---Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)---
Q. I've got a quad core device. Why don't I see all four cores being used?
A. Android tries to optimise the CPU usage, by shutting down cores when they're not needed. Your phone will rarely use all 4 cores. Try downloading a CPU Stress Test app, and you'll see the four cores then :)
---Permissions---
+ SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW - Required to create a system-wide overlay for the monitor on edge of screen
+ RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - Required for the auto-start feature
+ INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - Used for error reporting, and anonymous usage reporting using Google Analytics.

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
4 ★It's a fun app to have, gives your device a really pro look. I believe any comments on its actual utility are pointless, but the only thing I wish is that it had an option to run as a foreground service (invisible notification would be even better), so it doesn't get killed often on low-memory devices. Other than this, awesome!
3 ★While the app is good for what it is, I found support from the author to be lacking. I've sent three emails trying to get help with a minor but recurring problem and not once did I get a response.Otherwise a five star program.
5 ★This is by far my favorite CPU monitoring app. I only had the trial for an hour before I went pro. I just upgraded my S II Skyrocket to CyanogenMod 10.1 (4.2) today and for some reason the monitor doesn't show on the home screen. It only shows if you open an app or the system settings etc. Hope this gets fixed soon!
3 ★Wish it was precentage insted of barely visible bars. I can barely see my 2nd cpu usage.
3 ★Handy app for letting you know how busy your phone processor. But saying that on huawei y300 with jellybean 4.1.1 it keeps disappearing spending more time restarting possibly due to the phone only sporting half gig of ram.
5 ★I've been using this app for years, on Droid 2, and now Droid 4, and I LOVE it! I would totally buy it if it had these two options: A setting to add a 1 pixel gap between the multi-core's bars, and a color setting that would go from green to yellow to red as it moved across, so you can more easily visualize the load on each core. I definitely recommend this app to anyone who wants to know why their phone isn't responding, or wants to be aware of high cpu loads, for tuning and optimization, as well as the coolness factor!
4 ★It absolutely needs a feature to show the average load. I don't care that it briefly spiked to 100%. I want to see what the average is over the last 30 seconds. The way it works at the moment, it's only somewhat useful. Also, 50px is still too wide to my taste. Would be better if I could just type a number.
5 ★One consequence of upgrading to a device with 4x the resolution of an older one is that useful little apps like Micro CPU Monitor nearly disappear on it. Single-pixel height is unfortunately too small to see on my LG G3. But this is an excellent app nonetheless, and I highly recommend it.
5 ★Hey developers the app is great except its too expensive to buy! Would pay 1 dollars to 50cents not three dollars though :( . Great app thanks devs.
2 ★can't speak intelligently on level of accuracy,but does make notable display. not very mindful. loves taking naps!!! constantly have to re-start
5 ★Shows all CPU cores and doesn't kill the battery. Handy to have running so that you can tell when a process is stuck in a 100% CPU usage loop! Enough customization options on the free version, but actually considering paying for the pro version 😎
5 ★The latest update with multi-core support & adjustable height makes this an AWESOME app. I went Pro because of it. Set to 2 pixels high & 100 pixels wide it's perfect on my ASUS TF101. How about making another app exactly like this one that shows CPU frequencies? I would go Pro with it too.
