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.

4 ★Just had the idea for this so I am not surprised this already exists however, I would like to see an option to orient the runway circle to "track up". Meaning, show the plane fixed at the bottom and rotate the runway circle in relation to the plane would help with situational awareness
5 ★Works well and use it often
2 ★Why are the wind speeds on each runway so tiny???? It is impossible to even read them! This would be a five start awesome app if you could actually read the numbers!
1 ★Does not list main airports in Australia only backyard strips even when you do a search it does not have them.
3 ★To small
5 ★This is just the crosswind app I've been looking for. The others require the pilot to at least enter the runway number. This one displays the complete radial wind picture at a glance, with all runways already entered.along with crosswind components and suggested runways. What more could you ask for? Why isn't something like this built into EFBs?
2 ★very disappointed.
5 ★I am very impressed by the Cross Wind Assistant app! It's super-simple to use and gives a graphic representation of the crosswind (which it pulls from the closest METAR reporting station), as well as the suggested runway given the conditions. I think this will be a very useful tool! Well done!
5 ★This app quicky helps a pilot to look at his departure and arrival airport to see what runway is mostly to be used according to the wind direction. Plus you can view weather along your journey.
5 ★This is a great tool
