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.

5 ★I had spent an amazing morning skating with my kids and somehow when I got home all the pics and.video I took were gone. I downloaded sd rescan, ran it once, and everything came back!!!! I am so happy...best app ever!!
5 ★The gallery in both Jelly Beans is crap. It doesn't update until you restart the phone. This didn't help at first but now its working after a day of use. Clear your recent apps before you run this and it will work.
1 ★This fails on startup every single time. (Was hoping this would fix my problem of computer not recognizing new files on connected tablet without rebooting tablet; Yes to MTP, all that jazz. Used to work fine, but trouble ever since having to factory reset tablet a few weeks ago.)
5 ★I have a Chinese book app, and I downloaded some Chinese book files. After connecting my Nexus 7 to my PC, I open the "book" folder to back up, but the book files are no where to be found. I have 2 android devices, and the other one does not have the same problem. After trying for hours, I finally followed a recommendation that I have seen in one of the forum and downloaded this “SDrescan” app. WOW, in 2 seconds, THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED!!!
4 ★Running CM10 4.1.2 on Samsung S2x and the program appears to get stuck on "Preparing...". However if you wait a few minutes, eventually the app will finish and the gallery thumbnails, mp3s, etc will be indexed. Edit: after rebooting the phone, the "Scanning SD card..." screen shows properly!
3 ★Essential if you're copying data in non-standard ways like rsync. Nagging pop-ups a bit annoying tho
5 ★I love this app but i hate that my phone is having trouble with rescanning the SD Card almost everytime i download something new to it. Today, i looked in my gallery and saw no Pictures nor Videos because of recently downloading 1 video. I ran this app and after several minutes of it scanning (like 3 to 6 minutes because there's a lot to scan on my SD Card lol), i saw all of my Pictures and Videos back in my Gallery again. It works for me so i love it! It's small and simple and doesn't take up much space!
3 ★Problem on my Audio/Sound files, I've refreshed many times and still showing my old file name, even no use on reboot. I did patience on the refreshing, but anyway, not work for me. Thanks.
5 ★Awesome app. Does exactly what it says on the tin. My gallery not refreshing has been driving me to despair until I used this!
5 ★I don't usually review, but I just wanted to say thanks- couldn't find some pictures, ran and then they were there! Thanks a bunch :) HTC inspire
5 ★Had to delete a thumbnail for music files and I thought I deleted all my music and photo files which didn't show, now everything is back to normal with this brilliant App... Thank you.
5 ★This app saved my htc music app as it wasn't able to see the music on my sd card for some reason. Worth downloading and I recommend it to everyone to use when apps just don't see the files on your sd card.
