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.

5 ★All good. Great product and app
3 ★Android app alarm is almost inaudible. I have been using this for many years, and just learned how to set the anchor alarm--by reading the detailed instructions only the for iOS app! I would like to use the alarm on the phone near me when I sleep at anchor, but the alrm sound is a single beep and 3 vibrations. NOT LOUD ENOUGH!. I seem to remember the under weigh alarm for nearby vessels being a loud ship's horn sound. How do I get a louder anchor alarm on the Phone?
1 ★Not possible to remotely monitor ais or nema 2000 data. Dont waste money on the xb 800 it can only LOCALLY monitor your ais and nema data. If you have any need to remotely monitor your vesel info this will not work. Just buy the vesper cortex dont be an idiot like me.
4 ★Great app but I Uninstalled it after it repeatedly shut down. My phone says it has a bug.
1 ★Another company that just doesn't take their responsibility to their customers seriously. Firmware update does not work. When you enable automatic updates, the app crashes on startup. I won't be purchasing any more Vesper Marine products, and will be telling all of my fellow mariners to avoid the company at all costs.
3 ★Unable to update. I press the update button, the status bar goes to 99%, and then the update fails. Every time.
1 ★Installed, but won open only Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite Tab. Why...??.?.
1 ★Come on Vesper, your Android app is terrible compared to your IOS app. A simple example is firmware updates. The Android app gives no feedback about install status and even if the current firmware is up to date. Just a big red "Update" button that looks like it does nothing when you press it. It's almost like a professional developer worked on IOS and the Android app was a "Learn to Program 101" project.
4 ★There was a bit of a learning curve trying to figure out how to get the wjfi connection to work, but once I figured out that "not connected to Wi-Fi " really means "not connected to internet" and ignored the warning the connection has worked well. The portability is very handy. I have do have a question though ... my AWS reading sometimes shows a small s or small p next to the degrees for wind angle. What do those symbols mean? Okay, got it. P for Port, S for Starboard! Thanks!
5 ★Edit:::: Working perfectly for a while now, forgot to come back and update the rating.
