Coin Master can be a reasonable install if you verify the app details first, but you should still check its permissions, package name, and developer before trusting any APK. An APK is an Android app file, and sideloading means installing it from outside the Play Store, so the usual store checks do not apply automatically.
Package: com.moonactive.coinmaster
Developer: Moon Active
Version: 3.5.2330
Size: 91.1 MB
1) Quick safety read before you install
APKDown lists Coin Master as a casual game from Moon Active, with a package name of com.moonactive.coinmaster. That package name is the app’s Android identifier, like a home address for the software. If the file you have shows a different package name, treat that as a warning sign and stop before installing.
The data also shows a source scan status: passed. That is a useful sign, but it does not mean every risk is gone. A scan can help spot obvious problems; it cannot promise perfect privacy or prove the app can never behave in ways you do not want.
The listed release data includes version 3.5.2330, a size of 91.1 MB, support for Android 6.0 and above, and 100M+ downloads on the site. Those are useful context points, not a guarantee of safety.
2) How to verify the package name and developer
Start with the package name. On the install screen, in your device settings, or in an app-details tool, look for com.moonactive.coinmaster. It should match exactly, including the dots and lowercase letters. Even a small difference matters, because a lookalike app can use a similar name while being a different package.
Next, check the developer name: Moon Active. The developer is the company or studio that publishes the app. If you see another name, or if the APK file was shared from an unknown source, pause and confirm the source before continuing. For extra confidence, compare the app page on APKDown with the details shown on your phone after installation.
You can also open the app listing on APKDown and compare the version, size, package name, and developer together. Matching details make it more likely you have the intended app file.
3) What the permissions mean in plain language
Android permissions are like keys you hand to an app. Some keys are normal for a game, while others deserve a second look. Coin Master requests the following permissions:
| Permission | Plain meaning | Why a game might use it |
|---|---|---|
| INTERNET | Lets the app connect online. | Needed for events, social features, updates, account sync, and game progress. |
| ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | Lets the app check if you are on Wi-Fi or mobile data. | Helps the game know when it can load content or connect to services. |
| ACCESS_WIFI_STATE | Lets the app see basic Wi-Fi status. | Useful for network checks and connection troubleshooting. |
| POST_NOTIFICATIONS | Lets the app send alerts to your phone. | Used for reminders, event notices, and promotions. |
| FOREGROUND_SERVICE | Allows the app to keep a small task running while you use the phone. | Can support ongoing network or notification-related work. |
| VIBRATE | Lets the app make the phone vibrate. | Used for taps, spins, and game feedback. |
| RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED | Lets the app start something after your phone restarts. | May help restore reminders or scheduled tasks. |
| READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE | Lets the app read files stored on your device. | Can be used for older Android file access patterns, screenshots, or saved content. |
| READ_CONTACTS | Lets the app read your contact list. | May be used for friend-finding or social features, but it deserves careful attention. |
| ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID | Lets ad systems use your advertising ID. | Helps measure ads and personalize advertising. |
| ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION | Helps measure where installs or actions came from. | Used for ad tracking and campaign reporting. |
| ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS | Lets ad systems infer general interest topics. | Used to show more relevant ads. |
4) Permissions that deserve extra attention
Three permissions stand out more than the others: READ_CONTACTS, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, and the ad-related permissions tied to advertising ID and ad measurement. Contacts access is sensitive because it can reveal names and phone numbers from your address book. A game may ask for it if you want to invite friends, but you should decide carefully whether that feature is worth sharing contact access.
Storage access also deserves attention because it can involve files on your phone. For a game, that is not always unusual, but it is still good practice to ask: does the app truly need to read files, or can you play without granting that access? If you do not see a clear reason, deny it and see whether the game still works normally.
The ad-related permissions are common in free apps, especially games. They do not usually mean the app can read your personal messages or photos, but they do mean the app may help ad systems measure and personalize ads. If privacy matters to you, this is a good place to review your settings after install.
5) What feels normal for a game, and what to question
For a social casual game, internet access, notification permission, vibration, and network-status checks are all fairly normal. They support play, reminders, and online events. That said, normal does not mean automatic. You still get to decide which features you want to use.
Questions are most reasonable around contacts and storage. If the app asks for access that does not match how you plan to use it, deny the permission first. Many apps keep working with fewer permissions, and you can add access later if you change your mind.
Think of permissions like handing out keys: give the game only the keys it actually needs, and keep the rest with you.
6) How to review or revoke permissions after install
If you already installed the app, you can check permissions in Android settings. Open Settings, then go to Apps or App management, select Coin Master, and open Permissions. From there, you can allow, deny, or change each item one by one.
If you want to remove access later, return to the same screen and revoke the permission. Android may also show a prompt if the app tries to use a permission again. That gives you another chance to refuse.
For notifications, you can also turn them off in the app’s notification settings if the alerts feel too frequent. For contacts or storage, check whether the game still works without them before deciding to keep them disabled.
7) A calm final check before you tap install
Before installing any APK, compare four things: the package name, the developer, the version, and the source scan status if available. For this app, the expected package is com.moonactive.coinmaster, the developer is Moon Active, and the scan status shown in the data is passed. That is a good starting point, but your own permission review still matters.
If the file you have matches the listing and the permissions make sense for how you plan to play, the install is easier to evaluate. If anything looks off, it is better to stop and recheck than to rush. A careful minute now can save you trouble later.
