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 ★Programmers have given up. I paid for it the permanent license, and used it fine for a few years but now it says it's not compatible with my phone. Samsung, g such a rare brand. I think these programmers have just walked away.
1 ★When I got this app, there was no pro version. Now that there's a pro version, some features in the app are now disabled and I must buy the pro version to get them back. This is called the "bait and switch" scam. The developer is a scammer and should be jailed. I UN-installed this app because I will not be scammed.
5 ★Works really well. I too had the problem unable to connect to camera when I changed my phone. But removed app and reinstalled and works really well.
1 ★Installed on new galaxy note 20. " "Device camera error 5. Impossible to connect to camera." Sad. I loved this app. RIP.
5 ★So far working great. Exactly what I need for a bit of rough surveying.
3 ★Pls add reticle at center to determine exact point aiming..
5 ★With map you know exact location if had distance range finder would be better. It out proforms competition.
5 ★Great simple app. Excellent correction when tilted.
5 ★👍
5 ★It does what it says. Its extremely easy to use and read. My only criticism would be that it's hard to see small objects on the screen but that's to be expected. Otherwise it's excellent.
