3. What the Service does

The main functions of the Service are as follows.

• Saving the installation file (APK) of an installed app to your device's Downloads folder or to a folder you have chosen in Settings
• Bundling the files to be saved into a single compressed file (zip) and sharing it with an app you choose

For an app installed as several separate installation files, those files are saved together as a single .apks file. The app list covers apps that have an icon on the home screen, and some system components without a home screen icon may not be shown.

Viewing app information and extracting files take place on your device, and the app list and extracted files are not sent to the Operator's servers. The Service can be used without an account or sign-in.
