How to install aGrep APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download aGrep 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 (jp.sblo.pandora.aGrep-v2014.03-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.

5 ★First used on Jellybean. Had use for now on my P2XL. Still working after all these years👏🏻 aGrep finds hits AND if you press on a hit will open the input file and position to the highlighted string. Can find phrases without squotes,dquotes, just enable regular expression (with or without using a regex) And it's hold press target directory to select; not tap.
4 ★Because it finds stuff :) ―― 1_Set a base path to start the search [+] (Necessary, long-press on the folder name (browse up […] to get to other Storage)), 2_Add file extensions to the list [+] (Necessary ( * here means NoExtension )(AnyExtension I can't figure...)), & 3_Check at least one item of both to use for a given search. ―― If you learn the most basic RegEx you'll be miles ahead. (Try e.*t after checking 'Regular Exp...') ―― A few Settings. If the screen labels get wacky, just exit & relaunch the app. Despite the minor flaws, I like the one-screen setup & go. [me:KitKat]
5 ★Alhamdulillah, Its a great app ever, I found all thee things in this app what I needed, thanks the developer team. It searches the word even utf-8 in few seconds and no case sensitive, and then press any search line and go to the original file view, GREAT! or press short tap to copy - the feature is also great. I found at last what I was looking for. Can I get the projects codes?
1 ★This application has a major problem: it does not find the word you are searching for, if that word is in the file-name..!!! Example: suppose you have a folder containing hundreds of text files. you are searching for some word, say: xyz. If xyz is in the body of some file, it will be found and displayed correctly. But if xyz is in the file-name of that file, it will not be shown..!! I understand a search tool should find all occurrences of the target word, both in the file-body and in the file-name.. Please adjust and I'll give you five stars.. Thanks
3 ★Not working on huawei p9 lite nougat, "unable access" all directory and not even found a simple text file but it's here. I dont give 1 star because the app latest update is 2014 and I believe it cause by runtime permission required since Android 6.
5 ★I used the app to search for names in a directory with 20 text files (from 247KB up to 3927KB). The search uses regular expressions and ignores case. This app can really search for what I need to look for in the document. On my mobile phone (2 Cores 1.2GHz), the search process takes about 30 seconds, maybe up to 40 seconds to check the result for all the files. The same search process takes about 15 to 20 seconds On a tablet pc (4 Cores 1.3GHz). My default document viewer is having trouble opening these moderately big sized txt files but with aGrep, opening and viewing the text within the search results is amazingly fast. It is also easy to cancel the searching so you can quickly change the search parameters if you made a mistake on your input. (Doing all this search process on a mainstream desktop PC will display the results instantaneously) I don't know if it is about my Phone's processing power that the search result takes some time. From the apps that I have tried out so far, this is the only one that can do the task. Now, I'm just checking if there are other apps that can do it faster.
3 ★Searching for some characters (such as \) causes the app to instantly crash. Little buggy, but appears to work OK.
5 ★Running Android 6 and your app cannot find anything, or at least never displays anything; just "Now Searching" popup, then "Finished." toast ... EDIT: reinstalled app and now it works perfectly!
5 ★Pretty impressive app,allows me to grep files on the bus without having to break out the laptop. (Yes I have to do this more then any body believes) :)
5 ★I searched for 'search text' apps. They searched whole disk to find a string. Finally this app searches spcicific directory and extension provided. Also this Android 5.0 update seems to work well.
5 ★Very fast, very useful for me. I'm using a lot of large text files from different languages. This is very precious to me, thanx. Wish i can have more options for the display
1 ★I can no longer add folders to search. It initially worked. Presume no longer updated to support latest annoying android security changes, although from reviews other users must be managing.
