Frequently asked questions
Everything people usually ask before their first app install. Still stuck? Write to us on the feedback page.
Downloads & safety
Are the apps on this site safe to install?
Every file is checksum-verified at upload and scanned for malware before it is published; a failed scan blocks publication. We host original developer builds only — we never repackage, crack, or bundle extra software into a file. No scan is infallible, so if something looks wrong, report it and we will pull the file while we investigate.
Do I need an account to download?
No. Downloads are free and anonymous. We never ask for payment details, and no registration is required to browse or download.
How do I verify I got the right file?
Each version listing shows the package name, version name, version code, file size, and release date. Compare the package name with the developer's official listing — that is the value Android uses to identify an app, and it cannot be faked without breaking the signature.
Why is the version here different from the Play Store?
Play Store rollouts are staged by region and device, so a build may reach us before it reaches your device, or vice versa. Our version history page lists every build we have published with its release date.
Installing
How do I install an APK file?
Download the file, then allow your browser or file manager to install unknown apps under Settings → Apps → Special access → Install unknown apps. Open the downloaded file and tap Install. Our step-by-step guide covers each Android version in detail.
Do I need to root my phone?
No. Installing an APK is a standard Android feature and does not require root, an unlocked bootloader, or a custom ROM.
I get “App not installed” — what now?
The three usual causes are: a build of the same package is already installed with a different signature (uninstall it first), the APK targets a newer Android version than your device runs, or the download was truncated. Re-download the file and check its minimum Android version.
Will apps installed from here update automatically?
No. Anything installed from an APK is not managed by the Play Store, so updates do not arrive automatically. Check the listing here for a newer version, or install the Play Store edition once it is available in your region.
The site
Can I request an app?
Yes. Email the app's name and its developer to our feedback address and we will look into adding it, provided it is free to distribute.
I'm the developer and I want my listing removed.
Email us from a domain associated with the app and we will remove the listing — usually within 72 hours, and normally without needing a formal DMCA notice.
Do you host paid or modded apps?
No. We do not publish paid titles, cracked builds, or modifications that bypass licensing or in-app purchases.
