    sideloading makes it sound like something dangerous

    …according to whom? Who came up with this? If they called it “dangerloading” I’d be all on your side.

        Again I ask, how? There’s absolutely nothing in the name to suggest it is “dangerous” or “bad”.

        Tech illiterate people will not understand it at all.

          Go ask your mom who had to deal with your limewire phase in high-school if you can “sideload” apps on her phone.

          You want sources or something, what are you expecting dude?

            My Mom is far too old to know anything about Limewire.

            what are you expecting dude?

            Literally any sort of explanation why you think “sideload” = “dangerous”? Other than just repeating that it is over and over.

              Side loading makes it seems like it’s not going through the proper channels. You are loading it from the side while the play store is the right way.

                  Between hero and Sidekick, which do you think is better. Stop nitpicking and find someone else to fight with, you lout.
