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
1 ★This is an absolutely miserable substitute for the old tablet app and cannot even be installed on older devices. Offline readability is dreadful especially for bigger stories when you have to scroll all about, even to other pages; there is no way to save articles of interest for future reference, there is no relationship between the offline and online articles, and more... The SMH is just trying to cut every cost by not having to curate the app even though we're paying for a subscription.
1 ★Unfortunately this version is not usable for me. With the previous version I could download the news while connected to my wifi then read it later on when I was out of network access. This version does not appear to provide offline access. Additionally, this version appears to load up the network even when the app is not being used and there does not appear to be an option to stop that. It is a pity that a good and useful version has been replaced with this. Keeping both would be good.
2 ★I wanted to like the SMH android app but I found the useability poor. 1) The app leaves old news mixed with current news. When you pick up today's paper you want today's news. The result of this mixing is you have to read the articles to see when it was published and it just wastes time. 2) The interface on table for Good Food / Travel is horrible. It starts out as tablet and then reverts to desktop. 3) If you can sign up online, you should be able to cancel online. I had to call or em.
1 ★I am extremely disappointed with the new app. I have been a subscriber for years and found the old app easy to navigate with a layout similar to the print version. I have previously used the app on an iPad and am currently running a Samsung tablet. Unfortunately my tablet updated recently and I am now left with the new app which is not intuitive at all. Please bring back the old app.
2 ★Oh Dear. The new UI is retrograde, as other reviewers have commented. "Today's paper" in what appears to be pdf format has reduced usability. Your main competition for my demographic is the ABC. While both organisations are under threat for different reasons, my subscription dollars are seeing less value for money. I want to support independent journalism, but it's getting less attractive when the content is harder to use than previously. Over to you...
2 ★Waste of time as it does not include what subscribers have been wanting for years. Looks a lot like an RSS presentation style. Get an RSS reader such as Feedly which can connect to a huge number of news sources. Thanks for the response. I do keep the app updated. Well, I reinstall it every now and then to see how it is going.
1 ★I have to join the general android consensus, this app is rubbish. Why? It lacks content. Half the web articles are missing. Sestions are missing. Cannot get to the quizzes, crosswords, Sudoku or target word. I am a subscriber. I sent an email to android@ and got basically an advert back. Bring back the old Android app! It was much better.
1 ★The tablet app was great and a true successor to the broadsheet paper version. Now, the tablet app has been removed from Google Play to be replaced by this small screen app that is even a poor substitute for the web site? Is this the sign of a media organisation so far in decline that it doesn't even place any importance on a readable, future-safe distribution mechanism? Very sad.
5 ★Love the app it functions well for me!
2 ★This is a step backward for the online SMH. Its boring and makes accessing content much more confusing than the old App which was a pleasure to use. I dont understand how content is laid out - it's just lists which puts the pressure back on the reader to understand the editorial perspective. I may as well just use Twitter or any number of other similar news feeds ...
3 ★The My News function needs work. It currently only takes you to the Top articles in each section, which often don't reflect my interest and are not regularly updated. Eg the Culture articles have not changed for a week, despite abundant new content if one digs deeper. Please let us choose which specific sections we want in My News, not just the algorithmically determined 'Top'.
2 ★The number of articles is limited compared to other news services & when you opt for more items, a lot of articles are repeated, sometimes more than once. Compared to say the ABC, The Guardian or BBC, the level of reporting is very basic. I live overseas & am daily looking for news content & analysis from Australia but find the SMH disappointing. It's on the level of the Daily Telegraph. It has deteriorated since the masthead was sold to Channel 9. I'm on the verge of cancelling my subscription
