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
1 ★Big security problem...when I swipe right to open camera from lock screen and return back then lock opens automatically...no pattern required to unlock I wasn't expecting this from such a big developer
4 ★Its very good app.. I lov it But lik to suggest one That it can only apply one single customize wallpaper., if we can add multiple customize wallpaper which can change automatically than i'll be giving 5star
4 ★Please make a One-Tap checkbox for using saved patterns etc to lock. Currently have to click many times and enter Patten twice every time to enable. Not to mention the e-mail reminder I decline every time.
5 ★I really love this lock app! Partnered with Microsoft Launcher so awesome! The daily update pictures from BING to both apps really great! Both are very simple, full of personalization, great UI! Both new Microsoft apps are really, really great! Kudos to the developers! Expecting more from you guys... Thank you...
3 ★When I pause my music player song that is wynk but after I restart it starts the song from starting. I mean it not work pause and play
4 ★I like most of the lock screen pictures. I also like the NFL part of the sports choices. Keeping up with the score of all the teams makes it easy to keep track of the road to the playoffs. I just wish this app had college football as well.
3 ★after tha 7.0 update my xperia xa ultra weather update and my location in lockscreen is show wrong plese fix this this problem.
5 ★Very nice !but i still have one wish, to have a nice complementing number/keypad when entering pin just like what they have in next™ lockscreen! And i will give you 6 stars lol😘
4 ★I really like the design and the way the notifications are sorted. Iny opinion this is the best lock screen app out there. The only improvement I would suggest is the ability to customize the clock. It is a bit too small in my opinion.
3 ★A good lock screen app, almost perfect for me, except the bellow bugs 1. My device has a fingerprint scanner, when the screen is locked and on, it cannot be unlocked using the fingerprint scanner. 2. From screen off, when the device is unlocked using fingerprint scanner, the lock screen is display for a fraction of a second before moving to the home screen.
5 ★I have been using this for a long time now, over two years, the app is really good but sad to see that it hasn't been getting any more features.
3 ★I like it but when I flip to my lock screen number pad after this my phone turns off half a second after making it to the number pad and I only get to type in my password without it turning off a third of the time. I know this is caused by the app
