Security firstOne of our biggest challenges in competing with Google Play is providing security. As we’ve grown, we’ve discovered that our processes (which require our in-house editors and at times the use of automatization) are actually a lot safer than Google itself.All the content on Uptodown is scanned in depth by VirusTotal. This service analyzes all of Uptodown’s content with over 50 antiviruses. Valuable contentA solid part of Uptodown is centered on adding value to this content. Uptodown isn’t just a complete APK repository, we also provide reliable information (app reviews, videos and all kinds of additional editorial content) created in-house by our team of editors with the end goal of helping users make more informed decisions.
