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 ★Awesome app! So much features which is very handy for star gazing and night time photography.
5 ★The 2 most important things that effect my astrophotography sessions are darkness and clouds. The pro version of this overlays these both so that I can see if it is worth a short road trip to set up.
3 ★No functionality w/o premium. Very basic UI design. Has a light pollution map
5 ★Honestly this app has so much information! Its awesome. And I'm talking about on the free version
5 ★quite useful. a couple of dark areas I have visited for photography had darkness similar to this app info. hope there would be an opacity control on dark sky image overlay to see map and roads better for trip planning
3 ★Paid for the Pro upgrade (free isn't worth downloading). Currently the Aurora Overlay crashes the app. I have a Samsung S7 and I read another review stating the same problem on an S9. Contacted the company, haven't heard back.
2 ★Great tool for planning location for observation. However, I see way too many internet connections. I had to uninstall.
2 ★When I installed the app and opened, Its says to close the app for having lucky patcher when there is no lucky patcher on my phone
5 ★I live in the salt lake city area. And find the is to be very useful. because I didn't realize how far out I have to go to get away from the light to shoot the milky way.. definitely useful
5 ★A must-have! Incredibly useful for amateur astronomers.
5 ★I use the app a lot for milky way photography and it has never let me down. Would 100% recommend it to any photographer.
3 ★Pretty good. I rate thus 'cause I don't have the full package. Really revealing, wish it imaged more than visual light.
