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

4 ★I am a paid user (bought the donation package). The firewall works well. I love its logging feature. One problem though. It seems to block hotspot. That is, if I use the phone as a hotspot, the the device that uses the hotspot, can connect to wifi, but it cant get to Internet. If I disable this module, then everything works fine. So, definitely the firewall is doing something here. Update: Hotspot started working after I enabled full access to some system packages.

5 ★great app... "Version 3.8.3 2099-12-31 UI changes & more New option: Flight mode" I'm wondering where to get this update. (I have the "DefimDonator.license" file in storage) Also, like someone else already mentioned it doesn't block any browsers. No problem for me. But how can I be sure it won't fail to block other apps

5 ★Really Flexible

3 ★Doesnt work for browsers?. I blocked all connection for the browsers but i could still browse normally. The logs showed it denied chrome and opera connections. Note 3 jb4.3. Xposed v2.6.1. Stock ROM/Kernel

3 ★It works and does what it say it does. However, major functions are lacking. No import/export, no filters of any kind, no batch rule application and its not clear how the templates will work. Can there be multiple templates, is it one that applies to everything? I can't justify donating as the app stands right now.

5 ★This is the best one, use it!

4 ★Very nice

5 ★It works!!!

5 ★Amazing, working the best way it could and always keeping it simple. Great dev.

5 ★don't know why a reliable firewall was still missing till now

5 ★Before I tried many firewall apps but none of them worked for me. But this app is smoothly working for me!! Great!!

2 ★not working. doesn't block at all after setting template
