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
1 ★Waste of time, don't even bothering to evaluate. Clunky connection UI that resets fields on rotation. Overlay UI during connection is finicky, requires precision, and can block parts of your desktop. In my experience using this to connect to a Tight VNC server, it simply stops responding after a few minutes. Before it craps out, it's unusably slow.
5 ★Hello, I love your app, but do you think it would be possible to add ultravnc encryption support? As in I cannot connect to ultravnc servers that use the encryption plugin. These servers are also behind a ultravnc repeater if that has anything to do with it?
2 ★I go error Java.io EOFException when connect to VNC over ssh using ssh key.
5 ★Great app. Don't be fooled by the brutalist UI. Works better than most. May I suggest to hide the local pointer when using view-only mode?
5 ★I have never seen a more useful app. Firstly, NO ADS. Second, it just works. Such a cool and easy to use application. Love it! Will be going pro!
4 ★great app except scaling which is a bit off (it leaves quite a lot of real estate in 20:9 screens like redmi note 9 pro, maybe a stretching option could be useful for some)
4 ★WAY better app than VNC Viewer. Allows to set screen size to match host output, ssh tunnel options, can minimize controls. Just looks and works better for me.
5 ★Showed exactly what caused the problem and how to deal with while other apps just told me incompatible security.
5 ★Doesn't seem to support any color depths between 8 and 1 bits for ultravnc servers. They all look like 8bit. Please fix. From manual: -8bit, -256colors, -64colors, -8colors, -8greycolors, -4greycolors, -2greycolors
4 ★I would buy the pro version, but this app seems in need of a refresh. The UI is dated, it doesn't support newer eliptical ssh keys, and you have to completely recreate a connection to wipe known_hosts.
5 ★Pretty good. The theme could be nicer but it does everything I want. Thank you for making this open source!
3 ★Works but doesn't properly transmit keyboard commands when using it in DEX. Makes using keyboard shortcuts in Blender on my desktop impossible.
