A dark space blocking my view of the game! That is when, in my opinion, the most impressive ad appeared. Then I was brought to page with a Sky Entertainment offer.ĭespite all of these frustrating ads, I went back to the app to play. When I tried getting around this ad, I was asked if I wanted to complete my action using my browser. Blocking my view of the stadium was, surprise, surprise, an ad! I decided to decline.Īfter this, I was able to start a game – at least so I thought. When I tried to get around the ad to start a game, a pop-up appeared telling me the page wanted to open a new play store window. The app opened and greeted me with the first ad. What did not improve with this game was the number of ads… The quality of the game got better in “ Soccer 2016”, at least the players looked like actual people and had team jerseys on. While playing though, the field became very dark and all I could see was the score, the ball and the controls. Immediately after starting a game, the app showed an ad, but this was the only one I encountered while playing. The players look like Ikea’s GESTALTA artist figure, making it impossible to figure out which player belongs to which team. The quality of the game is also the worst out of all the apps. The first app I tested was “ Football 2015” and was the app that showed the least number of ads out of the four. I hate to disappoint, but even if you click “Cancel” a Sky entertainment ad appears as soon as you start a game. You’re probably thinking “Just click ‘Cancel’ to avoid giving away your personal information to Airpush, but more importantly, to avoid the annoying ads!”. Accepting these terms means that Airpush can automatically collect certain data from your device, includingįurthermore, Airpush can receive information via the permissions you granted the app, includingĪdditionally, when you click “Ok” to these terms you give your consent for Airpush to associate the Google advertiser ID from your device with other information it collects about your device, including persistent device identifiers and/or personally identifiable information. more information than the games are worthĪll four of the apps request agreement to Airpush, Inc.’s (advertising network) privacy policy & advertising terms when opening the apps for the first time. I decided to test each app to see if the negative reviews regarding the ads were true and unfortunately, they are. Each developer name has only uploaded one app and there are no links to any developer homepages. All four apps have the same dex files and manifests. I dug a little deeper and despite the fact that these four apps were uploaded under different developer names, they seem to be developed by one developer. Clearly, the person or people behind these apps only intention is to make money and not to deliver quality apps. All four apps have negative reviews claiming the apps do practically nothing but display ads. I found four soccer/football apps on the Google Play Store, all with the same or similar names, that are pretty bad knock-offs of the popular FIFA app. Fake football apps appear on the Google Play Store in time for Copa America and Euro Cup.Ĭopa America Centenario and Euro Cup start this Friday and next Friday respectively, and everyone across the Americas and Europe are in the football/soccer spirit. Avast Threat Lab found four fake FIFA football apps on the Google Play Store - just in time for the Copa America 2016 soccer tournament.
