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.

3 ★Lovely App, Limited Off-line Support. Useful if I know what I will want to think about in the future. Not useful for answering questions I have in the moment ( unless I happen to be somewhere with internet connection). Please add support for full (or text only) offline viewing e.g. by adding ZIM file support. Wikipedia is one of the most important projects in the history of the world. Please make it available to the people of the world who don't have 24-7-365 internet connectivity.
5 ★This app is one of the best looking apps I have ever seen. It's feed is free flowing it's themes have perfect harmony and the tabs are easily accessible. If it was a browser I would constantly be using it.
1 ★I am aggravated beyond belief to have to report my need to uninstall this application. The most action I've seen is while I waited to be accepted into the Beta program. Other than that, it's either "App Closed" with which I am greeted after initialization or, my particular favorite, the front screen frozen in place, which eventually spreads to the rest of my homepage.🤨👎
3 ★Very good, but some improvements are needed. Like A quick home button to go to the home page from anywhere. Later on, featuring some other wiki projects like wiki-tionary, quotes, books etc in the same app would be great.
4 ★No complaint about the app. But some people are using this platform of knowledge and its reputation to spread misinformation to promote their political or corporate agenda. Unfortunately, they have locked such misleading articles after committing a change. One star less, because Wikipedia doesn't provide an option to report misleading articles. Developers, please add a button. One star less for not having this functionality.
4 ★App is great, cant get rid of the 'continue reading' block without going in and deleting all the tabs, would be great if you can just swipe and it goes away. overall nice UI and good app.
5 ★This is the best thing that ever happened to my life I think. Before the apps greatness and intuitive practical feature list and layout/design I didn't even have an account. So i was operating on a very unproductive scale. Now all I can say is this app is amazing.
4 ★Nice app but the app started to have some problems.When ypu srcoll through the end the text and "below button sections" intersect at each other and the below section covers the rest of the text. I am using Samsung Note 2.
4 ★Opening the section menu is nearly impossible on my Google Pixel 2 xl when I have gesture navigation enabled. This is the default in Android 10. The section-menu button at the bottom right doesn't work on my phone.
5 ★It is good. I can know whatever I want like pokémon, miraculous etc.
5 ★The new meterial you design looks so amazing and the app feels so smooth I love it
5 ★Absolutely the one app I can't live without! Wherever I am, if I need to know something absolutely obscure, I can wiki it. Which I do, often (ADHD), and usually in places where internet coverage is spotty at best. Thank you to everybody involved in making this app!!!
