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

5 ★Literally the vest conference app
5 ★Very useful. Thank you
5 ★Veeeeery useful.
5 ★Very helpful
5 ★Awesome
5 ★Or the ability to dump my started content etc to xml/Google drive or whatever before the next schedule is released. I was using starred events to know what videos from the archive I wanted to watch. The app app is great, and really helps plan your route at the event. Thanks as ever, especially for responding to feedback.
5 ★This app is very easy to use; better than many conference apps I've tried. The notifications for upcoming sessions I've starred can be turned off or changed in the settings, and I appreciated the links to a map of the session location for each session so I can find my way there quickly. The only improvement I can think of is to make it easier to find the next sessions as the conference goes on; right now when I go to the list of sessions I starred, or a list of all the sessions in a specific track, it lists them chronologically and as the conference goes on, I have to check the current time and scroll to the appropriate place in the list. I would love it if it jumped past or greyed out the sessions that are over so that I can more easily identify current & future sessions. Thank you Christophe!
5 ★I had a little difficulty downloading the schedule at first but this fixes all of the problems I had with the other schedule app. You can now see what's coming up really easily and set how long before the event you want to be notified. Great work.
5 ★Was super useful for navigating the sea of talks at FOSDEM.
5 ★Is there a way to generate a schedule from the stared events list? That would be awesome!
5 ★best fosdem schedule app so far
5 ★Quite helpful, thanks!
