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.

User's Reivew

1 ★This *was* an outstanding application. Then it stopped providing a picture (at least on my Samsung). An app with the word "picture" in its title that no longer provides an actual picture is worthless.

1 ★The app was the best, but now it is broken. I miss the feature that auto changed the wallpaper. I will update the review to 5 stars when the app gets fixed.

1 ★This was my favorite app for years. Always the first one I downloaded after buying a new device. This latest update made it no longer compatible with Android and I'm incredibly bummed. Do you plan on fixing that?

4 ★Great app right up til android did its last update a week ago... App needs a update in order to download new pictures... Until then only the past ones are available. Can set one of those manually.

2 ★I love this app when it is working. It was being slow to post the latest photos but now there arn't ANY photos! So what's the point? Reinstalling did not change anything.

1 ★App did not receive an update to fix the blank/gray images for months.

1 ★Doesn't work on OnePlus 6. Please fix this now! I've been using app for few years on Samsung S7. This app should work on the latest smartphones but only works on older phones!

3 ★EDIT: I've had to drop my rating because multiple times now, I've discovered this app keeping a wakelock ALL DAY long. I'm not sure what it even needs to hold a wakelock for, but it's obviously not properly releasing the wakelock. I've tried out every APOD app on the Play Store and this is the overall best one. It has a dark theme, it has daily notifications, it saves images in full quality to it's own directory, and there's a nifty feature to auto-set wallpaper if you want. I just wish we could set the violet/magenta action bar color to something else (I'd prefer gray or black).

1 ★Was great, a 5* app, but is now terrible. Used to work brilliantly, but for about a month now will not download any images.

1 ★Won't show photos anymore! I've had this installed for my young grandson, future astronomer, and it was wonderful till about 6 weeks ago when all the images are black screen! Uninstalled sadly......PLEASE fix

1 ★This was a very good app , changing my background daily however, this needs updating to work with the new version of Android as it no longer works.

2 ★Too bad that it stopped working. It was great and I used the automatic wallpaper feature for many years.
