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 ★Simply the best chess app for online playing and unlimited puzzles. It's not only completely free but also free of any ads.
4 ★I am using the app every day for few years, and overall experience was always 5 stars. Since few days ago, there were some changes introduced that make the app glitchy and unresponsive as it never was before. Clicking on username doesn't always bring up the profile options, the landing page takes a lot to load, no indication of searching for opponents, and more. The end of game popup doesn't always show up. Hopefully it will be fixed soon, according to this app highest standards.
5 ★The app has improved immensely. You can now get your game database on the homepage i.e the login and profile page. Good time controls
2 ★The best chess website there is, all free, all the time. It's a great app, too, except that it doesn't include the newest puzzle features available on the website. May 2021 update: This has caused the app to load incorrectly. I'm never logged in any more when I open the app and UI doesn't respond to most button presses. There's a workaround which fixes the issue if you go into puzzles then back home, but needs fixed.
4 ★I guess I could give 0 stars but as it is not possible I am giving 1 star rating.The server is worse when it comes to making moves, when we are in the most critical time in doing a move it doesn't register the move and I have lost a few blitz games that way.
5 ★Best app for android , no lags , no ads and free analysis for your games . UI is also simplistic and easy to use.
4 ★Fast paced chess game for Android! Nice to have online pvp. Customisable background, board and pieces too!!
5 ★In low time situations , touching peaces don't work well and easily I lose the game by times out. please fix this bug. In the end, I Appreciate you from deepest in my heart. you give us every option for free. I respect you.❤️
1 ★During the game, sometimes it shows error and I lose the game when I am about to win. It happens several times. 😠
5 ★I play this every day, great fun. On level 2, it makes whopping great mistakes. It could have had check mate in one move, but missed it. Then it could have captured my queen, but made a silly move with a pawn instead, and ended up losing with me plus 31 points.
4 ★Lichess is great, but I think the mobile version of the website is friendlier than the app. I was just playing a bullet game (1+0) when the app suddenly threw me back to the home menu. It took me 30 seconds to get back in the game, after which I didn't stand a chance anymore. Never had such problems on the website
2 ★Plz!!! Give us an update of sound like "ROBOT, SPEECH, FUTURISTIC etc". I hope you give us that update ☝️ very very soon. Otherwise best chess game ever...🤠👍
