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 ★yes I do know my stuff, and if I had an interest in developing an app for Aurora Borealis locations and viewing I would do it. But my interest is mainly in following Google developer guidelines using modern systems and ways to develop an app and using an up-to-date permissions model.but I'm trying to help you I'm not trying to hurt you rather than insult me just make the changes that everyone wishes that you would make and your app would be a lot better and more usable and more download it then all of the other Aurora apps out there. My Aurora Forecast - Aurora Alerts Northern Lights: that app is a good example of how to allow users to enter in a specific area as opposed to demanding that they always have their phone location on tap, completely unnecessary. Ya, about location permission for weather info: I use Weather Underground and it does not require location permission at all, I can put it in the ZIP code or I can give it location permission. I choose to give it location permission, but Weather Underground and in fact no other weather app including Weather Underground crashes because you decide not to give it permission for location. No you are wrong ,your app does not need permission for location in order to run properly. as a matter of fact many complain that your app won't work alongside other weather apps when it should. There's no reason why it can't. The OK button you speak of in order to get rid of the green transparency KP definition does not exist. And because of the way the permissions are being asked the old Lolipoo security model , to stay active in the developer Community you're going to need to start using the marshmallow/nougat permissions API. No one will argue that an app that is using an old security permissions model won't run in nougat that isn't the argument the argument is you using an old permissions model and that's enough to get you kicked out of the developer Community especially if you're going to try to do it do anything in oreo, you're actually going to have to commit to using the more modern permissions model so you might as well get used to it and do it now. I didn't say I was getting any errors I said it fails in nougat. App crashes if you don't allow location permission. We don't need to give it permission we should be able to enter in a zip code or what three words location at any point at any time. I might not care if there's a world Borealis activity near me I might want to know where is occurring at some other location so I should not have to give the app permission to always know where my phone is. When I do allow location permission they have doesn't crash but it just hangs on this weird white letters on green transparency covering the actual app and there's no way to close that whatever it is window.
1 ★Some functions don't work others are not accurate. When I updated, the pro version was gone. Be careful
5 ★Great app. Information is very good. Having paid for the upgrade version I found some of the features didn't work, such as widgets. However I uninstalled and reinstalled. That has fixed everything.
1 ★I upgraded to the paid version and it seemed to work fine. Then almost daily the features that come with the pay version wouldn't be there and I would be offered a chance to upgrade to the paid version. Don't waste your money
1 ★It sucks; I paid for pro & had it for a short time but it disappeared. I emailed the support people & they fixed it for a short time & then it started telling me I don't have the pro version again. Addendum: I did try to get help with the app a second time and no one ever responded.
5 ★Great!
5 ★Excellent source of data, location specific.
4 ★Good
5 ★Compare to other free app, it is really good. But I don not know how to pay for the pro version bacause it it always claiming terror.
4 ★Awesome app. Only issue is the Aurora data widget is just showing loading.
5 ★Am currently using this app and find it quite good.
5 ★Nice app quite accurate
