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.

5 ★NOT BAD
5 ★Good
1 ★This was an excellent emulator but now needs phones permission to use but no way to do so. Folders seem empty to the application. I'm really upset as I paid for this application and it won't work on my new phone 😔 I tried every way of giving this app permission but there is no way possible 😔
1 ★Netplay absolutely does not work locally under any circumstance. After connecting, it's just two different devices staring at player one. No multiplayer, sadly. I've successfully set up a server and a client and got the connection to happen... But all that happens is player two is watching player one play the game... The emulator does not recognize two separate players at the same time.
1 ★Total Garbage, STAY AWAY. Gameplay is mostly fine, but sound accuracy and quality is distorted and inaccurate no matter which settings you change. If you try using low latency sound, it is terribly choppy. Just use something like Retroarch, which is free and flawless by comparison. This was tested on an array of devices ranging up to even the snapdragon 845, 888, and 8 Gen 2. I bought this quite awhile ago, but tested it again after much time passing to find it was just as terrible. Shameful.
5 ★Best SMS and GG emulator. Absolutely worth the $5.
5 ★Had this app and all the other Garage Research apps for 4 or 5 years now and have no complaints, the one time there was a problem with the app I contacted the developer and an update was done within a week. 👍
1 ★Crashes constantly: freeze in gameplay resulting in a still screen (with the quit menu still working) every few minutes, other crashes cause the app to close suddenly, most often without an error message. In between crashes, emulation is very poor: music is TERRIBLE ("sounds wrong"). I HAVE VIDEOTAPED EVIDENCE OF ALL THIS: the dev claims I'm lying (below) in his reply. Reported these problems to the developer: he refused a refund, lied about Google refund procedure, not interested in helping.
3 ★Again poor sound. Game Gear sound skips at highest sound quality 41000 no matter which other settings used. Good video though. Response to developer: If Xperia Play can run NeoGeo, it can run Game Gear
4 ★Nice
