I'm building a free browser based hub with a variety of apps that I find useful for me.

For now, I have 8 apps and I'd be grateful if any of you could give me your impressions.

I'd be happy too if any of them could be helpful for you.

Unfortunately, it seems they don't have efficient ways to prevent scams like that.

Your case reminded me the ledger fake app that was available there and lead to some millionaire losses.

Even more unfortunate is that the android store also isn't free from this risk =/

Ah, almost forgot, I wish good luck solving this issue!

Congratulations, it seems very cool.

It's not the same, but I've tried to create a free browser-based app to track bus lines where I live (Brazil), but I had to pause this project, as each city uses a different way to track their public transportation, and it would be hard to gather all the info in a way to be usable in the whole country.

It's nice to see something similar implemented to track the transportation in another country.
