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.

1 ★Im having issuse first im using my tablet when i activate it it just to small i couldnt tooch it properly and second you need a more bottons and third there should be an option that i cant resize the bottons and move them whenever i whant to put them and fourth there is also one when there where an option that i could move it and why is it only at the bottom and why i can only move them at the center of both side botton and when i moved theme the only thing work the way where they both started
4 ★So sometimes when I press the notification the gamepad controls dont appear i did everything right to! Please fix it!
3 ★Well it's great but can you fix the size of the dpad and adjust it more? It will be better if you adjust it... Because when ever I played the undyne fight.. It doesn't Actually move when.. I'm trying to... Make my move.. Can you please fix this.. :(
1 ★I tried to press the buttons but it wont enter the game, like others im also playing undertale, and its not working i keep pressing on it for many times. i already input A as enter and etc. But it wont let me enter the game pls fix this i was really excited to play it but i cant because of this problem
3 ★I like the app. Its very useful and it works great. My only issue is how small it is. It's difficult to use sometimes because it's small. It would be nice if the d-pad was bigger.
3 ★the gamepad won't show up when I click the gamepad notification at notification bar.. And it's happened a lot.. Pls fix it
4 ★Very useful for games that you can't play when your using your fingers it's helping me play games and stuff but can you please fix this glichy it keeps making the key pad go away and I have to reinstall it but it is very nice great job
1 ★I thought I could use this as an alternative to an Xinput controller so I could play xCloud without needing a controller. I was wrong.
2 ★To be honest, it does what It dose but it needs some more customization and better inputs. As it is its very jankey and weird to use when playing certian games. The d-pad is VERY picky at inputs and could use some touching up.
3 ★I have 2 things to say, please add a joystick option, if not, an option for adjusting the size THIS SENTIENT FISH KNOWN AS UNDYNE IS HARD WITH THE SMALL D PAD
5 ★I like this app! I can play Undertale and Inktale because of this. But my problem is sometimes the controllers are sometimes disappearing and because of that, I always die when I battle Ink.
2 ★I would love to give this app a better rating, but the sheer frustration of trying to get it to consistently work doesn't really make that easy. That is the biggest problem- the keyboard is pretty good, and the gamepad, while I would like it to have more buttons, and a higher button margin for the d-pad, it does the job. But I will spend 3-5 minutes just getting it to work, for it to fail to start at all a minute later. I am sorry for the bad review, but this app has caused me much frustration.
