We added general improvements and fixed a few bugs.
How to install VA: Health and Benefits APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download VA: Health and Benefits APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (gov.va.mobileapp-v2.32.0-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
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.

3 ★I love this idea. I'm glad there's gonna be an easier way to access important documentation without having to sign into a computer or laptop. There are definitely a lot of bugs to fix though, I shouldn't have to keep going into my app to sign in and verifying myself via email or text, after I've been gone for 15 secs. Also I can't put my address in so that I can access/download my VA letters and documents. So please fix this asap, cause I know tons of Veterans that can benefit from this! 👌👍
3 ★So far so good, but I'm wondering why refilling prescriptions is not the main feature of the current version of the app, not a future feature. I use the web based access for four reasons; Prescription Refills, Lab Results (Blue Button Medical Reports), Appointments, and Secure Messaging. The app appears to only offer 2 of those features. For me the first two are the most important
2 ★It took all day to get logged in, and I still have minimal access to my healthcare. Getting IDs verified is broken, verifying by credit is how I went, and the buttons for that don't work well, it had me going round and round, downloading verification apps and I did everything about ten times before it stuck. Very frustrating!
2 ★This review is for this app on a Samsung S7 Edge running Android 8.0.0. I have a hard time logging in with my password because the keyboard covers the box for my password. I can't see what I'm typing in the password box. I have to enter my password and then touch the top of the screen to see the box and then click 'Show' to see if I got it right. Because of the very small keyboard I get it right about half the time. The fingerprint option is great but most of the time it doesn't show.
3 ★It's good. It's what we expect for a gov't app. Simple UI, efficient design, but not easy to use unless you know exactly what information you need. I would like to be able to seperate the disability award amount from the effective date. I don't need to show EVERYONE how much income I have (some people might, I don't). I didn't even see the date info (at first) because it was obscured in the income section. I had ignored that section because income wasn't vital to the business I had at hand.
5 ★Ok, so far: Love the sign in options, the biometrics are a huge time saver over the 2 step verification. Smooth operation, a little slow on startup but nice smooth operation from there forward. Giving you 5 stars for this alone. We asked for an app, you listened. That's very refreshing. Suggestions: Make ratings viewable, maybe on our profile tab? Search bar. Interactive calendar for appointments. The appointment tab is helpful, but a calendar we can add 3rd party appointments would help.
1 ★It took me twenty minutes to find a route that allowed me to log in. My opinion of VA care has plummeted recently. I have to scan my fingerprint to open the app then have two step verification again with the various options to log in. The Gov login requested pictures of my ID then wouldn't accept perfectly clear pictures of the type of ID they require. Keep going Congress. Open up more and more claims for benefits to look good when you can't even take care of the ones you already have.
1 ★What a poor, slow, buggy app! I am sure the poorly run federal government way over paid for this lackluster app! The login is needlessly slow. There is no way to save credentials so login time may be minimized. The screen login fields do not allow scrolling to get to the password field. There is an immediate request for a rating so as to illicit immediate, positive feedback. Just another shameful creation that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars of the taxpayers money. Not very customizable. F
2 ★the app works just like the VA does. Meaning It does occasionally work it's awesome, and when it doesn't, you're waiting for 6 months for it to get fixed. but hey, they added a handy phone number banner so you can call someone while you consider offing yourself in the parking lot, so that's great👍
3 ★Other than having to log in again after using my fingerprint to unlock the app the newest versions of this are quite good. You even get notifications of your messages. I just wish when you clicked on the message it actually took you to the message itself, as the web page is poorly formatted. Great dark theme. Dropping one star as I still have to log in after using my fingerprint to unlock the app. Will drop again if not fixed in the next update.
1 ★Just like tge VA to take a perfectly working app and turn it into an app that you cannot use. I guess the two step authentication that was working, wasn't good enough, allowing users to actually engage your information. Now you can't even get on, wants third party authentication, it doesn't work. Uninstall is my vote.....way to go!!!!
3 ★Have only used this app a couple times so far. Once I get logged in it seems just as functional as the web page with more covienience. The problems so far have been the logging in part. Several redirect issues, slow connection and a few errors. If those issues could be addressed I think this would be a five star app.
