Even if it is noticed that an application has few reviews or very few downloads, it could be assumed to be relatively new. On the other hand, it could be a fake application designed to harm anyone who installs it.

• Search the application and company on the internet: Most legitimate developers will have a website displaying all the features of the application and any other applications they have developed.
• Read available app reviews: If they seem short and uninformative, it is not safe to download that application. Additionally, there may be reviews from users who have been deceived by the application.
• Pay attention to details: Does the application look professional? Good design indicates a good application. Pay attention to inconsistencies in fonts, typing errors, and asymmetric placement of logos and images.
• Many fake applications are copies of existing popular applications: It is useful to look at who is behind the application and whether it matches the application. Pay attention to the number of reviews - extremely popular applications will have hundreds, if not thousands, of user reviews.
