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 ★It's the best.👌
5 ★A geologist pointed me in the direction of Rockd, I have found this the most useful app basically for everything I do rockhounding. I feel that I have mentioned the more than 100 times in my posted and comments online, reaching thousands of people. If you had a T-shirt I would wear it daily...LoL Great app!!! Only thing better would be a visual link to rock identification pictures...
5 ★Also includes a brunton compass program for recording strike-dip / trend-plunge And includes a paleo map that is preset to the age of the bedrock the app locates you on
5 ★Perfect integration of geologic maps around the world, instead of downloading hundreds of kml or kmz files on Google Earth, which some I might not even be able to find, they are all in one place!
5 ★This is a great app, and I should use it more than I do! It's fun to go out on a hike and have data on the local geology and the Earth's history right at your fingertips. Great little tools like the compass are cool as well.
4 ★Great idea, well done! Needs an off line version. Some of the best geology out west has no cell signal.
5 ★Love this app! As a geologist I highly recommend it to find local and regional geology. It would be great to add a public land layer so folks know where they can rockhound legally!
1 ★Uninstalled after 3 attempts. Unable to locate my location?? Really? Sorry one star.
5 ★Great app. Beats dragging an assortment of geologic hardcopy maps into the field. Works very well in most cases.
5 ★Excellent
