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
3 ★I do like this lock screen and I have used it for quite a while. Howeveronce I upgraded to Oreo it stopped working correctly. I see that others areexperiencing the same issues. Hope this can be fixed soon, would give it 5stars then.
4 ★It's a very good lock screen. But I have one problem with it. I have Xiaomi mi mix 2, and I can't unlock next lock screen with fingerprint. Please help me I want this app so bad
4 ★just downloaded this app after years of using GoLocker because I never gotaround to finding a new one. So far I'm liking this far better, the onlything is that I wish there wasn't the option to dismiss notificationsentirely because often I only want to remove the notifications from onlythe lockscreen because otherwise I'll forget about them entirely when Iunlock my phone, so maybe make that an option and I'll be happy with that :)
3 ★For some reason, it's not showing up before the system lock, which makes itbasically useless. It's too bad, because it looked pretty good otherwise.Please fix. Also, could you please add the ability to select more than onelocal image as the background and have them cycle through on each viewingof the lock screen? It's a pretty basic feature that would be muchappreciated.
4 ★I love this app. The only thing is the screen lock. It seems to be toooosensitive. I stay on the home WiFi and it will not make me enter pin onetime then next time I have to enter the pin?
3 ★Overwrites your phone's screen timeout setting, even when power save is notenabled. So annoying, and it needs to be fixed ASAP.
2 ★How do you use this alongside system fingerprints? Do you need twolockscreens - system and Next - to do this? Seems like an unfortunateworkaround if so. I do really like the UI though, it's a lovely screen.
5 ★I only came here to rate this application which I do very rarely. Itdeserves 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 -No ads. -Simple to use (great UI). -Microsft isreliable. -The beautiful Bing wallpapers which keep changing everyday. -Thecompact status bar.
3 ★Not able to select apps to use on screen lock. Wanted it for my kids phoneto allow text and voice only. Couldn't allow either only camera.
1 ★Complicated lock screen, too many things to change right away on the start(had to delete a lot of apps from the lock screen screan), and LOCKS myscreen IMMEDIATELY with password even though I've set 30 minutes BEFORErequiring password.
4 ★Almost perfect! Neat, clean ui, classy, no ads. Just the best. Only oneissue.. Doesn't hide the notification content. Its the most important partto work on. Please do that and there's nothing stopping it.
4 ★It's a great-looking lockscreen and I like the option of having the shortcut at the bottom on the left hand side, the only problem I have I'm not able to contact Next because none of the feedback tools work from within the app. Update: Still like the app but I'm getting an issue where my email keeps lighting up my screen but there's no new email. It's like it is on a reminder timer. Still unable to submit feedback within the app.
