Choose Apps Carefully
Apps are great. There's something for everyone. Play, communicate, work, or have fun. But
remember, choose your apps carefully. Here are a few tips:
n
Choose apps from trusted sites, like Google Play.
n
On Google Play, you can check the app’s ratings and comments about the app before
installation.
n
If you doubt the safety of an app, don't install it.
n
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 again later.
n
Just like Web browsing, you may want to monitor children’s access to apps to help prevent
exposure to inappropriate content.
n
Certain apps may not provide completely accurate information. Take care, especially when it
comes to personal health.
