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 ★I really like Proton overall and everything they do. Reason for review is sometimes the vpn gets stuck on the initial connecting stage. I'll see it's not connected, cancel connection, restart connection and it'll connect like normal. I did recently enable netshield to it's fullest extent, but doubt that's the cause. Important note: the connection doesn't drop (I don't think), it's when I turn it on and don't check to make sure it's truly on.
4 ★Works very well. I have to turn it off to print to my network printer from my phone and a few apps don't work with it on. Login won't come up for Ally Bank app unless I disable it. Might be able to fix problems by changing some settings but then would loose some beneficial features. Update. I was able to use split tunneling to allow the apps that don't work to bypass the VPN and work normally but that means they are bypassing the security as well.
5 ★This is a great feature to have just for having an email account with them. Have yet to get any sort of issue with it and very comforting that they have options to route through privacy rich countries for piece of mind. They offer all sorts of stuff for more technical people and people looking to bypass regional restrictions. Have no complaints at all it is very well built and quality is definitely there.
4 ★Edited: There's been some awesome improvements along the way...I've been able to connect to the servers in most of the regions all right... It comes with Multiple protocols and split tunneling. But the quick connect button fails most often; As in trying to connect to the plus servers even on a free plan. Server refreshment is quit a bit of a hassle as it takes forever to refresh them. I may be asking too much, but I'd be nice if they could add more free servers 🌀🙏
1 ★When I first started using this I was pleased. Lately, the speeds suck. I downgraded from the paid version and it was horrible. So I upgraded because I needed the features of P2P protocols and now the speeds are almost just as bad as the free version. Fix this please. EDIT - Dropped to 1*, servers are constantly dropping my connection and I'm able to watch this. Again please fix these issues.
4 ★Sometimes it gets stuck trying to reconnect. I have to cancel and reconnect. This isn't very common, but needs to be fixed I use the default settings. Servers are in Puerto Rico. Normally this happens when my screen has been locked several hours or it wakes from sleep mode. No errors reported, I only see the 'connecting'. I click 'cancel' then 'connect' and it is successful after that.
4 ★I love this VPN. I've been a paid protonmail user for many years as well. Two things should be fixed to make it the best. In windows, the kill switch stops when the app is closed or if you manually disconnect. I would like an option for "always on" kill switch (like nords and iVPN's). Secondly, sometimes the android app says "error" and in both the app and the icon in the notification bar has an X on it. When the error happens I can only manually connect
5 ★Free servers are almost always on 90%~ which lead to relatively long loading times. Though given that this is the only free option I know of, it's not anything to complain about. It gets the job done well enough for its price (which is free). There is a paid option with much lower usage %, but I haven't tried it so I can't put an opinion on that.
2 ★Pro: Great when connected. Con: Can't keep a connection for even 24h (doesn't matter if choosing Core or regular servers). Won't automatically reconnect despite having that setting selected. Often can't even reconnect when selecting manually (in the U.S.) and have to choose an international location (I'm now seeing a lot of Canadian news in my feeds). I might need to switch back to PIA, which is slower but at least stable (a lot more important than speed).
5 ★All of Proton's apps have a top-notch user experience, and this is no exception. The only reason for 4 stars is that it seems like every server I connect to is flagged as a bot, so I can't stay connected without doing a ton of captcha challenges... Edit: customer support was super helpful and helped me work out a reasonable workaround while they work on boosting the reputation of their servers.
1 ★Due to issues with billing and invoicing, privacy concerns by users, and poor support experience I can not support anything Proton at this time. The Android VPN app (this) is FINALLY open source after much user outcry. A good thing, but for now I would still use a 3rd party OVPN Android app for the service. I experienced tunnel drops while the app showed connected. Proton appears to be trying, so thanks for that at least.
3 ★When I had 1st tried it out and had brought the year subscription, I had an overall satisfactory experience with it as I used my laptop a lot and didn't want my info to be leaked. However, using it on the phone wasn't as good as the app has some problems with not being able to connect to any servers, and crashing issues. All in all, I would recommend it for Computer users as it provids ample support whether be streaming or playing online games, but mobile wise, its needs a bit of help.
