Are Google Play apps safe?
Is it possible for Google Play apps to have malware or is just apps installed from third party sourceS?

Mostly dodgy 3rd parties, but there have been naughty malware apps that managed to bypass Google's 'stringent' ( 
) quality control.
I wouldn't install ANYTHING that doesn't have loads of up-to-date feedback/comments. If the only comment/review is 5 stars, avoid. It's the dev's mother.
I'd go into the security pitfalls of Android per se, but then I'd be fired, quartered and troll-shocked. If you don't need an app, don't get it.
