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

5 ★So much easier fir race officers to get timings right, and to get results out quickly, even with big fleets
5 ★outstanding app. We started to use it up in Perth sailing club. Brilliant. One possible enhancement: an undo button on race screen to back out a lap time for the most recently recorded competitor. This would be in addition to the existing lap-1 button on each competitors popup. How do you handle multi-race series? Perth sailing club run many series throughout the year.
5 ★This is a great App for sailing clubs with small fleet racing, It creates instant results which can be uploaded to cloud storage if required. Robbie has recently put in a lot of hard work to add many new features including competitor signon, and position on race course for simplifed finisheds. It interfaces seamlessly with Sailwave the scoring system used by many sailing clubs. The Interface is simple and once set up, a 3-minute tutorial can have any one up and running. Go on give it a go along side your existing scoring system you won’t be disappointed. Robbie welcomes any feedback.
5 ★Fantastic App for Radio Controlled Sailing Results. Used to gather finish times against sail numbers this app enables you to score races & supply emailed pdf results immediately after each race if required or even better it enables you to record a whole series of a days sailing of multiple races & then import them into Sailwave & produce a result sheet scored with a series winner (including elapsed times from first boat finished of each race) within 2 mins of the last boat finishing.
4 ★We use it to manage and record races then import results into Sailwave for publishing to our website. The ability to automatically upload results to "the cloud" is extremely useful. We will probably take all ok at the features to control lights etc later in the year.
5 ★used this last Sunday as I was on assistant race officer duty and must say did the job very well. I managed ok just with app on phone but would be better on tablet if your fleet gets beyond 10 boats. We took manual times as well but from this app I had the results straight away.
5 ★This is excellent and so easy to use as Race Officer. It is useful to be able to export competitors and share so that others in the club can use it without having to enter each time.
5 ★Excellent app, you can see how much effort has gone into this. I'm going to use it along side our RO next time were out to fine tweak it.
