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 ★Good job! I especially like the fact that it turns off the background data processing when I'm not using the app
5 ★so far i am quite 😊 w/the trial version of this app.
5 ★This app is perfect for me. It is simple and easy to use which is a hug bonus on the road. It isn't clutter but at the same time is very customizable. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wants and needs a reliable car Widget.
5 ★Ever wanted an app to do just what you need. Well look no further. I have used a lot of driving apps but this one is by far the smooth operator around here.
4 ★The easiest and simplest so far
5 ★Does what it is supposed to do. Easy layout for access to music and navigation while driving
5 ★Very convenient safe!
5 ★I've been using this widget for a couple of years now, and it is one of the first things I install when I get a new device or when I do a factory reset. I also recommend it to my friends and family. Does what you need, and the dev just keeps going to support and improve it.
5 ★Roadtrip perfect!
1 ★Ok, so this is a trail, which expired and is asking me to pay money. It seems very well written, the problem is that I can't work out what it actually does. It gives you one screen of shortcuts... but how are they different to a normal home screen with shortcuts? I was hoping it would be the main screen when I was in my car so if I hit Home etc it would go to that...but no, it still goes to my normal homescreen. Would be happy to pay a few bucks if I could work out what it actually did.
5 ★My parents don't really know how to use their smart phones, so I used this app to have large shortcuts for them and streamline their experience with the bare necessities. Highly recommend for older or inexperienced android users, and for in the car.
3 ★I LOVE the fact that it's not an application but a widget instead, very good idea, BUT I wish there was an internal SMS message reader for instance as there is one in "Ultimate Car Dock" app. Very annoying to have to use yet another app for this.
