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 ★Exceptional - Works like a charm. Simple, Easy, Clean & Effective
1 ★Puts text in computer format language to the point of being completely unreadable or printable.
1 ★When it looks at Google Drive it doesn't look in the right place and you can't navigate. Totally useless.
5 ★Great app to back up messages even though google has tried to destroy it's functionality
5 ★Amazing!! Such a convenient transfer from my previous Android phone to Google Android. Thank you so much!!!!
5 ★It helps me to get back my sms from old to new phon. Keep it up and thank you
2 ★This app only backed up incoming messages so every conversation is missing my side of the conversation
3 ★So far so good. Other than I can't read my backups in the right form without using the app
5 ★Works great and has for years. It's designed to work with Google messenger. If you don't have it, install it. If a restore doesn't show I found that when a new message comes thru, the restored ones follow. Instead of waiting for a new message, Simply send yourself one.
5 ★Best app to backup your sms and calls. It is extremely good app. It is non-intrusive, backups automatically to your cloud drive. Restores messages pretty easily. I have been using it for years, and no complain about it. If they provide a deal on pro version, I may buy it in future just to support them. At current price, I find it little expensive for me.
4 ★I've been using this for several months; it works well. The automated functions are good, I have scheduled backups to Google Drive every day and download as needed from there. I would prefer it if the backups were easier to read without having to navigate to an external website; however you can also open the .xml files with Excel, it's fairly easy to play around with them to extract data. Ads aren't intrusive, and it has been fairly easy to set up.
3 ★Just useless to backup in WINDOWS one Drive. The text is also scrambled and doesn't read well when backed up. Should be able to have a much better reading format experience. Thank you for the feedback. I have tried it and doesn't work properly. I will continue to do so. When a developer try to help, give credit is where credit is due. I will go from one star to 3 stars. If I managed to sort out the reader, I will update feedback and star rating.
