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

5 ★Brilliant

3 ★Can you please fix a spelling mistake in the text that gets put in the body of the email when sharing Slashdot article with friends via Gmail - thanks!

5 ★Simple, reliable Slashdot reader. Using it for months with no problem whatsoever.

2 ★There is certain basic functionality that i'd expect from any useful slashdot reader: ability to filter comments based on moderation rating (yes); offline caching (yes); view a comment thread, which is often necessary for context (no); way to remove articles i don't care about or am finished with, i.e. a kill filter (no). Any other features are gravy. To be fair, there is no slashdot reader available that does _not_ lack basic functionality by my standards. But lack of a better choice doesn't make this one useful.

5 ★5 star app. Not a battery pig. Pulls from Slashdot seemlessly. I have one request: the link/highlight color is a difficult to read blue color. I would like a way to change the link color to something easier to read. Thank you.

2 ★Every few times I try to scroll up or down the comments section, it triggers the next or previous article. There is far too little horizontal movement required to swipe between articles. For that reason I will not use this app until this issue is fixed

1 ★They won't disable swiping by default each new update adds more bugs

5 ★This app has all of the features to allow you to easily read slashdot articles. I love the swiping features as well as the background color changer.

5 ★Needs a couple of minor changes which I emailed the developer about. Very stable

4 ★It doesn't refresh on open. Works fine otherwise.

5 ★I've used about 3 other Slashdot readers and this one is the best by far. I like that closing the app doesn't clear the feed. This way I can go back to read something later if I had to put my phone away. They always tell you what's being updated and ask for opinions before implementing them. There's so many good thing about this app I don't even have enough space to type it all out. Anything less than 4 stars is a troll.

5 ★Very good reader, best slashot reader by far. The only slight issue I have is the sensitivety of the article swiping. It's too easy to accidentally do it while scrolling. Though obviously it can be disabled Edit: this issue has been changed since the last update. Phenominal app
