Lel thats what i usually do first see the download and reviews

My method of determining whether app is fake or real :

1. Check how many downloads if below 100k Goto Step 3 

2. Check reviews of the app if there are a mixed number of reviews i goto the 3 step again

3. Check with many sites or search google Whether app is real or fake or ask in some forum or blog

Welcome also one thing you can do if u have a lot of important stuff on one phone, use another phone and download the app and see if it affects anything if it doesn't just download it on your main phone. ( Only if reviews cannot be found or some site says its scam some says its real )
