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 ★Best HN reader I've tried yet. Had one time where the app constantly crashed on launch, but was resolved by re-installing
3 ★I like this app but it has started crashing immediately every time it launches, so I am unable to use it.
5 ★Awesome! It would be cool to see the number of comments of each post next to its date too :D
4 ★I really like the feel of this app, and it's lightweight, however every time I open an article I get "Unable to load article", while the comments load fine. How can I make it work?
4 ★This app is lovely for browsing Hacker News. You can't submit or comment, but that's not a problem for me. The app itself is very easy to use, and it's beautiful! I would give it 5 stars if it had a night mode or dark theme.
5 ★Super clean, works perfectly, and is only the bare features for reading articles and threaded comments. Don't expect to post or vote, though.
3 ★Apparently you can't authenticate with your HN account in this one. Works well if you want to lurk, but not if you want to participate.
5 ★Better than all the rest.
1 ★Fails to load
