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
3 ★Needs an update. Used to work great. Got a slightly updated phone (Google Pixel XL) and now APRSdroid crashes a lot. I was able to send out a beacon and a message 1 time. Now it seems to be in continual crash mode. Startup warns that this software is for an earlier version of Android and may not work. Last update 2018. Great App, but time for an update fix.
4 ★I have tried for a few weeks to get my password. I have sent multiple emails and check my spam folder every day. I feel like I wasted $4.95 I'm apparently not the only one having this problem. Google shouldn't allow us to be robbed. Piss poor service I finally got my passcode after a few months of waiting. Sept-Dec Finally got the passcode after multiple emails and months of waiting. I have enjoyed the app, but the wait knocked off 1 star.
5 ★This app is perfect, and I was up and reporting within minutes of install. I'm very new to APRS and still within moments, I was configured and viewing my own location on aprs.fi. I'm looking forward to making full use of APRS, not just location data. I'm all about free apps but for just a few dollars, support the developer because this app is well made.
1 ★Used to work perfectly on Android 9 but crashes continuously on Android 10. Last update was in 2018 so I guess its no longer supported. Such a shame as it was a good app.
1 ★Waiting 4 days so far to be granted permission to use the app I have paid for. I understand the need to verify the status of amateur radio operators wanting to use the program; however, many apps and services that charge nothing seem to manage it in 1-2 days. I will change my rating when I have been given the opportunity to use the app!
2 ★The comments about waiting forever for a passcode are unfortunately true. Originally I thought it was due to foreign verification of licenses but I have a license from the US FCC and its easily verified based upon my PayPal payment's addresses and emails. I've waited much too long and will seek out an alternative. Sounded like a decent application but the support team is lacking.
3 ★Good app, depending upon your hardware and use. It didn't work for me as there is no option to use a serial TNC over USB. To those of you complaining about a password: the developer does not issue the passwords. There are automatically generated from your callsign. Do a simple web search for 'APRS password' and enter your callsign.
3 ★Worked for a week till the Android 10 update happened. Now it won't work at all. Also, passcode generators are available all over the net. You don't have to wait for one to be mailed to you. You do have to wait for an update to use the software. I'm out $5 because of this.
5 ★Works great on Samsung Note 9. Iv'e also used in on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with no issues. KG5EFQ-5 & KG5EFQ-9
1 ★Android 10 on PIxel 3: this app no longer works. It crashes upon opening. Also, I waited maybe 6 weeks to get my APRS-IS id. I was really looking forward to using this app. I wish they would at least update the description to say it's no longer a functioning app.
2 ★I've used the app in the past but getting it again on my Samsung J7 I can not get any audio into the decove to decode. it doesn't seem to recognise the mic line as plugged in. No problems with other apps and the mic. worked well on older Android phones. Also have it on RCA tablet but the RCA makes so much RFI it covers the signal at the radio.
5 ★The app worked well on my old android phone. Since upgrading to a S10 the app crashes frequently plus the map function fails. Please fix the app, I love it!
