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.

5 ★Love it. Much better than the other free astronomy app I used to use to go on Sky Safaris. This one is more accurate, doesn't "forget" the compass, has a better visual finder method, and doesn't charge extra to show you comets. This one also works attached to a telescope guide system, but this is a fun one even with a normal scope, binoculars, or even naked eye. Get to know your universe! The name on here includes "Comet NeoWise" but that's just for now I think. The name is SkEye (not SkEye). Note makes of this app, there seems to be a fake with same name on iTunes store, not this one, but same name.
4 ★Great app, low mb, accurate but the one problem i have is sometimes whenever i use auto-scroll it goes in the opposite direction, please fix that bug. Also please add more details into some messiers (Like a button that shows all the details magnitude, lumination etc.)
4 ★So far very customizable. Like the ability to super zoom and target identification. Alot of App for the small size. Very limited city location search. Coloration of stars somewhat annoying
5 ★I downloaded this as I read somewhere that you can change the view of the sky so that it is not in the same plane as the phone screen, thereby allowing one to mount the phone along the length of a telescope, to be used as a push-to system. However I have been unable to find how to do this. I would give 5 stars if I can get this to work. EDIT: I figured it out!
5 ★Map shows facing south when I am looking north. I reset all senors, compass & reinstalled. But it still shows i am looking south when i am facing north, please help. Edit: Once the trouble shooting steps were followed it now works, thank you for you support and a wonderful app!
5 ★I Just love this app it improve my interest in space easy to use no ads at all.Nicest ui no lag highly recommended.
1 ★I've had this app for a while. My neighbor loved it and shared it with me. He could move his phone around, point at an object and click to identify it. I bought it but the potentiometer on my phone never worked. Now new phone. Still can't get it to work.
4 ★Good easy to use sky map
5 ★Perfect 👍. Love it great Job Dev's!!!❤️🙂
5 ★Just awesome... This app cuts my sleeping hours. Just want to give only one suggestion... " Would you please little increase the brightness of navigating arrow or provide brightness control?" Overall it is really fantastic with precision.
2 ★It used to work great. But two "updates" ago broke the view/location. I see a planet, point phone to it, but the map is not showing the object, I have to move phone about 45 degrees to my left for the sky map to find object..
5 ★Downloaded to find the geminid meteor shower tonight. Easy userface and display. It calculated where I need to look at the time I choose. Which is awesome because now I can choose the best viewing location
