Android App Breaking T-Mobile G1?

A new app called MemoryUp Personal is getting a lot of attention from the G1 community at the moment, for all the wrong reasons.

It seems that the app is ‘ a handy memory optimiser tool to keep your Android smartphone running faster and efficiently,’ yet does its job a bit too well and has the potential to wipe your entire handset’s memory.

With over 1,000 ratings, some G1 owners’ experiences with the app has made for pretty damning reviews! Users like “kr33p1n” reported, “Doesn’t work at all erased my phone numbers and froze my phone,” whilst others have said it works fine but the problem is with the phone’s own hardware.

Either way, this issue raises the problem of a lack of restrictions or testing process in the Android Market. For every 10 developers allowed to exercise their freedom and create great applications, there may be one who makes an app that wipes all my data and contacts.

That is one app too many.

I haven’t decided whether or not to check this app for myself, as I have grown quite attached to the personal data on my SD card, but judging by those reviews MemoryUp is more trouble than it’s worth.
