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 ★Love it
5 ★Its very good im using pro version. Got some lags when rearranging apps, it connects other apps to the one i chose and move with it. Weather didnt find my city. We need win8 lock screen too :D. I saw some bad feelings when sliding apps, cause its oppening charm or other tab. Charecters like 'p' is hard to type, i donno why its not selectable some times. And its better to have notifications on tiles :D
3 ★Can't move tiles the way I want and my Captions won't stay...
4 ★It's not working anymore please help
3 ★Great UI but lacks speed in auto-rotation of the screen tested on 2 tablets. Weather needs location update. It doesn't locate my city automatically. Needs good resolution icon when pinning apps into homescreen. Unable to run widgets or pin it. Over all , it's good.
5 ★I have been following this beautiful application from the begining. You are indeed doing a marvelous work. I am using the pro version. I could say you are almost perfect. Please look at the widget some of them appear funny, like calendar some don't work. I am using Samsung galaxy note pro 12.2 with kitkat. Do not be discouraged. This is the best in the market. God bless you
4 ★Hoping some features get added but overall best app available
5 ★Awesome
3 ★I bought the app to support the developer, and i hope this one is getting better. I really like the windows UI phone and metro ui. App is a bit sluggish sometimes.. Its hard to rearrange the icon, and i cant open the gallery trough the icon. For now i give 3 diplomatic stars until the better update #update i cant open my gallery at all on metro ui theme
4 ★There is a error message when adding widgets in the pro version please fix. Besides that I like the app very close to Windows 8.1 format.
3 ★Basic weather doesn't work, keep getting good error occurred contact developer. If your going to make it a Windows look... Make it... Fail app so far. Also the watch feature is fail. I want to see the date and time. Waste of money, would like a refund.
5 ★Closest launcher I have seen to resemble Windows 8. Update 1.8.3 got this launcher working the way I want it. I get "error adding widget, contact developer" when trying to add widgets under certain DPI settings. A 120 DPI allowed me to add all the widgets I have to the home screen. The ability to change the home screen icons to themed icons or pics would be great. Great work on this launcher.
