Cartoon HD. Is this legal? Free app but looks v suspicious.

Fb link to this earlier.

Apparently it's an app that you normally pay for but for some reason is free ATM.

Lots of new DVD releases plus older cartoons/films etc...

I'm haunted by the age old 'if it's too good to be true, I probably is!'

What do you know mn?

I downloaded it a few days ago and watched some stuff. Now I have the fear my phone is going to be charged a million pounds for using it!

Can't link but there is another long thread about this.

It does feel a bit hmmmmmm doesn't it.

H is all 'it's from CHINA, think of the spy ware and people stealing all your information.' < dramatic >

Oh is there! Will look. Cheers.

I just seen this thread and had to comment.

This App got passed Apple by pretending to only stream legal content, it then started streaming illegal content once approved. once this was seen by Apple and Google they pulled it.

This App originates in china, someone has to keep servers running that stores these films for people to stream. Why would they bother to do that? they must be seeking to make money from the app.

There is no proof so far on if this App is doing anything wrong on your phone…yet, but think carefully, you will type credit card details into your phone (app store/play store) and you might have a banking app as well you would need to be crazy to have an app like this on your phone.

The people who make this app aren't doing it out of the kindness of their hearts, so think about what they might be after.

I have downloaded this "suspicious" app and saw that a movie Rock Dawg (or is it Rock Dog?) is available on the app and the movie is still in Theaters. Can you say piracy? Don't download it because if you do you're supporting crime.

I've been using this app for about 5 years. If it was illegal, surely it wouldn't be on the app store?

Sure.It Was illegal and thats the reason it has been shut down.But the app works fine till now.. tough the app is not available in playstores.
