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.

2 ★there is some noise data that is coming when listening to some audio recording
5 ★Good
5 ★Ok
5 ★All in one of the best audio video
4 ★Great app to watch videos but there is a issue. When subtitles is on the video gets stucked when the subtitles come. It becomes a very bad experience while watching anything with subtitles on. Please fix it. Otherwise the app is great just need to fix the subtitle bug. Also give a feature to move subtitles up and down. Sometimes the subtitles do not show using full screen. That'll be highly appreciated
