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 ★Useful
4 ★So far so good. Just wondering, is there a feature for offline use? In a disaster situation I imagine wifi and cell connection could be down for awhile.
4 ★I couldn't select my home region when I installed the App. Solution was to close the App then reopen it. Initially I uninstalled the App assuming the App wasn't useful if the initial setting couldn't be selected. Seems to be working now. This could be a very useful App, I just hope I don't need it while travelling in Japan. (Hoping no safety issues arise) - Edit: changed review from one star to four and added this review description.
3 ★Overall it's okay. But the app is putting out so many warnings, that you're about to ignore them. This desensitizes users. Also usability: Why does opening the warning popup not directly bring the user to the warning itself but instead first "open" the list of warnings and then choose the warning. Also the map is not really usable since the built-in webbrowser thinks I want to scroll an iframe instead of scrolling or zooming the map.
1 ★Just gives an error when I try to select "country of origin".
5 ★So far, the app has worked well. Set up was easy and the information provided (how the alert systems work, translations for help, detailed history of previous events, etc) is useful and thorough. Hopefully we'll never have to "use" the app, but I'm reassured that I have a go-to resource should we ever need it.
1 ★Thank you for your response but unfortunately I uninstalled, reinstalled, made sure internet was on whether mobile or wifi and still get the same error message. Do you have any other ideas?
5 ★English users only, a must have if visiting Japan, all my friends love it and incorporates all the best yurekuru features If your coming even for just a weekend you need this
3 ★1. Please remove trackers such as Google Firebase Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics. Or make it optional or for a payment. Having to block trackers in this app on DNS / firewall level sucks. 2. Please update the app to Material You design. As many apps here in Japan, it looks dates and so bloated. No need to throw everything at once, relevant info should be easily accessible and not among other features. 3. Why this app needs Get accounts permission?
1 ★Not working. Same problem about not being able to select language and country of origin.
