Specialized software utility
XAPK is a zip file format that holds all app-related information (including APK files) in a single repository for easier setup. Built-in Android installation tools can’t handle this data type, increasing the necessity for a specialized utility. Hence, XAPK Installer comes in handy to address this inherent limitation of Android.
Free and straightforward
This program represents a quicker, more comfortable, and more reliable way of installing APKs on your Android, helping you bypass issues with large app files.
XAPK Installer is a new type of tool on the market, seeking to facilitate app installations on Android smartphones. It corrects the errors that occur when you try to set up XAPKs using the operating system's default app installer.
The setup process requires you to allow 'unknown options' in your Settings. It will also ask for multiple permissions, but the program is still safe to use, as proven by various official antivirus tests performed on it.
When it comes to its original function, the process is seamless and hands-off. Once you download and scan an XAPK file, the program will automatically extract the necessary OBB file data and immediately launch an installation.
The program also works as a scanning tool, displaying every app in your storage space both on the phone and SD card. If you no longer need an application, this program can delete it, as well as all its cache.
The simplified user interface lists your apps in one place and offers you straightforward navigation through its contents. Using XAPK Installer is a simple procedure with almost no learning curve from the get-go.
Where can you run this program?
This program runs on Android 5.0 and above, as well as some emulators.
Is there a better alternative?
Yes, because XAPK Installer doesn’t give you many configuration options. APK Installer Pro is a bit more comprehensive, and UptoDown doubles as an app store. If you want to use your XAPK files on the desktop, try Pure APK Install.
Our take
Overall, this tool is straightforward and powerful enough to be useful to anybody installing apps from alternative sources and archived APK installation files. It performs its functions seamlessly and really well.
Should you download it?
Yes, if you prefer this file format or want more variety in your available app selection. It’s not a full-fledged manager, but it still makes installing apps on your phone a bit easier.
