Teemo Apps

We got a request to add detection for Teemo / Databerries, after a article about them on Numerama. They seem to be a very invasive location tracking service.

We thought it would be interesting to provide a look at the Android apps with Teemo that we found in our database. We found a total of 40 apps, of which 16 did not seem to use Teemo anymore. The other 26 still do (based on our data of 26 August 2017). These 26 apps can be found in the table below.

Signal360 Android apps

We came across a article on Ars Technica, which details a (class action) lawsuit that was filed against the Golden State Warriors, Signal360 and developer Yinzcam, because of their usage of the Signal360 SDK. This SDK includes beaconing technology that uses audio beacons (besides other means). Doing so, the lawsuit claims, makes the app listen constantly to it’s environment using the microphone, which leads to privacy concerns.

We thought it would be interesting to do a bit of research into which apps are using this Signal360 SDK, so we took a look at our database and found the following 11 apps.

We see a lot of Yinzcam apps (look at the package), so that explains why the people behind the lawsuit are going after Yinzcam. Fruther a few foreign apps, from Italy and Peru. Download counts are way higher then the SilverPush apps we researched earlier, and more apps are from the US, making it more relevant.

SilverPush Android Apps

Ars Technica had a nice post about TV ads that use inaudible audio beacons to perform cross-device tracking. A rather scary development. One of the companies mentioned was SilverPush. We added detection of this SDK (and the other ones) to Addons Detector and took a look in our database to see what kind of apps are using SilverPush. We found 27 unique apps, almost 50% of the 67 apps mentioned in the Ars Technica article. We thought it would be interesting to share them.

Most of them are focused on India, which is where SilverPush seems to be based. From the 27 apps, 11 were not to be found anymore on Google Play. So we are left with 16 live apps. From these 16 live apps, 5 top apps only used SilverPush in the past, their latest version doesn’t have the SDK anymore. So we are left with a few apps that have 100.000+ downloads, and the other ones having less downloads. We generated a simple report with some Google Play metadata, and sorted the apps based on download count. This data is presented below.

If you are in need of similar reports for specific SDKs with extended metadata, contact us! It’s what we do.
