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 ★Good info app. Very usefil. Well done.
3 ★This app was really good. But now buttons for earlier and later trains are missing? I used those ALL the time!
4 ★Great app. Props to the developer. However the latest version does have a nasty bug. When I look for trains from Brussels north to leuven, the schedule it shows me is completely wrong.
2 ★train delays are the most important thing when it comes to sncb, why did you take it away? can you please enable it again?
4 ★Un autre petit souci toutefois, dans cette mise a jour, après une recherche, il n'est pas aisée de visualiser les trains suivants ou précédents sans refaire une recherche explicite avec de nouveaux paramètres horaires. J'aimais mieux les petites flèches < ou > ....;) --- R: Effectivement, le review avait initialement été inséré avec l'appli Playstore sur Android !! < = '<' , > = '>'
5 ★Simple, intuitive, practical, loads quickly. No obtrusive ads. Wish all apps were this good.
4 ★Quite a good app to check up on departure times. Real-time display of delays is fast and accurate. One minor issue, though, is the fact that not all trains are listed. For example, the Brux-Antwerp line has about 10 trains per hour (at rush hour), while only 8 feature in the BeTrains list. Other than that, the app works fast and flawless.
4 ★I've been using this app for about 6 months and it's really good with accurate and up to the minute schedules. My only issue is that there's a widget as well, but when I try to add a route it suggests that I open the app and click on "add to widget", but I don't see that link anywhere. Apart from that it's really useful.
1 ★This app has always been one of my favorites, but recently it has become inaccurate, showing trains at wrong hours or trains that don't exist.. Please fix this
5 ★Surprisingly good for a product of the Belgian railway service! Straightforward, easy to use app that even shows the regular delays of trains.
1 ★Worst train app in Europe. Poorly thought out UI, poorly thought out functionality. Horrible.
1 ★Crashes on every startup
