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

5 ★Hi Dev, Pls make this app for Android TV too. Iam missing this app on the TV. Thank you so much for this keyboard.

5 ★Does exactly what it says, just add a paste button for faster copy and paste, please

5 ★Simple Keyboard is a great app. Yes, it is as simple as it gets but, that is exactly what I needed to replace the "Gboard". The switch easy and the whole time not one advertisement. Well done and thank you.

4 ★I love the keyboard but you can add english dictionary for right spelling. Thankyou

5 ★Back to Simple Keyboard. Update (4.15.20) I went back to BlackBerry keyboard. I could not get used to Simple Keyboards layout. So four stars because it is good, but not for me. Great keyboard! I left BlackBerry keyboard for this. I can still use emoticons through my texting app (Textra). Many thanks to the dev. [ I would love it if you could choose to have a BlackBerry style keyboard option. ]

5 ★Nice app in less mb i really like this keyboard app.

5 ★Takes 5 minutes to set up. Does its job nothing more and nothing less.

5 ★Nice! This is actually super good for low device. Like sometimes my keyboard doesn't show when im using my regular phone keyboard or other keyboard that has a lot of features that i dont much need but thanks to this keyboard now i can type without having a lag!!!

4 ★Its almost perfect but Languages are very limited. try adding some Japanese, Korean or even baybayin. It will make this keyboard twice as popular

5 ★It's good, i've been using it for quite a while now, and it's light, but can you add emoji? Or it'll ruin the size? If you can please add it, that's all, overall i've been satisfied using this, thanks! Edit: i've just read the descriptions and i saw that it'll never have emoji's, that's sad but, still gonna use this!

5 ★Google's Gboard was so incredibly laggy i had real problems typing with it. About 20% of the time it would acknowledge the spacebar. 80% of the time it wouldn't. This Simple Keyboard types with no resistance, and it is simple to setup for use. Love this keyboard on Pixel 4a

4 ★I enjoy using simple keyboard but it's not all I need, yet while using it as my main english keyboard and having a satisfaying experince it's not as satisfaying in other languages. Besides english, I use Turkish and Persian. Persian is more satisfaying than turkish cause it has all the alphabet charachters needed but lacks @ and # which is usable and I need to swich keyboard to eng for it. Turkish keyboard is totally useless 'Ğüışöç' which are part of everyday turkish are not present and needed.
