You can crack most apps using Lucky Patcher
Make sure you get it from the official website though
Looks like the luckypatcher.com and .info are both terribly spammy. Even with pureapk the download ended up being something called bluejay. Of course the play store chimed in and said installing it would be a horrible idea. I assume I just picked 3 fake sites to download from
Luckypatchers.com is the real one.
Also you should avoid pureapk, it has malware.
I recommend sticking to apkmirror if the application is available there.
Ublock Origin kicks up repeated warnings for this.
Show screenshot.
Not even virustotal finds anything wrong with the domain.
Not quite a screen shot, but the text:
uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading:
https://cinsiant.com/click.php?key=sdgenth8ykrtaggbahqp&SUB_ID_SHORT=2f5ea9466c8aea0b3ee7906baf3d35fb&PLACEMENT_ID=20528585&CAMPAIGN_ID=888169&PUBLISHER_ID=1192695&ZONE_ID=2935357
Because of the following filter:
/click.php?key=*&zone_id=$document Found in:
uBlock filters – Badware risks
The warnings pop up and hitting proceed shows scammy fake virus scans and such. To make it clear, it's not luckypatchers itself, but the dodgy full screen ads on load.
Is your Ublock Origins & lists updated fully and configured right? Because Ublock Origins is supposed to be blocking the malvertisements from being shown at all.
At least it does for me on Firefox-nightly & Mull.
Yep, all up to date. UBO gives me the option to proceed (= show) the dodgy ads. Maybe something to do with my settings that it doesn't block those outright. It's a useful option for when I'm using cashback sites that I can temporarily grant tracking links.
Lucky Patcher is Android only.
Also, you should really consider getting an adblocker because the entire web is covered with malvertisements.
Even YouTube has scam ads & malvertisements.
Thank you, and yes pureapk is a trash site.
Is that true? Most of the time I tried it didn't work.
It has only worked for me with an old game called Nimble Quest so far 😂
Try different things in the selection dialogue before patching.
If you have root you could install Modded Google Play in Lucky Patcher to automatically succeed License checks
Mods also exist to crack apps, Mobilism is a good site but be careful what you download from whom
Thanks, I'll check that out :)
Nice to see this app still strong.
It's works, but it's much more effective on a rooted device.
My device is rooted :/
TIL, I'm going to have to check this out later for sure
I'm having a hard time finding the actual lucky patcher. Was it at .com or .info or something else? Please help
This should be the real one: https://www.luckypatchers.com/
Beware fake download ads though (I've never seen any of those, but people without uBlock might)
Accessing that from my phone shows the actual site content for about 3 seconds and then an endless array of "popup and notification blocked messages" as well as the usual combination of "oh noes your PC has three dangerous viruses click here to resolve" type redirects.
Is this just a cunning way to weed out the normies or can I expect the same kind of thing from their allegedly-excellent app? Because they're not leaving a good impression right now.
Yeah, that IS the real one, it seems. It asks for random package name, and it immediately installed as an LSPosed module.
The app is adfree and not spammy. Can't talk about the Website though, I haven't browsed the internet without good content blockers for the last decade
Chrome mobile put up a pretty good fight. I have been meaning to put Firefox + ublock on my phone, maybe I'll stop being slack and finally do it today.
