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

1 ★Bought it to try it it doesn't read a single game file I have
1 ★Does not work, just keeps asking for folder permissions then saying that nothing is found. Really annoying, have to keep using the lite version with annoying ads.
5 ★Recently purchased have used John GBA for sometime and just had to get the GBC so I can play the old Zelda Oracle series, works just as well as the GBA variant. Absolutely wonderful.
1 ★Don't buy.Everytime I download a rom it says the file does not exist. Used different rom sites. Now I have a bunch of unplayable nonsense
1 ★Loved this app but now it doesn't even read any games I tried everything but doesn't read GBC files at all. Needs to be looked at
4 ★Great emulator with only one minor inconvenience. Would recommend 100% of the time. I just wish that I could make it so that the time wouldn't automatically advance between save stats and loading save states. The system time tracking is a cool idea but it doesn't work well enough, or at all when you choose to use fast forward, to have it always on. If I could dissable that feature I would give this 5 stars. I just want to play pokemon without the clock changing between save states. Plz hlp
3 ★Excellent emulator annoying DRM I finally bought this emulator after using the free version for years. I was shocked when I started it up on my flight only to find it wouldn't let me run games as it needed to "check my license" but it wasn't even the first time I opened it I'd set it all up on the ground. So great emulator but with the absolute worst kind of DRM (that punishes paying customers) I would have been better off with the free version instead I had to rawdog the flight.
5 ★Used it for years off and on, paid the $4 BC why not
5 ★It stopped reading ROM files because of an Android update. You need to reinstall the app and move your files into the new folder.
2 ★The app largely works well, however there is a quick load button on the screen that will load up your most recent save state. There is no secondary confirmation for this action, making it all too easy to accidentally lose progress in your game. Save your game frequently or you, like me, may lose days worth of progress. The next update to this game should either allow you to disable that button or add a confirmation to the action.
