In the digital world, smartphones and applications (apps) have become an integral part of our daily lives. Beyond shopping, we use them for social networking, entertainment, information, work, obtaining services (e.g. utilities, taxis), and more. App stores give us easy access to a variety of applications that make our lives easier and more colourful. However, it is important to be cautious before downloading, as a free app may later involve charges, or certain apps may pose risks to our personal data.
