Hrishikesh Pathre
Hrishikesh writes the file side of bingo101apk.review: what a download button actually hands you, how big it is, and what Android will call it once it is installed.
Bingo 101, file by file
What he covers
- Where a button points. Whether it opens a store page, another page of adverts, or a file directly — and what kind of file.
- Size and date. A file's size on the day it was read, taken from what the server reports, so two downloads can be compared without trusting a label.
- Package names. The identifier Android keeps in App details, which survives any renaming of the title and differs whenever two apps merely share one.
- Versions, or their absence. When a publisher prints no version, he says so, and he does not borrow one from a catalogue.
He wrote the APK download guide, the new APK and old versions page and the bonus comparison.
How he works
He spent years behind a repair counter in Pune, where the most common fault brought in was not a broken screen but an app nobody remembered installing. That is where the habit comes from: before trusting a file, find out what it calls itself. On this site he opens every source from India without signing in, copies figures exactly as printed, and writes the date next to each one.
He does not download unknown files onto his own phone to test them, and he does not recommend that you do. Sizes and package names are read from the source and from public listings.
What he will not do
Send anyone a file, rate an app with stars, or present a catalogue's version number as the brand's. If a page is behind a bot check, he records that it could not be read rather than forcing it open.
