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.

1 ★Absolutely love this on the Nexus player, however, I got all excited for Android M and upgraded but xbmc launcher no longer worked, so had to downgrade back to Lollipop. I will be changing this to 5* as soon as it's up and running with Marshmallow. Any time frame for that? Or should it work and I'm just doing something wrong? Thanks again!
4 ★Just bought a MyGica media player today and its default launcher is an impossible-to-configure eyesore. Since I plan to just run XMBC 95% of the time anyway...this was a nice find. Only thing it's missing is a way to run the occasional other app for that 5% when I do want to (edit: found it).
3 ★All works great on boot but I can't find a way to get back out should I need to, the program settings do not work for me from kodi. Running shield andriod tv and kodi 15
5 ★Works great just what I have been looking for access all apps in programs. Thank you :-))
4 ★Have a problem in that I need to quit xbmc and let the launcher restart before the audio video streaming will work properly..
1 ★Installed with Kodi 15.1 latest official release. I get a black screen now, nothing happens. What the heck do you do now, can't get to any menus to uninstall!
4 ★Does the job. Got it setup on shield TV. Not quite sure how to shutdown the device from kodi now though. Any ideas?
1 ★Had to reset my phone as it took control and I couldn't get off of Kodi
