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 ★This app works great on my phone and even better on my tablet. Love the holo UI and the transitions. Great work
5 ★I am an avid reader of Hacker News. This seems the best of any of the Android apps available. Very fast and easy on the eyes.
3 ★Looks fine, but there's already free HN clients that don't have ads, so unless this starts adding features or has an ad-free version, I'm going elsewhere.
4 ★Font size is too small on Nexus 10 for me though, please add pinch to zoom or some other solution for handling this
5 ★Best hacker news app. Looking forward to the additional features
4 ★So far it looks like the best HN app but not a fan of the ads
4 ★Great overall especially sticking to the holo design philosophy. My suggestion though is to add a menu via a long press of a menu item so that someone can share the article without entering its entry
2 ★Kind of weird that clicking an article goes to the comments first instead of the article
5 ★By far the best Hacker News app I have ever used.
5 ★Looking forward the future updates like commenting and login
3 ★annoying flip animation
1 ★Horrivel, nao faz nada
