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
3 ★Was working well over 2 years until 10/10/2020. For some odd reason i am now unable to print email app (bluemail) - even from gmail, yahoo mail. "Fail to print. Retry" is what pops up soon as click print icon. However, I am able to print pdf, from gallery (screenshots, whatsapp images). This is why it's strange. I even uninstall , install , reboot , clear data , clear cache ... still the same. I just can't print emails. The pdf in emails were fine, as it's using pdf app to open, i can print.
1 ★no sign of a printer ... ed: 6 months later, completely ignored by Brother.. in fact 3 or 4 other plugins ALL print to brother. The ONE that wont is THE BROTHER made one. Still no peep from them.. guess who cares about their customers..? well it isn't Brother. Next 6 printers we get will NOT be brother.. WiFi flakey like crazy. (using non-brother plugins only, the Brother isnt flakey, it's just USELESS! - like their support)
1 ★Just horrible. Just locks for five minutes and then refuses to send anything to my DCP-J4120DW printer from my S20 phone. Why is printing such an ordeal in 2021? This stuff should be simple.
1 ★Cant print from my LG phone now . worked about 4/5 weeks ago and not now . uninstalled and re installed app and still wont work. This sucks I need to print some inportant papers now.....
4 ★Plugin is good but we need an option to "print in grayscale/black ink only" I have to use my pc because that option is not available.
2 ★It stopped printing from my phone and I cannot get why it's not available when it's ON and WiFi is working at my home. When printing from a computer, it often doesn't print at start, so I have to run troubleshooting which doesn't find any errors, however after that the printer starts printing. Following printing the same day is fine, however another day I have to make it by working by running troubleshooting that is strange
1 ★Edit:11/12/20 re-installed Brother iPrint & Scan instead of this! Make sure settings>Printers>Edit Printer-Protocol is "IPP" instead of "IPPS". Worse printer service plugin! What was wrong with the iPrint & Scan from Brother? Why can't it find the same printer connected to the same router? Why should it matter it is connected to same radio (5ghz/or not). It has the same IP and Mac address!! Whoever developed this at Brother should have at least benchmarked it with their own iPrint &Scan!
5 ★I love this app I use it all the time my husband is a truck driver I get all his. Loads sent at home and most are printed out by my phone its an very easy process thanks mary
3 ★Seems to me it works fine for printing stuff using the print menu item (usually available in apps like pdf viewers, word processor etc). However, it doesn't connect to the printer if the android device is not in the same subnet, even though the printer is registered with the correct IP and is reachable (setup page is displayed in Chrome). This a big problem for those who have multiple subnets at home or try to connect using VPN. Interestingly enough the iprint app does not have this limitation (but it's a strange app). -------- Please allow connection to a printer by IP only, regardless of the subnet it belongs to. ----- 3 stars (the fourth is waiting)
1 ★Would love to upload a photo of the printer being found but not being able to connect. Critical part of the app that needs fixing
2 ★Makes you go through hoops to be able to print. First you need to find it within settings (mine was under connections>more connection settings>printing). Then, with your printer on and connected to the same network, you need to open it and search for your printer. Once this finds your printer (if you're lucky!), you need to switch (don't close this, SWITCH) to whatever app you were trying to get a print out of and select your printer. Terrible experience, even worse functionality.
1 ★You have to jump through hoops to get it to print from the phone. Very poor printer. Will never buy Brother again.
