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.

4 ★Great game, it would be really useful to have the ability to show theEnglish and Japanese characters on each piece at the same time - that waywe can learn which is which :)
5 ★Nice Game this is the best shogi app i've ever downloaded i used to playthis with my little brother. But my twin didn't understand the game becausethe only game he knows is chess & he's good at rubics cube he can'tunderstand shogi because it's a japanese chess & we live in the philippines.
1 ★When I started the game, my screen was completely empty, except for the ad at the bottom. Uninstalled.
5 ★Shogi - The only board game that outstrips even Chess!!
5 ★Nice alphabet pawn
5 ★This has got to be one of the best Shogi games available. Not only does it have a variable difficulty from "super easy" to "I am your merciless Shogi God", but it also has English pieces for those learning, and winnable pieces and boards.
4 ★This game is brutal for absolute beginners, but a good way to learn. Thirty years of traditional chess rammed into my head and now I have to rethink all my strategies.
5 ★Great interface and progression for offline play. I like that you can save/record games as well. This works as a great supplement to additional shogi study.
3 ★Why can't the game be sharde with friends , the game is way too Hard , and why does 1 game last over 3 hours , However this game is smart for someone who is in 10th grade high school
5 ★I think it's an amazing game
5 ★Fast AI and surprisingly fun unlocks.
5 ★An exceptional free shogi app!
