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.

2 ★There's a great variety of rules you can set and I like that you can set as many as you want for free, but it doesn't accurately measure usage time. At least, it doesn't seem to update the usage time for itself until after you open whatever blocked app again. So, if you wanted to only use YouTube for a max 30 minutes a day, you could use YouTube for longer than 30 minutes as long as you don't minimize it after you've crossed 30 minutes. Lovely app in concept, I would be sold if it worked.
2 ★When I first saw this app, I immediately felt that the concept is very good, restricting yourself to the modern addictions, in the context of which, I confess I'm addicted myself. But the app, doesn't seem to work for me at all, it neither blocks my addicted entry nor the notifications... I don't know why....but, I sure hope that this major complaint will be taken care of. Asap.
3 ★Its strange really... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have rules set for social media apps. When it goes past 9pm its not supposed to let you in the app until the time set, which I chose as 6am. Sometimes it works like a charm, allowing me to get to sleep in good time. Other times, it's like I never had the app. I went on Instagram at 11pm out of habit and after liking a few pics, realised I wasn't being notified or kicked out. I opened the detox app and found the settings were on.
5 ★I love this app! It is such a necessity in this time and age. I waste hours and hours scrolling through apps, which, in the end, makes me sad about my lifestyle. Thank you for this app! I have just one suggestion: for users like myself, who keep checking/unchecking the "allow yourself to pause a rule", please add a "final" option that will not allow us to pause the rules at any cost. Also, give the app administrative authority to not get uninstalled. Thank you.
4 ★I have a suggestion. There is an option which prevents to Pause any Rule once it is in effect which is great but still it is possible to delete that rule thereby making it useless and the concerned app can be used. So I think it would be better if you add a feature which allows the user to prevent deleting a Rule once it is in effect if he opts to do so.This will help the Rule to be in effect until it lapses. Also sent the same via email in case you don't notice it here.
2 ★It's a nice idea, but doesn't really work because the app can't tell the difference between a "launch" & switching tabs. Say you tell the app you're only allowed one Facebook launch per day. You launch Facebook to do your one allotted session. You see a word you don't know on your feed and tab over to a dictionary to look it up really quick. You try to tab back to Facebook to finish reading the post- Nope! The app now thinks you're in a new "launch" and blocks you from continuing your session.
4 ★Generally quite good, but a minor issue with the per hour restrictions. I can fall down the app hole when I get home from work, so I have a fifteen minutes per hour rule set. Unfortunately, if I happen to be using the app during a change of hour, the time is not reset appropriately - so if I'm in an app from 6:50 - 7:05, I'm not allowed any more time in that app until 8:00 because it ran out my counter on the 7:00 - 8:00 hour even though my session started in the 6:00 - 7:00 hour.
2 ★Was once the best app I've tried for phone detoxing. Now, it has too many bugs that I even feel annoyed by the phone (or maybe that's the intention of this app, who knows). The time limitation would never work unless I exit the app and try to get in again. And if I'm already in the app, exceeding the time limitation is nothing. Sorry but I'm uninstalling.
1 ★This app simply does not correctly track app usage. I love the idea of rule breaks, but even with the setting set to close apps as soon as a rule is broken, they don't. An alternative app I'm using this tells me I used an app for 1 hour yesterday: this app tells me it was only 20 minutes. there's always a little popup that tells me how much time I gave left, but the app doesn't close after that time, and when I reopen the app it tells me a different time. Dev doesn't seem helpful either.
4 ★I find this app really useful, except the usage time feature seems to be based on a different time zone to mine. I have a 20 min usage limit on an app and was on it for 21 min last night (well before midnight) and not only did I not get a notification then, but now I have less than 20 min remaining for today, despite not using the app yet.
3 ★I used this app for a few months and it was pretty good. In the end though, I was too annoyed by the way notifications affect it. I used AppDetox mostly for Twitter: notifications from Twitter seemed to reduce my allotted time per hour even when the app was closed. Whenever I got a notification after my time limit was up, AppDetox would close any app I had open at the time!
3 ★Good in theory and I like the option to set time limits which is a feature lacking from other app Blockers. But it doesn't always block apps in my set blocked times. It also seems like it counts app usage during the times the apps are running in the background and not just the time I'm actually interacting with the app.
