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.

1 ★I downloaded the app. I signed up for the free trial annual subscription. It had no trouble performing that function, signed me up effortlessly. It's been two hours now and I can't access the magazine. I have conversed through email with the company but so far all of their efforts are not getting me a viewable version of my order on my apps. So, someone on staff manually entered my subscription, then I had to deleted the app and reinstall. Now the issues I ordered say they are downloaded but I can't view all of the pages. On some of the pages there is just a big grey bar that covers about 80% of the page that is supposed to be viewable. I hope I don't have trouble cancelling this because it is far too much trouble otherwise. I am really disappointed in this app.
1 ★Paid 3 times, never got more then the trial issue.
4 ★I discovered by going to the skeptic website that this is the official app for the magazine. Overall it has great functionality and I did not have any of the purchasing problems that other reviewers have had. 1 reviewer said that you have to pinch in and out, and this is true, this app does not have an easy read mode like the other magazines on Google Play. But for me personally I am so used to reading PDF documents on my iPhone that reading this on my Nexus 7 was great.
1 ★On a 7" screen the text is too small to read without zooming in. However, you can't turn the page without zooming back out. Reading an article becomes a tedious exercise of zoom in, scroll around the page, zoom back out and turn the page. This routine must be repeated on EVERY page.
3 ★I like how I always have a skeptic magazine in my pocket so I always have something interesting to read. It is a much better way of filling time than twitter or facebook. But it could be so much better: 1- Either increase the resolution of the scan or have the text in text form so it can scale to any size(My phone has a full hd screen and all the text is sharp but skeptic magazine is blurry) 2- Tap to zoom and horizontal scrolling should go the way of the dodo(please look at apps like currents and the verge) 3- If you implement text think about a dark theme(white text on black background) 4- Like another reviewer said: why not give acces to all editions?(I can only read one at a time and what does it matter which one I read?) 5- The articles themselves are as always beyond awesome.
5 ★Android has a very capable text-to-speach converter that. apps may hook into. This app needs to tap into that magic that's already on my phone and start reading to me while I'm driving. An example of an app where this is well implemented is Pocket (formerly Read-it-later). Also, a screenshot reader is not enough. It needs a text mode so text can be resized & reflowed.
1 ★The app works ok but the duplicitous marketing behind it is disgraceful. They suck you in, this team of sceptics and dishonest merchantmen to make you think that the sub is only annual payment for all the back issues but in fact it only gives you the current issue. You have to pay for any of the other issues. That is ok...I don't mind that but I would have liked to have been informed up front instead of paying my sixteen bucks for one issue. I only subscribed because I thought it was a bargain and that is precisely what they want you to think. Tricksters!!!...and this from a Sceptics magazine....is there some irony here? I urge all of you people on FB and sundry other sites to broadcast this message so we can help put a stop to such disgraceful marketing practices. Now the equally duplicitous Google wants us to join its losing Google + to write a review here. Is there no end to this nonsense where they want to capture every detail of any person they can get in their clutches? My one star means that I am far, far from being a happy customer!!!
5 ★Thanks to the negative reviews, I was prepared to be disappointed, particularly as I'd seen problems with the PlayBook version. But it works as advertised, fully functional including zoom, and speedy page turns.
1 ★Wqnt read preview issue but download is corrupt? Happy to change review if problem is fixed.
1 ★How in the hell are people supposed to make a decision to purchase your app based on a free preview that is illegible on a phone? Zoom disabled on the preview? What the hell are you supposed to preview then, the layout? You can keep it.
1 ★Yes, the app is free but you must obtain a paid subscription or buy individual issues. I purchased a subscription but only received one issue. It says I need to pay for the newer issues.
