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
4 ★I'm crazy interested in all cosmic things almost everything amazes me. This app helps me analyze and detecting things that probably need lots of effort and time. The most useful feature for me is "Live view" It's very easy to track constellations and other cosmic events. After graduation I plan switching to pro version. I have one request. Please add comets data to the app so we can also track comet's. I thought I can easily detect comet "neowise" using app but it was useless.
4 ★Pretty decent amount of stuff for free shows more stuff than the other app that I have for viewing the sky. I like it
5 ★I think it's a very cool app, lots of information, easy to use once I got used to it. I enjoy how accurate the location is when I'm traveling, very cool. It easily informs me where and what's up there (above the sky) no matter what part of the world I'm in. Thanks for your awesome work that everyone's puts into this app.
2 ★This app use to work great but now every time I open the app it wants me to load my location; gps, wifi or manually. Once I load it and try to go to the main page it starts over with the location again never making it past there. Frustating to say the least. Used to love the app but now cant use it anymore! Please fix so I can use this great app once more!
4 ★I am still trying to figure the app out. Direction on star chart say SW when i am pointing to the West. I'm not sure what is the problem. I will edit rating when I find out what the problem is.
5 ★I have tried many differnt apps. Very, difficult. But this one takes you step by step..I'm learning more every day. Live sky is the best. It tells you what your looking at. Thank you . I use this app on my phone, which makes things more portable for travel
5 ★Love the app and when I have some extra $. I would. But for now I enjoy what i can get for free. This isn't my first astronomy app. I have deleted all the others except space station flyover its free.How come you charge for something free elsewhere? Excellent app though. Thank you for helping us understand what a small part of what we are given.
3 ★Im giving it a 3* because as a novice, I'm not sure how to use this. However, in "my location" via GPS, it has zero resemblance. Rocky and mountainous displays yet i live on the coast of Lake Michigan! You can read other reviews with the EXACT SAME complaint! No "earth view" just blue ocean shows. So if the basics are this difficult or unexpectedly different in appearances to my location, then its basically useless. ALSO a ton of ads, one with nearly every other move i make! Ugh.
4 ★The basic application is amazing. You can see stars inside your home at the location they are in. I used the app the other day to settle an argument. I told my friend that Venus to the East was the brightest object. He thought it was a satellite. I taped on the app. and pointed at Venus and touched the spot.
5 ★Amazing app. In short, this app is mobile telescope. You can point out at any direction towards any star and zoom in to max and see the live positions. I spend so much time on this app and it gets more interesting once you start knowing in detail information about sky objects. A complete app I must say. Amazing!
5 ★Very cool app with a lotta tools. One night around 2:45am I was up looking at the sky, it was clear and I saw a steady bright red-ish light and I was curious to know what it was. I figured I'd get an app to help, and this is the only app that actually had a live view that I could point my phone in the direction of what I'm looking at and identify the thing I was seeing. Turns out, that bright red-ish light was Mars! I would recommend this app!
1 ★Installed it and it crashes after setting location via GPS. You cannot exit the set location screen. Eventually managed to get past the location screen and to be honest other apps do this better. Then comes the big surprise when you close it it opens stupid adverts on your phone like most rubbish free apps. I hate anything to do with adverts so refuse to allow apps on my phone that open stuff without my permission and flood my screen.
