Cons
Con Link provided not working.
I've utilized 3 of these "Best Alternatives Appstores" lists and everytime "Mobogenie" redirects to an Ads page stating that "link not working."
Con Unwanted apps get installed on device
There have been reports of users seeing apps they have not personally allowed on the device getting installed without their permission.
Con Upload function not working
Con Mobogenie is a trojan
It also has a windows program which is also a trojan / virus.
Con Difficult to install on non LG devices
The app will have to be side-loaded unofficially as the website (where the install file can be downloaded) only recognizes specific LG devices. Places such as XDA Forums may have the .apk listed for those who would like to find it.
Con Lacking content
There are only 8 themes left. No longer has a wide selection. Lg phones are dying
Con Only works 100 percent on LG devices
Not all apps will be available for users on devices other than an LG, especially the LG device specific themes. This can be an issue for those who would like to see their device themed more like an LG device, or for those who wish to use LG specific apps on a non LG device.
Con In Korean on some phones
The Korean version of the app is installed on some phones.
Con Greedy
Con Garbage
Get better elsewhere.
