This site is a minefield of scam. The adds on this website lure you into scam downloads. Don’t pay the 1 ct bankaccount confirmation fee. It tricked me into an unwanted, useless and extremely hard to cancel membership that disn’t have anything to do with the software I wanted to download and cost me E 49.99.
The story; I was looking for an old peace of software for a powermeter that doesn’t exist on de playstore anymore. To download it I had to pay a 1ct icon fee to “check my bank account”, what really happened was signing u for a unwanted 50.- a month membership with only AI bots answering mail and telephone and sending you in a never ending loop.
After many hours of communication and proof that I did everything I could to cancel the membership my bankcompany was able to block any future withdrawals. The 50.- is gone though.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Could you please let us know which app you’re trying to download? We’d be happy to check the issue for you. You can also contact us at [email protected], and our support team will be happy to assist you.
Installed one app, and APKPure silently started downloading a 1GB game without clear consent. It consumed my hotspot data immediately. Extremely misleading behavior.
Great selection of apps, including many you can’t find on the Play Store. But the ads are killing it. They pop up from every corner and make the app very uncomfortable to use. In my opinion, this monetization method is terrible. I’m giving a mid-range score solely because the ads are a huge obstacle when trying to download games.

Hi Daniel,some apps can only be found on APKPure, and this is where we can truly help users. At the same time, we want to survive longer in a highly competitive market so we can continue providing more users with a way to download these less mainstream apps.
You can download the APKPure App Store, where there are far fewer ads. https://apkpure.com/apkpure/com.apkpure.aegon?utm_content=1008 If you usually prefer using the web version, you can also email us at [email protected] with details about any ad placements that you feel interfere with your download process. We will mark them on screenshots and show users the most straightforward download path without unnecessary detours.
Title: A Goldmine or a Minefield? 🛡️
APKPure is a great alternative to the Play Store for accessing geo-restricted apps and older version history. However, after deep research, here’s my warning:
✅ Pros: Access to unavailable apps and fast updates.
❌ Cons: Lacks rigorous security. It's a "Digital Trap" with many fake clones of apps like ChatGPT or WhatsApp. These clones often ask for dangerous permissions (SMS, Contacts) to steal your data. Intrusive ads and phishing links are common.
Final Verdict: Never use APKPure for apps available on the Play Store. It's only for power users who know how to scan for malware. Regular users—stay safe, stay official!
Do NOT use. I was signed up for product without my knowledge
I randomly got subscribed to Yogapwr while using
apkpure.com (china-southern-airlines)
I did not consent to this subscription in anyway, yet received an email saying that I was on a free trial for 24 hours then would be charged £34.99 per month after that.
I cancelled my subscription via the link in the email.
I have now canceled the subscription but in the email was told I will be charged £34.99 as a "service fee".
I did not willing purchase your product/service, and was singed up without my knowledge or consent via a scam link on a page.

Hello, APKPure is an app sharing platform where apps generally come from developers and users. We cannot control whether an app developer inserts ads within their app. Regarding the app you mentioned, could you share its official website or app link? I will try to find the developer's contact information for you. In our system, there is no app named "Yogapwr," only one app called "Yoga Power," but this app has very few downloads and they haven't run ads on APKPure. https://apkpure.com/yoga-power/cdac.com.yogaapp. First, find the website that deducted your fee and contact them to recover your subscription fee. If you are accidentally redirected to a payment page again, please don't rush to pay. Confirm the purpose of the payment before making a decision.Wish you have a happy life.
I strongly DODo NOT Subscribe to APKPure – Paid Premium, Never Activated, Zero Support NOT recommend subscribing…
I strongly DO NOT recommend subscribing to any APKPure services. I fully paid for a premium subscription, but it was never activated, customer support does not respond at all, and I have no way to get my money back. Based on my experience: do NOT subscribe to APKPure – you risk losing your money with zero support.

I ignored a request asking me to update for around 3 months, but it kept flashing up everytime I turned my Android box on, eventually I updated and there after the next day when i turned on my android box nothing worked.
I found myself lucky that in deleting the app restored normality.

nothing but popups and programs you haven't asked for, do not use APKpure, its a complete package of rubish.

We are very sorry for your unsatisfactory experience. You can click 'Me' - 'Settings' - 'Notifications' to turn off some notifications you don't need. Also, which app were you having trouble downloading? Could you please send me the name of the app?
No Thank You, I would rather install registered games legally from Google Play! And buy some Legal Nintendo Titles for the Nintendo Switch 2 from a legalized store!
But, I would occasionally look for "Coming Soon" Titles within the "Coming Soon" page!
No Thanks to you downloading selective bloatware upon entering the app!
Your answer dodged my complaint!

Hi Alec, I understand your needs now. We will make improvements based on the suggestions you have provided. Thank you for your feedback. Welcome to continue using the “Coming Soon”, and we hope it will be helpful to you.
apkpure.com used to be an excellent site where I could download Android apps as clean, pure .apk files - ready to install on my phone, without using Google. However, they have now changed that by developing an horrendous, noisy, pushy 'apkpure' app that you have to use in order to download "xapk"-files, their new, hopeless 'wrapping' for pure apk files.
APKPure 回复2025-04-01
Hi,Ove,I am delighted to have provided you with a wonderful user experience. Indeed, XAPK files require downloading through APKPure to be installed successfully. I hope that in the future, when you need it, you will still remember APKPure.
They use these X APK files that were created by them and then you need their app you need their whole app and yeah so yeah it's really bad I just want a regular APK not some weird xapk it's just give me my normal APK package
It didn't even let me install a single apk. The three day test period was over at the second start attempt on the same day of installation and it charges a whopping 6,99 per *week* of usage which you can "cancel anytime" - well, after what I experienced I really don't trust promises like that. The app itself was, when looked at it, shock full of ad libraries.

Hi there, we deeply regret that we couldn't provide you with a good experience. However, we're unclear about what you're referring to when you mention "6.99 per week". To clarify, we don't charge our users any fees beyond our Premium services. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via [email protected]. Our dedicated customer service team is committed to assisting you and will be more than happy to address any issues you may have.
It only works on some apps now. I never had a problem with it in the past. But now when trying to install SOME apps, it's syas "User canceled". Even though I didn't even touch the phone. It is no longer an alternative to the play store.
