Welcome to the 356th edition of Weekly Android App.. The big headlines last week are:
- GoSMS has security vulnerabilities.. The vulnerability is very simple. Go SMS allows users to share files via web links. You can open web links without the app. Researchers have discovered that the app creates links in sequence. So basically you only need one link to know all the other links. The researcher told GoSMS, but the app didn’t fix the problem. Click the link for more information.
- Google launched a new app In Kenya and India. A new app, TaskMate, pays users a small amount of money to perform basic smartphone actions. You will be asked to say 10 sentences or take a picture of the storefront. The app pays in real money instead of Play Store credits. However, it’s a little difficult to get in because you need a referral code.
- AliExpress was banned in India this week.. This is the latest Chinese app banned domestically due to political instability between the two countries. Join the large and ever-growing list of Chinese apps banned throughout 2020. Click on the link for the complete list. If you are affected Press the alternative thought link..
- Microsoft may introduce Android apps to Windows 10.. First, Microsoft will add direct support for Android apps to the platform to bypass the emulator. That way, developers can basically publish their app to the Microsoft Store with very little code changes. This isn’t the first time Microsoft has tried it, but hopefully it’s the last. This greatly improves app support on Microsoft Windows.
- Google Messages is adding end-to-end encryption To that app. This only works with RCS and only if both participants have the chat feature turned on and are using Google Messages. Beta will be available to everyone during the next two weeks when beta testing is complete. Click the link for more information.

We’ve received a lot of 1-star reviews from people who want free manga. However, the app is solid and there are few UI complaints.
Shining Beyond
price: Free play
Shining Beyond is an idol RPG. It relies a little more on RPG elements. Players can earn resources and treasures offline, just like in a regular idle game. However, you can also play online with other players, customize heroes, and play in-game events. There is also a campaign mode. There are some bugs and the control may use some tweaks. Otherwise, a lot of gameplay is a waste of time.
