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.

User's Reivew

2 ★Several setting screens do not allow any way to navigate out except to close the app and reopen it. Should have an option to only display SOTA activity that could be a specified distance away for HF QRP and VHF and UHF spots
4 ★All appears to work well except the ability to sent via SMS. Phone on Android 7.1.1. When I try to select Gateway get message No SMS gateways so cannot chose an SMS number. The list appears on a .7.1.1 tablet but of course no phone service to use SMS.
5 ★Excellent
3 ★Unable to obtain location fix.. Oneplus1 lineageOS 7.1.2
5 ★Had some crashing with the latest version so reinstalled it no problems since. Love the notification feature!
4 ★Can't enter any text using google keyboard
5 ★Finds nearby summits, displays SPOTs from SOTAwatch, filters spots, sends spots via SMS or cell data, One easy to use APP that covers all the essentials. Must have SOTA APP. Terrific support by the developer.
5 ★This is a must have tool for any android SOTA activator. Two thumbs up to the developer!
4 ★The UI is nice and simple. I would love it if you could click a spot and see the summit location on a map.
4 ★Works well, the callsign spots have to be in CAPS, it took me a while to figure that out.
3 ★1. It needs a UTC clock or something
2 ★Installed on my Android 7 Moto Z. Was unable to set up filters and notifications so uninstalled it. Problem: after turning on mode filter the mode selections remained grayed out so was unable to select any.
