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
5 ★I've used many engines on Android & PC (Komodo, Stockfish, Houdini, Rybka, Hiarcs, Shredder, Fritz, Chiron, Fire, etc.) & some of the reviews here really annoy me. Many people whine that SF is free & stronger than K10 but overlook many important facts. For example: 1)The difference on virtually every well-controlled rating list is currently negligible. 2)K10/K11's style of play/analysis is much more customizable than SF8. 3)Every engine has its own style. Komodo is known for its strategic ability--especially in complex endgames. This is rare & invaluable for serious analysis. 4)Time controls & small changes in engine options can make big differences in results. (With an earlier version of Komodo, just changing time usage from 0 to -1 improved rapid & blitz strength dramatically.)
4 ★Komodo is best. Komodo play great on 64-bit device, one who hate Komodo, they should try on 64 bit device then they will know the greatness of Komodo.
5 ★Just the thing for diverse chess solutions
5 ★Solid performance.
5 ★It's great.
2 ★Long story short, I bought the app thinking that it will be an amazing strong chess engine but turns out a free version of stockfish can wipe out this "strong" paid chess engine. I would like to know why this lizard CAN'T beat a free version, that according to the ELO chart stockfish is weaker. It drains a hell of cores, it rush to analyze king safety, it doesn't look for strong attacks. I would like to have an engine that can beat stockfish. In my free time I just like to see chess engines battling to each other. It's disappointing and raging to see that you wasted money when you could have used the free version that is out there. Nevertheless, I appreciate your work and this is a constructive review of your failures. I like komodo as much as I like stockfish. The latter seems to be stronger than yours. Fix that. So I can continue bragging about how strong komodo is and not be ashamed of the beat down my chess engine is taking from free open sources like stockfish.
5 ★Best Chess Program Ever
5 ★Recently since the last update Komodo is crashing during 3minutes+ 2 second increment, displaying "engine error, engine closes" please fix this, I also noticed that Komodo 8 crashes as well, so Maybe it's a problem with the DroidFish app, though stockfish hasn't crashed so far
5 ★its superb in 4 cores 2 reduction and 0 contemp. But there is an engine failure every 10 days.please remove the verification licensed check!thanks.
5 ★The only engine I use. Also great support.
5 ★Great Engine works with a variety of systems...
5 ★Love it
