![]() No go with Google apps and games with large extension files, BBM, WhatsApp, Viber, YouTube, OneDrive, Snapchat, Trello, Skype for Business, Chrome and Evernnote. Hence, some clones may crash, display errors or experience bugs. Those apps that verify their certificates may not work properly because App Cloner changes the app certificate. In my tests, the apps I cloned worked just fine, but your experience may differ, depending on which apps you are cloning. The developer also advises against installing repackaged apks on CyanogenMod because your launcher may crash.Īnother issue is the stability of the repackaged apps. You can’t clone Chrome, but if you wish to use two instances of it you can simply install Chrome and Chrome Beta for this purpose. For example, during the repackaging the App Cloner will notify you that the app under processing uses Google Maps, a functionality that won’t be available in the cloned version. That’s not to say you can’t clone play-dependant apps, it’s just that some of their functionality won’t work. ![]() The app does not work with some apps besides WhatsApp, namely the ones that depend on Google Play services. So, you will need to repeat the cloning from time to time to keep up with the updates. The cloned apps do not affect the functionality or stability of the primary apps, but keep in mind they will not receive updates. I have cloned a few apps with the free version, and it works just fine – Dropbox, Twitter, Facebook, some games. The full version also lets you make a cloned app debuggable, use socks proxy to bypass firewall or anonymize traffic, and run TV versions of apps on phones and tablets. Of special interest are the paid features that let you save and share the repackaged apks, install new clones to SD card, clone watch faces, and create multiple app clones. The $3.99 version also lets you replace launcher icons, hide the cloned app from Recents, lock screen orientation for the specific app, copying of expansion files. You can lock the app to consume data over Wi-Fi only, password protect it, and run in Incognito Mode with secure file deletion. You can remove its widgets and disable auto-start, backups and some annoying app defaults. The paid version also lets you do a lot of nifty tricks to your cloned app. This one is awesome, yet you should be wise about restricting those permissions because some are core to the app’s functionality, and disabling them might render the app dysfunctional. ![]() ![]() The first and foremost advantage of the full version is the ability to restrict the app permissions for the second, repackaged app. If you choose to upgrade to the full version, you will be able to do so much more. Here you can change the icon color and layout, if it’s a free version of the App Cloner you are using. Pick the one you wish to duplicate and see the Settings. The app has a simple and elegant UI, where you can see the list of your installed apps. Now, back to App Cloner, its free version offers enough of a functionality to try it. ![]()
