Identify the publisher and destination
Read the entire domain in the address bar after pressing a download button. A small spelling change, extra hyphen, unusual subdomain or redirect to an unrelated file-sharing site can be a warning sign. Do not rely on a logo alone; compare the app name, publisher, support details and destination together.
Where possible, compare a publisher-controlled website with a trusted app-store profile. A major conflict in the company name, contact method or app description deserves caution. Search results and forwarded social messages can help discovery, but they should not be treated as proof of an official source.
