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.

5 ★Nice. Really, really nice. All the headlines you never hear from an English news-set fixated upon internal politics, football or celebrities. It works, it's fast, it's non-political, it's ad-free. Brilliant, such a tonic, thank you SO MUCH for this software.
1 ★It's just a simplified view of the web app content. While friendliness with mobile screens is a plus, it misses a lot of features that modern news reader apps offer to enrich the reading experience. I was considering a subscription but without a high quality mobile app I might not be able to make the most out of the membership investment.
5 ★So far 'The Local' offers more than I dared hope for. I wanted to know current news in other European countries, but also to know more about their culture, their geography and history. It is very early days, I have only just started to subscribe, however so far it seems to offer all I wanted. In this respect it has no rivals. I hope it goes from strength to strength.
5 ★Great news (I'm a subscriber!), but I'm sad that the latest release has removed the sharing menu. Please bring that back and I'll update my rating to 5-stars. (I'm happy with the return of the Share button!!)
3 ★As news source for English readers, I would give it 5 stars but app could be a little better. 1) A push notification for every new article would be a nice option to have. 2) support for commenting from the app
3 ★Good articles but having no (obvious?) search feature limits practical use. One article link leads to the wrong story and as far as I can tell, there's no search or category feature to find what I'm looking for.
1 ★The app lacks a bit of features and is barebones. It still needs system level dark theme and lacks any customization whatsoever. Upon asking this with the developer, I got a rude, smartass response from the developer - James Pearn - telling me to wear sunglasses at night when using the app. I wouldn't bother reaching out to the developer with any sort of suggestion or constructive criticism because his head is too far up his own ass.
3 ★Nice but does not really deliver up to date news. It also has no search feature...
2 ★Used to love the old app but since a recent update, all it does is load the articles in your default browser. I don't need an app to do that. Please display articles within the app it's self again.
2 ★Today is Saturday, January 16th. YESTERDAY the Italian government announced sweeping "orange" level restrictions across Italy and The Local has yet to report it as of Saturday, January 16, 14:26 CET.
2 ★I have a subscription but I haven't been able to use the app for quite some time now because it keeps trying to create an account using Google, which is always in progress and never completes. I am cancelling my subscription now
5 ★Informative and interesting article's from Brexit to life styles in different countries. Keep it going
