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.

User's Reivew

2 ★Doesn't work with authentication. Presumably the positive reviews are for guest access.
4 ★Very useful app if you have downloaded music cds to your phone
5 ★Connects to SMB and plays reliably
5 ★I have used this app for several years now and I especially like the caching and downloading function. So far, the only app, that seamlessly worked with my samba server. However, after the latest server upgrade the app stopped working. I found out it only supports SMBv1 / CIFS. Even after reactivating it on the server againt all security advice, authentication keeps failing. Since SMBv1 is deprecated for years, I would like to ask, if it would be possible to use the newest jcifs-ng or smbj library for the app to support newer SMB protocols.
5 ★Excellent app for played ripped CD music to headphones whilst out running. Not used it for accessing network storage so can't comment on that. Works well with remote control via Bluetooth headphones or Bluetooth smart watch.
1 ★App would not let me get past NAS drive login so useless. Oh bye the way I do not enable password saving as the kids will wreck the drive so I know my login details Very welll.
5 ★I have 3 NAS all are different makes. My Cloud, Simple Share and Dlink. This player found them all immediately. I just wish it would cast to ChomeCast Audio. It would be perfect then.
1 ★Player nice minimalist - exactly what I'm looking for. But it only supports smb V1 and therefore cannot find servers with smb V2/3 - > no longer up-to-date. So I'll keep looking...
4 ★This app has almost everything I was looking for and I don't ask for much. I haven't seen any ads yet, so that's good. It can access SMB shared folders, but only SMB v1, not v2, so I had to allow both SMB v1 and v2 in my SMB server, so that's bit concerning on my SMB server. It's easy to add to a playlist, but I wish there was a way to create and manage multiple playlists. Other than that, I am very happy with this app. I'll give 5 star once multiple playlist feature is added.
4 ★This tool is amazing, however I'd like to have the capability to select an entire folder instead of single audio files. When you have a huge amount of music, organized by several sub categories (sub folders), is a pain surf each and every folder to add songs to the playlist. Also, it would be great if we might have the option of saving several playlists.
5 ★Excellent, immediately located my music library on the NAS drive, easy to navigate the folder structure and really attractive interface. Impressive.
1 ★not much info to connect to the network and once done, no pathway to the player itself. An exercise in self absorption on the part of the developer.
