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.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

3 ★Please allow the option to choose our own story files from the sdcard. This would be especially useful for the Infocom classics which are not included in the archive. Then this would be the best IF engine on the market.
3 ★Worked great on my Galaxy S4, however it crashes on immediately on my Galaxy S6 Active. If this is fixed, I will return my score to 5/5.
5 ★I periodically try all the IF games and interpreters on the market, and ZMPP is consistently the best interpreter for Android. No more to say, really.
3 ★ZMPP does not work as of Android Lollipop and is no longer being developed.
3 ★It force closes each time I try to open it. I have tried uninstalling and installing, clearing the cache and data, etc. Nothing works. Will rate 5 stars if I can use it again
5 ★I'm new to the Interactive-Fiction world, and this app has been nothing but helpful. The perfect enabler ;)
4 ★At last I can play blorb games on my phone. Unfortunately the lack of a scroll function makes it a little less enjoyable to use than Twisty. Fix this and allow it to detect games on ad card and I'd give it 5 stars.
1 ★Very sad, I would love to play my old IF games on my phone.
5 ★Great app. I'll gladly pay for no ads and a couple more features.
3 ★Needs a way to load other files that I have on my phone. I had some .z files from a while ago that I would like to use. Will be 5 star after that!
1 ★Won't stop crashing right when I open the app. Horrible and not worth the time
1 ★It crashes after I load any game, suddenly.
