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

1 ★I'm not paying that much for a single purpose app when other apps do more for free. I'd consider maybe half that price.
5 ★It works great, it doesn't seem to be possible to bypass
1 ★Enabled in xPosed, rebooted, never got past logo screen. Couldn't safe mode either. Ugh.
2 ★It just keeps asking me to enter the security pattern over and over and never opens the apps
1 ★waste of money, this application can't do what is made for,
5 ★Most secure locker but you must use pin and don't use default android security options a at all
4 ★This is my preferred app locker because it's resource-friendly. It can be slow/laggy sometimes, but that might just be my old phone to blame. Thank you for adding tasker support!
1 ★This app soft bricked GALAXY Note 3. After installing, it started giving me alerts I needed to restart my phone. After enabling in Xposed, I rebooted, and at the carrier screen I got stuck. I tried rebooting several times, and even wiped the cache from recovery and let it sit for 20 minutes, it never got by the carrier screen. Eventually I gave up and did a full wipe and reset. Now I get to reinstall all my apps again... Minus this one. What a shame.
1 ★There is a major bug (for me at least). Whenever I change something in setting, the protection become zero. Apps can be unlocked with any password. Like I have a 5 digits pin code, protected apps unlocked with any pin code I enter. So that a big risk to security and now I can't trust on it for my security..
1 ★Note 3 bootloop when activated
3 ★Fingerprint unlock would be nice
5 ★Help
