There are only 8 apps for Pokki right now, but they all look totally amazing.

Reka · Feb 2014

A potentially dangerous app... A lot of weblinks denounce it on Google, but they are insane too (they suggest installing anti-malwares like Spyhunter, but it has too a very bad reputation).
My disk has reached 100% all the time when I used it. Don't install it...

pokki is perfectly fine. when you aren't using it you can put it in sleep mode.
pokki does not install malware and you dont have to use its apps. however if you don't plan to use the pokki apps there are better alternatives.
if you are thinking its a bad program think about this. its not really any different than the chrome web browser in terms of what it does with its loading.
