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 ★Unless the guardian is planning to stop providing the daily puzzles for free I can't see any reason to want this app In particular navigating to previous puzzles is not available other than scrolling through the calendar view. What a drag it would be to go back to a quick crossword from 2005 for instance The sudokus don't match the ones published daily on the website
1 ★I contacted the guardian help line number they provided, to assist with the tech issue but received no contact other than an initial acknowledgement. I waited 6 weeks. So from my experience, customer service poor and app glitchy - though when working, brilliant to work on puzzles with a remote pal. Subs cancelled as a result and Google play reimbursed my first payment.
1 ★Abysmal. I'm one of many not getting what they've paid for, and when I did finally get a response from their customer support they flippantly blame Google Play. Months later they're still accepting people's cash for an app that doesn't work and blaming a third party for it. If you're reading this review you're not using an iPhone. Buy one if you really want to use this app, it's your best chance (and even then- not guaranteed).
2 ★Great to have so many puzzles. I subscribed because I felt guilty doing the crossword without buying the paper every day and quite like a sudoku as well. Most annoying bug is that it doesn't save your progress or settings. Easily sortable, I should think, but infuriating.
3 ★Do the cryptic crossword every day. New feature of having clue at top doesn't fit my phone as screen jumps when keyboard pops up. Also, I preferred default where stay in same clue. Irritating that doesn't save my settings and keeps jumping to next clue. Please fix. Thank you.
2 ★What's going on with this app? Needs several small fixes. Gives confusing info regarding my subscription. Keeps losing my saved state. And no response from customer services. Very poor considering this is a paid subscription service. Its a great shame since the actual crosswords are brilliant.
1 ★I got this to use the sharing function but I constantly get the message saying my subscription has expired (it hasn't) when I follow my own or my friend's link. Very frustrating. As other people say the support is absolutely terrible, completely useless.
1 ★I can't use this app despite having a digital description because I didn't purchase it through Google play. Purchasing through Google play does not allow me to have the main Guardian app on my iPad too. There seems to be no way to actually get access to all premium features with any subscription.
3 ★I really like this app. I use it on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6. Until recently I would save the puzzle as a PDF using the print dialogue. For some reason the Save as PDF has stopped working in this app only. Any suggestions why this might be.
2 ★Doesn't work with dark mode on my phone. You can't see the grid lines.
3 ★Good app, subscription model needs work existing Guardian subscribers should get a discount as for example Sudoku's are not even available on the main app which should already be included as standard. Discounted pricing for Guardian existing members would be a welcome start.
1 ★Imho not worth paying money for after the free trial. Yes it does crosswords well, and sudoku but as a Guardian subscriber I can get that. What I miss from the paper-paper are all the other puzzles futoshiki and others, plus Chris Maslanka's puzzles.
