AppXpose vs TapMap

AppXpose is an Android privacy scanner that shows you what the apps on

your phone actually do — not what their store listing claims.

I built it after reading study after study (Mozilla, Oxford, PETS) showing

that Play Store privacy labels often don't match real app behavior — and

realizing there was no tool regular people could use to check. Everything

that existed was built for security researchers.

So AppXpose analyzes the APK itself: static bytecode analysis, directly on

your device — no app code ever gets uploaded. It detects hidden tracker

SDKs (170+ signatures from Exodus Privacy plus our own research), dangerous

or out-of-place permissions, repackaged and fake APKs, and cross-checks

against malware and breach databases. Every finding is evidence-based: if

AppXpose says an app contains a tracker, that tracker was found in the

code — not estimated from metadata. An AI summary translates the findings

into plain language.

The detection engine improves through community discovery: unknown SDK

signatures found across devices get confirmed and synced daily, no app

update needed.

Free on Google Play, with an optional GUARD tier that adds daily background

monitoring — alerts when an installed app gains dangerous permissions,

changes its signing certificate, or adds new trackers.

Solo-built. A year ago I was working in a factory; today AppXpose has

2,000+ installs and a 4.6★ rating.

Swipe through a deck of places picked for your taste, budget, distance, time of day and opening hours, save the ones you like into your own maps, and share those maps with friends or publish them for everyone.
