Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew
1 ★I tried it liked it, but apps can be swiped off. The number is to limited. I bought the pro and used it a long time it worked great, but it no longer exists in Play and will not work my device where it was installed I used it instead of Samsung's Sidebar 😀. Once in a long while it would sleep but the limited # of apps lack of a lock for using this handed is not worth your time especially when you all the lack of side choice. If you want a similar app try another since the pro version a really good choice no longer exists
5 ★Blown away by both this and Switchr from the same developer. A perfect multitasking combination. Bought paid versions without a second thought to support the developer and have been enjoying ever since.
5 ★Please Dev add support for music playlists... I'd prefer a now playing list for a sidebar more than anything. If that is out of your reach then perhaps widget support? I know there's other apps but those aren't half as stable and frequently updated like yours.
3 ★Nice job but It would be nice you give the option add applications group with icon change so I don't need searche the application I need Like in the android programs button, like is the application now I can use it only for my favorites add groups pls
4 ★I like the way this works, very convenient. I would like to see the dialer widget for a single contact be able to be placed on the sidebar though, that would be really slick. It would also be nice if you could get to the shelf settings within the shelf.
3 ★Great application, but it has an irritating flaw. It appears the moment you even touch the hotspot, it should only appear if you swipe (not just touch).
4 ★This app is all I need. I can add apps to the launcher and have a full app drawer. All I wish is if I could hide some apps from the app drawer. I changed my phone and now I realize the crashings I encountered on my old phone were because of RAM limitation (1 GB of RAM) which Android was probably recycling and killing some app processes. Now with 2Gb of RAM works as expected. 5 stars !
5 ★Yeah. Simple cool and classy. Can be used anytime even if some other app is opened. Makes life easier and oh you have to get the pro version to turn off vibrations.
4 ★The only thing i am in need of is the back button. Part of my phone is cracked and i cant use my home, back and apps buttons. Two out of three is still winning.
3 ★Very convenient, but i accidentally swipe away apps when swiping from the side. If i could lock the apps so they couldn't be removed by accident, that would be worth 5 stars!
5 ★Some more customization options would be great. But even without the polishing it is extremely handy. Something like this should be a standard part of the operating system.
3 ★Nice work by developers but its irritating to have a notification tray icon all the times. This app deserves five stars if this notification is removed.
