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
3 ★I can only select "Dock Icons" from my purchased icon packs, so I'm forced to use stock icons and most non-google icons are ugly. Please fix this, the description of this app is pretty misleading. When others advertise customisable icons as a feature it almost always means using icon packs. Otherwise, I love the app. It's as stable as I was hoping and I have hidden my dock now and just use this.
1 ★really sad. this developer for a moment was doing well. then all his apps went to crap. poor attitude when you email him. though lately he doesn't even care enough to respond.
5 ★Sometimes I got to swipe 4-10 times to activate this app. Very ineffective. Update: I just decided to give this app another shot since I left my thought a few months ago. I must say I am now quite please to say the devs seemed to have listened and addressed the issue I've mentioned above. I've increase my rating to five stars. Good job.
1 ★Updated review: downgraded review to 1 stars from 5 due to bugs, no ability to contact developer, and lack of response to feedback: "recent apps" not visible on Samsung Galaxy Note 2014 Edition running Android 5.1.1. Also, when recent apps were visible (on tablet or phone), they would disappear when exited using the back button yet were still open when holding down the home button. Also, when switching to recently used app "Phone", I am not taken to the app and it becomes removed from "recently used apps".
4 ★I use this all the time and have found it to be a great app. Even like it better than any floating toucher apps. I have two problems with it though...1) the torch toggle does not activate my LED flash to be used as a flashlight, and 2) the Bluetooth toggle just takes me to the Bluetooth settings screen, instead of just toggling on/off like it does for Wi-Fi Fix these two problems, and I'd give it five stars
3 ★this app randomly moves where my bar is located without me knowing or even opening the settings. I always have it on the top right hand side of my screen and every few days it moves to the bottom right and I cannot find out why it does it. highly annoying. otherwise it's a great app, I've convinced a lot of friends to download it.
3 ★Update to Android 4.3 resulted in Sidebar Pro showing persistent notification. Disable notifications on app does not take effect. Once fixed, rating will most definitely go up.
2 ★The sidebar slides in fine but I have to touch an app icon 2-3 times for it to actually open. It's faster to just open my previous app tray than do this. Needs an update because it's currently a waste of money
1 ★I have recently installed Pro app but I don't know its not working on my Redmi Note 3. Kindly help. I purchased it as it was good app to me. But no one responded to me. Again I installed the same in my Xiaomi Mi max still it is not working. Y can't you support n rectify this. Is this is the way you support to your customer. Very worst. No reply.
1 ★please refund my money, causing the touch screen on swipe area less responsive and drain battery so quick, email them but no respond, developer do not care about all this issues…this app is made by people who only focusing on making easy money.. uninstalled!
1 ★Did work perfectly, then randomly wouldn't let me add an app. Reinstalled it and now i can add the app but the notification doesn't work... Reinstalled again and the notificafion still doesn't work. Wouldn't mind if i had the option to disable the notification. Please fix. Htc m7
1 ★Update: No improvement in over three years. Developer not listening to user comments. Downgrading to 1 star. Paid for Pro but wasted my money. Moved to SideControl - great product! Does everything you could ask for.
