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.

User's Reivew
1 ★To much bugs when I download any article it download but after sometime it shows that it is not downloaded
1 ★Untrustworthy app since it provides information that is false and unverified. It runs totally on donations hence doesn't seem to care about authenticity of displayed facts on its platform. It has unprofessional employees who work as its moderators, unofficially too, who report any profile that doesn't seem to suit their partisan ways of functioning. It provides obsolete information too and is not updated. Their only focus is to delete pages labelling them as advertising etc without any proof.
5 ★The new layout, with "find in page" in the overflow menu rather than in the bottom of the page, and search for a new article in the bottom rather than in the overflow menu, is inconvenient and makes finding keywords in the article tedious. Edit: Now perfectly ordered "find in article" and "search wikipedia" fields. 5 stars back!
5 ★Justified text! Would make it look much much more professional! The daily article should be portal related, if I like baroque music, a new article about baroque music will be chosen every day. The same principle applies for the randomizer. Maybe combining the both ideas.
5 ★This App & Website has improved so much over the years & has everything you need or want to know all in one place & regulary fact checked! Saves me so much time researching + when you get different info by different sites. I ❤ this App!
5 ★Best app ever feeling bored? Open a random article or read any page of your intrest. Want to do resarch for school read Wikipedia articles just for free. You can also edit articles. Also as micheal scott said "Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information". Also available in different themes like dark mode and more. Also many great features.
5 ★Very nice app, it helps me to collect many information. And that also good that anyone can write in Wikipedia. Easy to use.
4 ★I will sometimes run into a bug where pages opened though clicked links do not load.
5 ★This app is so user friendly, intituive and such a joy to use.
2 ★Goodness, to take a very functional mobile site & develop it into something far less user friendly, easy to navigate & ugly as sin in the form of an app, what a pity! Will switch back to the mobile site
4 ★I love this app because I read enough through it but I'm giving you 4 stars because by reading from cell phone can damage your sight so you should include the (text into voice) feature that will help us to end this RISK. Thanks once again❤
1 ★Was good, but after last update it just says "network error, not connected to Internet". Tried reinstalling, but now it only opens to a black screen and freezes.
