FAQ:
How did this app get on my phone and is it spyware?
This service is standard software, included by the manufacturer of your phone. It is not illegally downloaded, and it is not spyware. It will not cause system malfunctions or pop-up ads to appear. It is not bloatware and typically uses a max of 20 MB of space. For example, on a 16GB phone, this service takes up 0.0013% of space. We do not pay phone manufacturers to have this service pre-installed.
How can I remove this service?
Since this service is standard software, you’re unable to delete it from your phone. Instead, you can disable this service by following the manufacturer’s instructions. The typical process is: settings>applications>application manager>appropriate app>force stop>disable
Disabling this service will not affect your phone’s software. If, in the future, you require the ability to connect to services and devices via ANT+, just enable the service again.
NOTE: Since this is a factory installed service, it may enable/re-download if you reset and/or update your phone. Don’t panic! Just follow the instructions to disable it again.
Does this service track me without my knowledge?
No. The ANT Radio Service and ANT+ Plugins Service applications provide a wireless connectivity service, similar to Bluetooth or WiFi, but with very low power. These services do not collect any personal data.
Is it difficult to develop an app with ANT+ capabilities and is there a fee?
Using the ANT+ plugins in your app to communicate with ANT+ devices is quick, easy, free and uses a simple API. Visit the ANT Android Developer page (http://www.thisisant.com/developer/ant/ant-in-android) for more information and to download the SDK.

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.

1 ★Thanks for the malicious software this gives us ! For those who use it for fitbit and installed with your new sheeple tracker... glad your happy. But for the rest of us who have this forced and locked onto our phones, its true that its used as a all accses pass to all accounts, info, gps, email, banking, and malicious & Spyware. Do some research and you will find that there are programs coded to attach itself to the program for taking admen rights away. Can get it from gethub & other sights.
1 ★I have un installed this app.as well as disabled auto update! So please stop re installing I do not have enough space for a app I never choose to have as well as dont use! HERE IT IS. 13 MONTHS LATER! When I first got my tablet I did not know that there was pre-installed apps hidden embeded.Now I only know is very soon I will not be able to use due to everything that's been installed by who ever be it Samsung or Google play store,or the Devil? I do not want or use voice recon,TV, music,flip,work
1 ★Latest up took my cell signal down from 3 bars to 1 bar in my house !!! Can't even call in my own house now !
1 ★Bloat ware. Useless and unwanted.
1 ★Zero stars this app sits in my play store just spinning like its trying to update or something. It won't allow my other apps to update at all so now they won't work right either. I cant find where or how to get it off my phone.
1 ★This came up on updates ,I've never seen this anywhere in my phones apps . What I'm going to do is fully check all files ,if I see this app it will be overwritten so,I'm not interested in bloatware for any reason . Feel free to stuff your app.
5 ★My phone is telling me I have it installed yet I cant locate the location of app .. not am I able to open it from the play store
1 ★Yep, it's still here! How Samsung ( looking at the reviews that read like lousy, unwanted, can't remove it, garbage and oh, for that one idiot who thinks everyone believes it's the FBI or some kind of spyware) can still ignore everyone wishes, I just want to share with them 🖕!
1 ★Not sure what this is or why I have it. Must be bloatware.
1 ★Don't know why I'm forced to update this Ant Radio app as I don't have any apps that require it. :(
5 ★Worked perfectly. I was able to connect my ANT+ heart rate monitor to my tablet and Rouvy was able to connect! I used a cheap Micro USB (Male) to USB 2.0 (Female) Adapter and an old ANT+ usb key that came with my old Garmin Forerunner. With the software installed, no configuration was needed. I just attached the ANT key to the cable which I then plugged into the tablet and Rouvy found the heart rate monitor! Saved me a lot of money as I did not need to buy another heart rate monitor! Thanks to Google! For USB support, this software has to be installed together with ANT USB Service ANT+ ANT+ Plugins Service ANT+ My tablet is a Lennovo running Android 9. This software is for tablets that do not have ANT+ support already builtin.
2 ★Forced on me, not downloaded voluntarily so there's no way to give it a high rating it's too invasive to recommend. If it comes on your system you need it use it it'll be fine if it doesn't come in your system you don't need it don't worry about it
