Be forewarned that these apps are not legal in certain states.
Hackers around the world work day and night to figure out ways to break into your Android smartphone to collect personal and private information. They want all the information in your smartphone, from bank accounts and passwords to email and social media. That’s why you should keep your eyes peeled for the most obvious signs of Android malware.
Podcasts do make boring subjects listenable. Most people blanch at the thought of history, or politics, or economics. But a good podcast can cut through all the resistance and share some good information in an entertaining way.
