⚠️ Security Analysis of the NewCatroid Mod
Hi everyone, I recently tested the NewCatroid mod, a modified version of Pocket Code, and noticed it requests several unusual permissions — including access to internet, Bluetooth, camera, and location — even for basic tasks like adding sprites or sounds.
These permissions raised concerns about privacy and data security, especially since there’s no clear explanation for why the mod needs access to such sensitive features.
❗ Important: I’m not claiming the mod contains malware, but I do recommend caution. If you decide to use it, check the permissions manually and scan the app with a trusted antivirus.
As an alternative, I’ve been using Turbowarp, which is based on Scratch, runs faster, and doesn’t require suspicious permissions. It also has an active community and advanced features.
If anyone has technical insights into NewCatroid’s behavior, feel free to share. Staying safe is a shared responsibility
