No, only if the app gets complaints will people look at it.

The best tip is to only download apps that already have over 2,000 or so people that have downloaded it. This will insure other people havent had problems with it. Also dont download apps that have foreign language, or crappy english in the description.

The reason I asked is because I heard that Google Market has malware in some of the apps. And these apps asked for permissions that make your head scratch. A newbie to android can be compromised if not aware of security basics.

Thanks for replying sitlet
