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

5 ★Some clues are in my range, maybe a bit difficult but can be worked out with a little time. Some are harder but have a really good clue, and I have learned something for the next time I encounter one like it. There are a few that I don't think I would have ever solved (for example, because the answer is a British turn of phrase). All said, this is a great bargain. I used to pay this price for one magazine with only one or two Cryptics. It's great to have so many here in my phone.

5 ★So many cryptics, I'm loving this! Granted, the author does not always follow the accepted cryptic clue format, but it's more than close enough, and once you get used to the idiosyncrasies, you'll have a great time.

4 ★Nice app with some relatively easy beginner-level puzzles. As someone who is just learning cryptic crosswords, this is perfect for learning the different rules and recurring patterns. However, an experienced cryptic crossword solver will probably find these to be a bit too easy.

5 ★Great app easy to use and plenty of content. Worth the money, it will keep me busy for a very long time. If you are new to cryptic crosswords, I'd also recommend the Learn Cryptic Crosswords app from Teazel - it's helped me immensely.

5 ★Good mixture of fairly obvious to stumper. Only a couple so far where I got the answer from other words but couldn't see it's relation to the clue. It would be great if you could tap a button and get an explanation of the clue. Asking a bit much I suppose.

4 ★This has been a very enjoyable group of crosswords for me. Not too difficult but hard enough to make me stop and think. It's easy to navigate and pleasant to use. My only complaint is that some of the clues are repeated.

5 ★I really enjoyed this app. My level of complexity. I liked that you can get clues when you're stuck. If you're an expert in cryptic crosswords, these might be to easy.

5 ★Really great Crossword app. Offline functionality is super for long trips. My only gripe is that it looks straight from 2012. Functionally it works great. Could do with a UI update.

5 ★Very good cryptic crosswords. Graphics are simple and effective and the user controls for the app work very well. Hours of enjoyment from this well designed functional app. Recommended.

4 ★It's good. The free version has lots to try with no ads and then one off purchase for the rest. A few settings could be tweaked but I've found it good.

3 ★Easy to use, good number of puzzles. Interface is good. Difficulty is very low though, was really looking for something challenging and blitzed through them. The clues are a little formulaic and a couple are repeated verbatim.

4 ★A good time filler. About the right level of difficulty for the average guy.
