03 How do I install the APK?

04 Is the download safe?

Files are served by an established third-party mirror and are the same builds distributed to Play Store users; APK Rewind never repackages or modifies them. Check the developer name (MediaNews Group, Inc.) and package name (com.spreedinc.providers.californianewspaperpartnership.sanjosemercurynews) match what you expect.
