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 ★This app duplicates some older apps, Gmote and RemoteDroid. I have tried these two on a desktop machine with dual monitors and both have the same bug - the cursor just slides up and down one side of the screen. This app, to its credit, doesn't have the bug. Gmote showed that you could have more than just mouse/keyboard control though. It would start a media player on the server machine and stream music and video to your device if you wanted. This is broken for my desktop's software as well. It would be a dream come true if the VirtualControl devs could make this happen also (particularly VLC for Linux).
1 ★Although this app MIGHT work, the sending of the APK file is impossible! When it loads the screen for sending, it is H*U*G*E and I can't select Bluetooth, mail or similar, I can only select Dropbox and Drive (becuase other options are off the screen) and even when I select a possible option, it fails to upload the APK. Even if you try installing the apk trough web browser and use it via WIFI, the controls are extremely robust and unpleasant to work with. Uninstalling...
1 ★Poor instructions cant get help will not download a functional file. Usless if I cant install the drivers
4 ★This is a simple mouse and keyboard app which is exactly what I wanted. Its like the old Gmote app. And I can connect via wifi or bluetooth. Just got the app so 4 stars for not finding any bugs yet, pending.
4 ★Can't get right click to work in some clients witch I find weird. But works good for a windows 8 tablet!
5 ★Good
5 ★I like this app I can use mobile as mouse. Thanks
1 ★will not send that VPC_whatever.zip file over bluetooth instead sends downloadmanager.apk
5 ★We need to make it easyer
3 ★Think good
