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.

5 ★Loved this, now I need friends to read with.
5 ★Seems fantastic. I'll edit my rating once I actually use it
1 ★Wouldn't even open
5 ★amazing
5 ★I really like being able to pull up articles and information about theauthor and book. It's also nice to be able to have a book club even ifevery member lives in a different place.
4 ★I would like to read and join chat groups around the world . I don't havefriends who like reading. It would've been nice to the discuss these bookswith people from other places with the same interest.
4 ★I like this app but the reason I wanted to do a book club online is so Icould do it with other people I don't know, my friends hate reading and noone will read a book with me and create a book club. I was hoping this appwould let me request a book club and have a section for people to lookthrough each book the club submitted so they could join if they wanted to.
3 ★There's a serious lag. I'll start typing and have to wait for the app to catch up.
4 ★I like all my apps or i wouldnt have downloaded
3 ★I keep getting repeated emails of the same notifications
5 ★Reading with our kids at night disappeared by middle school (+ when they got their IPhones). But this is a cool app that I use with my teens when I want them to read a particular subject matter (healthy eating, college admissions process, mental training for athletes, etc.). Or when I want to read what they've been assigned. They read on their own terms (bus rides to games, etc) & we "discuss" material even in the midst of our chaotic lives. When book is finished, they're rewarded with dinner out or movie with friends. Everybody wins!
5 ★Fun way to share reading a book.
