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
1 ★Works inconsistently. It's horrible when switching languages. Switching languages has to be done manually. Doesn't put periods or commas when dictating. Annoyingly improper autocorrect feature. While improved on grammer, the basics are still needed to be fixed. I often type instead of using voice recognition. Seems like several years ago, the app was more robust in recognizing different languages.
2 ★Better Annunciation than the previous version. Very difficult to get the male voice set and to make it stay. The new update causes the same text to be read over and over again until you dismiss the app that's using it entirely. It will immediately start reading the same thing over and there really isn't any way to stop it even when you hit pause or try to turn it off it just keeps going until you backout of everything and find the app and swipe it out of recents.
1 ★This app has cost me so much battery. As you can see by all the other reviews it has decided to "wait for network" for DAYS trying to upload. I finalpy got it to go away by restarting my phone only for it to pop back up. Everytime I tried to "cancel" the update it would freeze up. I uninstalled it and then redownloaded the updates and for now.... Fingers crossed.... It hasn't messed up again.
1 ★Bad update. Don't like the new interface. They took away the X at the top right of the box and switched it to an arrow on the left. So annoying! Also since the text engine is so bad when you say words like 'are' what you end up getting is 'AR'. Used to be that you could tap on that misspelled word and they would give you options to correct it. No longer so! What in the heck are you putting this out for when it is incomplete and almost unusable? I uninstalled all updates
2 ★Half the time, using speech to text stops working, or what I say is delayed by about 30 seconds or more. When I go to clean the cache, the cache is empty. Other times, I am speaking in English, and it types in Spanish. There no instructions anywhere on how to fix these issues. Half the time, the app Miss understands what I say and types the wrong words or stops before I'm finished saying three words. Very annoyed!
1 ★I've Uninstalled it half a dozen times. It just shows up the next day and does the forever down load. It also wants me to enter my password for a hidden folder. Not sure how that's relevant. Maybe if we all give it 1 star, the developer will fix the constant down load issue. I give up, but there's my one star. Want a higher rating? Fix the issue every one seems to be having.
1 ★Update I wish there was a way to roll back to an older versions that actually works. It put words together that is not used together in the English language. I've been using this for a long time but, I have a one+ 6, the voice recognition is horrible on the new version. It types the word correctly but then it changes it to something that does not make sense in a sentence. Changes words like "bet" to "said", "in" to "and"
1 ★Talk about a persistent annoyance. Like many others, this keeps trying to update itself, but can't find a network connection when everything what on my phone can. However, there are more really sketchy layers to this. I've disabled it no less than 3 times and it re-enables itself a couple days later. Second, I reviewed this a couple/ few days ago about the problem at that point and now I can't find/ edit it. Something is seriously up and now I suspect it's *NOT* some simple, but annoying bug.
1 ★The constant microphone cut-off after the first word of your sentences, it is so freaking annoying. Having to constantly hit the microphone button just so I can say what I need to say, absolutely infuriating!! Word recognition is better than Samsung's, but overall, this app needs a MAJOR fix. It's been like this for as long as I can remember. Please fix it so that microphone will actually stay on!!!!
2 ★Feels like every time you update you mess it up more. Over the last month or so, it's been dictating a whole sentence, and then "correcting it" down to like the last three words. Also the accents aren't working now, again. The British English voices sound the best on my e-reader, but they don't work when this is updated. I've been having to uninstall the updates to get it to work for the last week.
1 ★This app was good but now it sucks. First, they moved the back arrow. Then they got rid of the word correction options which requires you to use the back arrow to get back to the keyboard way more frequently. Next there is something wrong with the app where it hangs up and doesn't let your phone screen go black oh, so it will run your battery dead if you don't pay attention. Finally, about two out of three times that you use it you can say one word and then it shuts itself off.
4 ★Just like many others have stated, there was a hang up in updating the app. It said it was waiting for a connection despite the phone being connected to both wifi and mobile data. After a couple of weeks dealing with an annoying notification, I just Uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. It apparently worked, but should not have been necessary. Google please debug your updates BEFORE sending them out. Thank you.
