What do you think about airdrop that required apps install?

[thedarksun]

I found a project offering an airdrop but required participants to download and install their mobile app. The app is newly made with only few hundreds download and I don't think I'll ever use it.

Is it too risky?

It just depends, we need to remember that not all of aps or anything, that "teams" which are looking after coins/ tokens, are scams, sometimes we need to risk something to gain anything, that is how our market is working.

i don't have interest such project because most of the project that requires App's are not good. although some airdrops are also good but those good once can not give you reasonable and exchangeable token.

In some part you are right that most of those coins are not that valuable and sometimes we are just getting tokens that haven't got any value or could not be sell but we need to remember that not every air has the same and sometimes it is not a bad idea to just risk some time to gain some nice tokens.

Some are good but some are really terrible. IMO, I don't like airdrop especially airdrop require installing moblie app like this. Of course I don't know if it's a safe app to download or not cause it can contain viruses so I can lose all my important documents in my phone. Beside if it's a safe app to download so I think it's a good way to eliminate airdrop cheaters .

[Clemente18]

Always similar requests cause concerns to me. In one airdrop asked to give them passport details with a photo. I didn't begin to do it. Say that the companies which request information maximum always pay. Whether so it?

I don't recommend downloading apps that don't have trustable authors. Bounty tokens doesn't worth being hacked.

Now a days airdrops are not trusted enough to ads and apps. Dont dare to appreciate those request it will hit you up at rhe end. Most of rhe airdrops are not legits it will brings you viruses to your gadgets from there apps. Read and research everything before youn decide. Goodluck to you.

I am also cautious when it comes to downloading some apps to receive some tokens. I have seen a lot of times that some people would download apps and later on being hacked. I only choose those airdrops that only require an ethereum address because at least I don't need to download anything. I only choose the airdrops that I join though because there are times when the team is scam and just want to have any information like e-mail address to sell it to other people that needs the addresses.

The application store (Google play / AppStore) checks the programs for the presence of the marquee codes. It's quite normal that developers ask to install the application on their device, it raises statistics for them

Everything should be cautious on that they are randomly downloading online because once you do make a careless move then it would surely cost you money because you do lose funds either would be hacked or having downloading a malware or keylogger.
Sometimes when there are aidrops that do required app installation i do usually skip and move into other airdrop.I dont bother myself to claim those tokens no matter how many it would be.

I wouldnt. I know people who did and sometime later, their MEW gets hacked. I dont know if it's related, however, but it is a weird it happened shortly after 

[AlekseyCrypto]

It is very dangerous, your phone can steal your data and infect it with a virus. I would not recommend to perform such airdrop. It is probably a Scam.

[Sergo Grigo]

I think that downloading the application on your mobile phone from an unknown manufacturer for the sake of airdrop tokens is too risky. Perhaps this application contains a virus that steals personal data, so I would recommend not to download this application.

[anti76]

I do not advise you to do this. Now, there are many applications that can be spyware. After that you can lose your data and very regret about this

[Teodiff]

It might be dangerous and it can be a hassle for new users.
But it is the way for a real adoption which again depends on the quality of the product.

[DanWalker]

It seems to me very risky, because you can infect your device with malware. After all, you can not be completely sure that the application is without malware. I would not download the application to a device where I have passwords from wallets and exchanges.

[jojovalentia]

I'd rather avoid them, I won't install anything from which I don't know anything about, if you install it on your phone you may be prone to information leaks that could go really bad for you.

It is too risky because it may get malware to your devices and it can also get personal information of yours. However, there are airdrop that you need to install app but they are reliable and trustworthy. Before joining airdrop, get a background information about the airdrop manager and the purpose of that coin and other information that will help you to determine whether the airdrop is not risky.

Is it too risky?

Yes, it is risky to download apps for the sake of altcoins. We do not know if the app that you will download is safe to your phone. Based on the number of downloads, I think that app is not a good app to download. Once you download the app, the app might have advertisements. Instead of you earning money, the company/team will earn more than you because of the advertisements.

certainly risky, so you should try to research it and find out
but in my experience, there are many airdrops that do the same method, not all of them are bad there are some good ones. well so you have to research it

[bitgoldpanther1978]

Definitely a bad idea. Definitely a scam. It is a must not to join in this kind of airdrop. We may never know what lies behind the apps. There might be malwares or spywares included or any kind of modus that can get important information from your device.
