    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.

    5 ★Works grate, Absolutely love it. Keep in mind if it is not working for you it could be your WiFi router, try BMD on PC over WiFi
    1 ★Crashes in Android 10. Won't launch.
    3 ★I can control the audio by this app ? You will can create this system?
    2 ★Can't get it to connect.
    5 ★I can switch from my phone flawlessly. 4 stars 10
    5 ★Great app. Works fine.
    5 ★*edit in response to Dev: I realise now that the Android application is working fine and that the error was on my part. I was given a report from my team that it wasn't working since the update and realised they were using an Apple product (which actually has stopped working since the most recent iOS update) after submitting the report. So this app works perfectly for Android (score one for us!) and the devs are very quick to respond if you have issues. Galaxy Note 2 user.
    1 ★I bought the pro version for auxiliary outputs control and it doesn`t work (it says in the latest description that it is fixed, but it isn`t). No option of refund. Very fustrating!
    1 ★The app connected OK to my ATEM Television Studio at first. I switched cams a couple times from the app, then both the computer ATEM Software Control and the app disconnected for no apparent reason. UPDATE: I was able to reconnect to the TVS only after giving it a power cycle. Still, the app does not work consistently and randomly disconnects the computer from the TVS. I have not gotten the "Auto" button or the slider on the app to work (The "Cut" button works only sometimes; usually it causes it to lock up). All software is up-to-date (I recently updated Software Control to version 6.4), so I don't know what the problem is. Major disappointment.
    3 ★Ever since we updated our ATEM M/E 2 switcher to 6.3, I have not been able to control the auxiliary outputs from this app. I use this a lot when I am on stage to assign on stage cameras to a movable display that we have on stage, which gets fed by one of the auxiliaries. But the loss of this functionality us really annoying, but the macros that came with the update are indispensable. An update that integrates macro control from this app would be more than phenomenal! Update to material design would be a +!
    2 ★Good design and I'd buy Pro but it doesn't work on any of my Android 6.0 devices. Once a fix is released I'll change my review.
    1 ★Was amazing until updated firmware. Not it will not connect to the switcher. I was totally dependant on this app! I paid for it...
