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.

4 ★app does not remember saved settings...
5 ★This is a wonderful app. Thank you so much for making this available to all sentient beings. I also agree that the motivational pop ups could last a little longer as well as have an on/off option. :o)
5 ★I love this app, the only thing i would like to see is the message it displays after the app is closed to show longer. Some of them are a little too long to read before they disappear.
4 ★Good app to have if you want a daily reminder of the Dhamma; however, I had to reinstall the app to see if this would correct the problem with the date setting always being off a day despite correctly setting it in the "settings."
5 ★Nice selection of verses. Thanks for this app. The popup message upon closing app could remain a bit longer to make reading it easier.
5 ★Great app! Well thought of, the bell is a nice touch as well.
4 ★Please add an option of turning off "hug your mom" etc. messages
5 ★A daily reminder is indeed useful. Thanks Shifu. :)
5 ★Great app, great reminders!
5 ★The best app ever
5 ★A simple, great, and useful app. Thank you :)
3 ★Good app for your daily fix ..
