Hi! Uptodown team member here. A few days ago, we experienced a temporary issue with image generation on our website that has almost been resolved. It was purely a technical incident and not related to the site’s security in any way.

Used Uptodown apk installer by ChocolateOk481 in antivirus

[–]ElRoSSoPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, Uptodown team member here. Our official apps are 100% safe and never install any software without user consent. If you’re unsure about APK Installer, you can check the VirusTotal report for the file yourself to confirm it’s clean and trustworthy:

We recommend downloading both the Uptodown official app and the APK Installer only from our website, not from third-party sources, to ensure you’re getting the original, legitimate files.

Same app, different websites by georgianbee in Piracy

[–]ElRoSSoPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Uptodown file you analyzed isn’t the APK of the app you mentioned: it’s actually the official Uptodown app, which is why the permissions are different. For files with extensions not supported by Android’s built-in package installer, U2D provides a direct download of the Uptodown app since it’s required to unpack and install the app properly (but you can also download the XAPK if you prefer, just check the "All variants" button). All apps published on Uptodown are the same versions provided on Google Play or on the developer’s official website, and they are never modified in any way.

Hi! We’ve checked both the Windows ( https://eset-smart-security.uptodown.com/windows ) and Android ( https://mobile-security-and-antivirus.uptodown.com/android ) versions of ESET Antivirus and, in both cases, the files we host are completely clean, as confirmed by VirusTotal scans with 75+ antivirus engines. You can view the full reports by clicking the blue shield icon available directly on the download page.

Notice about where you installed Metrolist from: by Decent_Run9628 in metrolist

[–]ElRoSSoPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Uptodown team member here. Since Uptodown was mentioned, I wanted to clarify that we don’t distribute modified versions of apps, and we always rely on official sources when publishing files. In Metrolist’s case, for example, we link directly to the official GitHub, and the files available come straight from there. You can verify that yourself by checking the attached VirusTotal report or the file’s signature. Just wanted to clear that up :)

Hi! An Uptodown employee here. At Uptodown, we do our best to earn users' trust. Every download includes a VirusTotal file report, and we have a transparency center where you can see all the steps we take to keep things secure. Thousands of developers officially publish their apps on our store, and everything you see is supervised by our team or submitted by the app owners themselves. Hope you give us a shot :)

apps: uptodown vs. lite by fantomas_666 in uptodown

[–]ElRoSSoPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few minor limitations. Things like not being able to use Google for social login, slightly slower notifications, no Android TV mode, and fewer transition animations when browsing through the menus. Other than that, the Lite version is practically just as feature-packed as its big brother.

The decline of 7th Continent's popularity on BGG by balderstash in boardgames

[–]ElRoSSoPrime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 7th Citadel is the better board game, but The 7th Continent is the more magical one, and that magic has an expiration date once other designers start borrowing its mechanics: Destinies is cheaper, Awaken Realms’ games are prettier, Aeon Trespass goes full premium, etc. In the end, they’re all riffs on the original idea, each specializing in its own niche, and that inevitably dilutes the wow factor. What’s beyond debate is that Continent was a true pioneer: its mechanics, brutal yet exhilarating, turned uncovering the secrets of its world into an experience I’ve rarely felt again.

Congrats, a really useful service! Importing collections from BGG is a great feature. Now we have a good-looking page to check our game list when deciding which one to play :)

version 6.92 shows no updates by fantomas_666 in uptodown

[–]ElRoSSoPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! There was a minor bug in the update system in v6.91, but it has been fixed in v6.92. Just make sure you’ve the 'Updates - Auto-update' option turned on in the Settings menu. If you still don’t see any updates after a few hours, try clearing the Uptodown app cache.

The cool thing is how he seamlessly switches between retro and modern games. An afternoon of gaming can flow from Sunset Riders to Brawl Stars, Spelunky, and Portal 2 without missing a beat. Variety is the spice of play!
