals

Valid SSL certificate is currently active.
Zero detections across our antivirus partner network.
Active community presence on Telegram and VK.
Positive ratings found on some independent review aggregators.

AI Recommendation

Do not download or install APK files from this site. Use official stores like Google Play to ensure the apps you install are authentic and free of malicious modifications.
