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

3 ★Please! Make the UI more usable
1 ★If you want to play Lichess, go to their website, this app the only thing that will give you is stress. You can literally touch a piece 5 times and it won't move, but all of a sudden by what I believe is magic you touch a square, and a random piece will go to that square, don't ask how, because you'll never know, and like that, you lost the game. Congrats you made the worst chess app in the market 🎊
4 ★Don't care much for the analysis (doesn't seem to understand blocked pieces which lead to discovered check, threats to more valued pieces, etc). Otherwise one of the best chess games available.
3 ★There was no way to contract for my issue, FAQ didn't have it on the list, and there was no solution. There are house rules that aren't even mentioned anywhere. 😡 Takeback feature adds more time to their clock after I accept! Seriously?
2 ★Moves lag a bit causing eventual loss
1 ★white time out- draw, are you kidding me , white is lost and i win, you already giving seconds
5 ★Brilliant! At last chess app as intended
1 ★Very disappointed, it keeps saying reconnecting as If I have no internet,
1 ★Poor server. I play bullet and blitz and game suddenly stops . This happens majority of the time. What a waste of time.
5 ★Nice app
