Be honest: do you use illegal apps on your smartphone?

Ja

I only use YouTube Vanced 😅. But youtube is without advertising and with sound even when you exit the app, as you would normally with youtube Premium. And before I had Minecraft for free, but then it suddenly stopped working… But I pay for films and music (Netflix and Spotify) because it would be too risky for me and the illegal sites are no good.

How is it with you, do you have illegal apps or do you stream illegally? Or do you prefer to pay and be sure? I would be interested! LG, thanks for replying

I don't use anything illegal on my cell phone. Maybe APK'd every now and then, but the apps are all gone as I ran out of storage space.

I wish you a good start into the new week and greet you from Lower Austria!

In the meantime I don't use a smartphone at all, just my tablet and nope none.

I'm not a fan of unofficial apps on my mobile device.

I mainly use smart home apps and the manufacturers usually provide them free of charge.

I use other apps that I use either as a free version with advertising, or I buy them if the price is fair enough.

Apps that I use and cost money would be e.g. The Office package from Microsoft, but that is cross-device and therefore more of a useful addition on the smartphone.

As far as work is concerned, the company provides all other necessary apps as a stand-alone solution or as a license.

I pay for Spotify, other apps such as Netflix, SkyTicket or AmazonPrime (Video) I also pay by subscription, but I don't use them on my smartphone anyway, even if I have installed them.

So briefly answered your question

Gr

Youtube Vanced is not really illegal.

You can root your cell phone and install apps with ad blockers.

When it comes to pirated copies → Yes, I've had a few games. It was funny until I realized that even if I didn't have to pay anything, I didn't want to play anything on my smartphone.

Ne

Yes. I was looking forward to the game "The White Door" (2 years ago?) And when it came out it cost 3 euro. I recently downloaded it for free from the Internet and played it through in 4-5 hours

Ne

I also come from Lower Austria.

Da

Cool! From which city, if I may ask?

I also wish you a good start into the new week and greet you from Lower Austria!

Ne

Hollabrunn, Großkadolz.

Da

OK! I kum from Herzogenburg, approx. 10 km north of St. Pölten.

Ja

Thanks for the detailed answer.

Ja

Okay yes 😅 thanks

Ja

Well, you could have indulged yourself 😅 on the other hand, hardly anyone will report you for 3 euro and 4-5 hours. Not that much now, haha

Ja

Thanks for the answer, greetings back from Munich (not that far away at all…)

Ja

I feel sorry for your Sebastian Kurz, the little corrupt. Just watch the latest episode of ZDF Magazin royale on Youtube or in the ZDF media library because Man Böhmermann takes the guy apart quite a bit. He didn't deserve to rule this beautiful country. The mountains are super beautiful and the people are very relaxed - they also have a holiday home in Austria (Saalbach Hinterglemm, I think the Salzburg region)

Ja

Reasonable! Yes, I also make sure that I don't always have mobile data on the go, you can do everything at home.

zo

I mainly do everything on the PC. I think the touchscreen is so disgusting to use.
Correct keys with haptic feedback are a million times more pleasant.

Ja

Yes, if you just want to do some research or check news, I'm too lazy to turn on my PC.

zo

My PC is on 24/7.

Ja

Yes then haha
