Hi,

got a new tablet, a "Lenovo Idea Tab 11" (8GB 128GB) - Luna Grey + Pen"

I'm examining the preinstalled apps. One of them is:


Phone Tracker: Phone Locator
QR Code Scanner.
Contains ads

Three times I tried, three times the tablet rebooted, just after showing 
the initial advert. When I managed to found it in Google Play, it said 
the installation was not managed by GP, but that I could replace it. So 
I uninstalled, reinstalled, opened, reboot.

Uninstall for ever. Reported.

Curious kind of app, though. Seems to be designed to track the location 
of kids, or family members, with agreement.

Cheers, Carlos.
