Store listing

Full description

APPropriate separates your phone's important content from the phone itself, letting you view or edit your data anywhere, on any Android device, with no internet connection required. Using APPropriate and its accompanying hardware module, a borrowed phone temporarily becomes your own, showing your own photos, contacts and messages. APPropriate does not need internet access or a data connection, and is completely free, with no adverts and no unnecessary permissions. The app is open-source as part of the Digital Inclusion toolkit – see: https://github.com/reshaping-the-future/appropriate For more information about the Digital Inclusion toolkit and related research project, see: http://www.digitalinclusiontoolkit.org/ and http://www.reshapingthefuture.org/
