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.

4 ★Great app
5 ★Brilliant job.Beautiful UI and easy navigation.This app rocks
5 ★Awesome job, love this app!!!
5 ★It's extremely easy & simple to use, small but efficient. Don't need anything more. Great app!
5 ★Just make sure that you change your password after you inevitably show your friends how cool this app is using their phones.
5 ★-- EDIT -- Dev responded to me directly and found the issue. Will be fixing soon. -- EDIT -- I think this is a great app in principle. It is clean and easy to use, and provides a great service for free. However, I found a bug that almost forced me to factory reset my Samsung GS3. I installed the app and wanted to test the lock function. I put in a custom password and turned it on. I then sent myself the custom text. It locked my phone, and I put in my password, which unlocked it. After half a second, it locked again, prompting the same password. The only way to keep it from locking was to continue pressing buttons. As soon as nothing was pressed, it would lock again. I changed my security preferences to "No lock security," but it still locked every second. I was about to factory reset my phone when I held the phone button which brought up the task manager. From there I was able to end aeGis's administrator access, which finally stopped the locking. I emailed the developer with my issue. Hopefully there is a solution. In the meantime, I am uninstalling the app.
4 ★If you could add option that received SMS on target phone doesn't show in incoming messages that would be awesome.
5 ★If you previously used Aegis and you open it later and you get prompted for a password next time you open the app, you can hour the back button to get around the password.
