Actually, App Store apps are way safer, and you can debate it all you want, but they are. First coz of sandboxing, and then there are just a few instances of 'bad' apps on app store compared to play store. Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way pro-iOS, I use both iOS and Android.
But as a developer even I can see that google doesn't review any app that I send, and Apple reviews them all. Of course, apple can slip and make a mistake. But getting a bad app on play store is like 10000000000000 times easier then on app store.
