How to install Spotify for Podcasters APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Spotify for Podcasters APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (fm.anchor.android-v7.3.0.415-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
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.

5 ★This is pretty good. Better than Podbean for startups. My podcast (The Locksmith Podcast) uses Audacity to record a Google Hangout call which we edit and upload to Anchor. It's been a really smooth process. The biggest issue I've had (I'm the main editor and do all of the backend stuff for my podcast) is that my PC crashes when editing through their site. This isn't much of an issue as it only happens when I'm setting background music, and I edit the rest in Audacity. The analytics are great!
5 ★I had been searching for an App for Podcasting or just recording in general and Tried more than I wish to recall. Even with a MS Degree I'm "limited" within the framework of my personal "circuitry", ie: neurons, neuro receptors, production and distribution of the hormonal material needed for optimum Brain Function, etc. Though these things can be overcome, the effort involved sometimes seems unnecessary. With Anchor everything just fell into place. Thank you!
4 ★This app is pretty easy to use & understand. I use it for making a podcast, so I can't speak for the listening side. But the analytics are all wonky, hence why I took a star off. They don't update like they should, don't show all the listens to each episode, & now the graph is completely wrong. The "week/month/3month" graphs are all the same, but the "all time" graph is VERY different and wrong now. I don't see a way to fix it. If this issue resolved, then I might bump up my rating to 5 stars.
4 ★Recording works pretty well as long as you are all using the same platform. All on the app? Great, you can have group conversations and record. Want to use a computer and your better recording equipment? Well unless you are recording alone you are out of luck as there's no way for someone using the website to have a group chat or join an existing group chat. The distribution to other sites simplifies the process and you don't have to worry about it. However if you want to access the analytics for those other sites, you can't. If you want to even access the account on the other sites, you can't. We have issues where we aren't turning up on Spotify searches that we should even though by what we have set-up on Anchor settings we should show up. For whatever reason the analytics available on the website are completely different to the ones available on the app. Not sure why they wouldn't both let you access the same information. Overall it's a good app if you just want to keep things simple and don't want to handle the hassle but it could do with adding/expanding on some existing features. It feels like the website and app are designed completely separate from each other and not intended to work hand in hand
4 ★I wish you could make more money with sponsors but considering the app itself is free, can't complain about that part. The app is very large and takes up too much space. Plus ive had multiple instances of trying to upload a large audio file only for the app to close on me, losing the entire audio file since it doesnt save the audio recorded within the app to your device. Also have been told by friends that the app doesnt send out notification of new episodes of my podcast to subscribers.
4 ★Definitely one of the easiest and most well rounded audio apps I've seen ever. The only thing I would like to be improved on in the audio editing itself. We should to input where we want the audio of background music say when your at the conclusion of your recording so that it ends with the music slowly fading in the background if y'all can manage than this app will be perfect.
4 ★Uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Everytime, I receive the message we cannot connect to the network when I attempt to add my podcast hosts. Unable to create our first podcast because it won't allow me to connect. I have tried disable my wifi and wireless carrier network, both unsuccessful. 09.05.19 - It works now. Thank you for fixing it so quickly.
2 ★Hi Anchor! Love your app! Unfortunately there are a couple problems going on at the moment & it has caused me to be unable to continue with publishing. I took a screenshot of it as well. The STOP 🛑 button for recording has disappeared. The word STOP is still present, but there is no way to STOP when done recording, only option is to hit back button, which then is causing that segment to sometimes not allowing it to be saved. I lost 30 minutes I can't get back
5 ★I keep waiting for the catch.........and there isn't one. This is single-handedly the best podcast app out there, far and above better than any other I've tried. Zero sneaky charges, a podcast series that helps you get started, and loads of tools available, I really don't even think I'd have started a podcast if I had never found anchor.
2 ★I give it two stars for the appealing layout, however, it loses three other three stars for two of us attempting over ten times trying to do a two person podcast. It connected both of us once, but i couldn't be heard, even though i recorded myself in my own podcast just to check to see if my audio was accepted and operational. Nope. It would ask to join, we'd select the button and the wait music would continue endlessly for both of us over and over again (sigh).
5 ★Anchor truly does make creating a podcast accessible for everyone. At a basic level you can literally just open the app and begin recording and over time become familiar and comfortable with additional features. Anchor takes care of distributing your podcast to all the known, and lesser known services. The UI is fresh and intuitive. Thanks to Anchor creating a podcast has become a daily and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Anchor to anyone wanting to start a podcast.
4 ★I really like how easy this app makes making a podcast. It isn't perfect as it took me a bit to figure out how to set up sections and how to get the sponsored ad recorded. The podcast How To Start a Podcast was helpful but unfortunately only has a few episodes. Would like to see more. The app says you can get the audio from a video clip and I've tried it from different places and no luck.
