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.

4 ★useful ******************** Sending SMS from ownCloud instance will coming in a future release. ****************** still waiting been over a year since this was stated.
5 ★You can tell A LOT of work has gone into this app and each version gets better. It's kindofa PITA to set up initially (ALL the OC stuff is really) but once it's all dialed in it's extremely reliable. There isn't a better way to archive texts totally offline and completely automatically. Would love to see an app that would mirror the archived texts on another device (say a tablet).
5 ★I emailed the dev and within 24 hours he had updated the app to support my phone. Very nice person and worth supporting the paid app vs the one on F-Droid.
3 ★When it works it is great. But it keeps losing the account details!
4 ★The display of my mobile broke. Luckily this app was installed. So I could still read the SMS I received. Upload works reliably. The Web app on server side will not win design prices, but it's ok. Hope triggering SMS send from OC to mobile will be implemented soon. I'm really waiting for this feature.
5 ★Thanks again! Support also very fast!
5 ★Its a great app for backup even in beta.
5 ★My owncloud was outdated. Uninstalling though. I thought we could SMS through owncloud, not just backup. Oh well. MyPhoneExplorer still does the job better for backing up and SMS from computers. Cheers dev. I won't refund. I'll keep an eye out for if this ever becomes more than a backup app.
2 ★Well, I thought this app will let me sync SMS messages among multiple phones, and also let me see them on my ownCloud interface. Sure it did some uploading. I can't disable the sync notification, which would only be of interest in case of a problem. However, the OC interface brought my server to a crawl. It was really slow to show some message threads, some of them with names, some with only numbers. And it took literally minutes to switch among them when I clicked on them. Also, it only shows the last (?) message of each thread, and the number of messages. Even that with wrong date. And it didn't accomplish why I purchased and installed it in the first place: didn't sync messages among devices. Which, while the description only states to sync to the server, would be quite logical, considering the whole point of ownCloud is to keep stuff in sync among multiple devices/computers. So in the end, I'd ask for a refund if I could. At least until it's fixed to an usable level.
1 ★Purchased it, couldn't get it to work, refunded. Researched and found I did something wrong, repurchased and tried again. Still no dice. No refund option. RIP
3 ★... sucked my battery dry on scheduled syncs (and push-on-receive only as well) and used 135 MB of data in 10 days. Also, disabling autosync in the account settings didn't prevent the app from trying to sync on a regular basis. I had to uninstall it for now. :/
