Verdict up front: this app’s listing states plainly: “No Financial Transactions.” Its own store screenshots advertise “TRANSPARENT PAYOUTS, NO FEES”, sell computing power for $1.99, and display an indicative earnings figure of 100.03 BTC. It has no reviews at all.
BitCoin Cloud Mining is published by Get Set. On the day we checked it showed 1,000+ downloads, ads and in-app purchases, no star rating and no written reviews whatsoever. It is filed under Tools and was last updated on 13 August 2026.
The sentence that cannot be true
Under a heading called “Compliance and Security Statement”, the listing says:
From the store listing
“No Financial Transactions: This application is solely a tool for leasing and managing cloud computing resources. It does not provide any cryptocurrency trading, investment advice, or speculative services.”
Three paragraphs earlier the same listing offers “a variety of packages from entry-level to professional”. Three paragraphs later it publishes an “Earnings Disclaimer” explaining that “actual earnings are affected by market fluctuations”.
Packages are sold. Earnings are disclaimed. Whatever “no financial transactions” is describing, it is not this app.
The screenshots say the opposite of the text
The store gallery is where the real pitch lives, and it is not hedged at all. The panels read:
- “FIRST CRYPTO IN A FEW HOURS — TRANSPARENT PAYOUTS, NO FEES”
- “START WITH A FREE MINER — JUST TAP AND MINE”
- “1700H/s +1700H/s More Computing Power — Just $1.99”
- An account screen showing “Indicative Earnings 100.0375667606” BTC
Sit with the last one. One hundred bitcoin is a figure in the millions of dollars at any price the coin has held in years. It appears on a marketing screenshot for an app selling hashrate at $1.99 a step, in a listing that elsewhere insists it offers no speculative services.
“Indicative” is carrying an extraordinary amount of weight there.
A thousand installs and not one review
This is the detail that should stop anybody from installing it. A thousand people have downloaded this app. Not one of them has left a star rating or written a sentence about it.
That is unusual to the point of being informative. Apps that take money generate reviews, because payment creates opinions. An install base with no reviews at all usually means one of two things: the installs are not people, or the app prompts nobody to rate it because it would rather not be rated.
Either way, there is no user experience available to you. You would be the first person on record to find out what happens after the $1.99.
Filed in the wrong aisle
The app is categorised under Tools, not Finance. It is a Bitcoin mining platform that sells packages and shows earnings, sitting in the same category as file managers and torch apps.
That is not a clerical slip. Finance apps attract a heavier compliance review on Play, and appear in searches where users are primed to check credentials. Tools is quieter. We have now seen three apps in this vertical filed under Tools, Events and Business.
The data declaration
Data safety states the app “may collect these data types: Location, Personal info and 4 others” and that “Data can’t be deleted”.
Your location and your personal information, collected by an operator you cannot identify, with no route to have any of it erased. In the UK and the EU the right to erasure is not optional; an app that declares up front that it will not honour it is telling you exactly how seriously it takes the rest.
What is actually on offer
Strip the compliance language out and the proposition is: hand over your location and personal details to an unnamed operator, pay $1.99 at a time for numbers that go up, and rely on a payout promise printed on a marketing image by a developer called Get Set with no track record, no reviews and no published address.
- Zero reviews on a thousand installs is a warning, not a blank slate.
- Read the store screenshots as claims. “Transparent payouts, no fees” is a promise, and it is checkable only after you pay.
- An app that says it handles no financial transactions while selling packages is misdescribing itself. Stop there.
- Check the category. A mining app filed under Tools has chosen a quieter shelf.
- “Data can’t be deleted” means exactly that. Do not give it anything you would want back.
If you have already bought computing power
Request a refund through Google Play while the purchase is recent, and check the Subscriptions screen in Play in case the charge recurs. Do not add more hashrate to reach a payout — a threshold that moves is the mechanism. Screenshot your balance, the purchase and the withdrawal screen, then report it at IC3.gov. Reporting is free and it is how patterns like this get traced.
