A file with .xapk extension is a compressed package file. It is a container file format that incorporates APK and additional associated files required for the installation. The XAPK format was introduced to package the APK file and OBB file together for a seamless delivery and installation process. XAPK format can help reduce the package size of application. On mobile phones, users need to install the XAPK installer first, and then install XAPK files through that installer. You can find the installer here:<a href="https://apkcombo.com/how-to-install/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://apkcombo.com/how-to-install/</a>.

Comments about The Local Android Version

Technically, the app works but you can only find limited recent stories arranged by date. At times, there are several news headline categories IF the you can find the categories in setting. Sometimes, the categories can be found in settings but like today, it's nonexistent. My biggest complaint is the lack of being able to search the data base for specific stories previously posted or even a general word search.

I paid for the subscription for two years. The app is bad and hasn't changed in my time using it. The local features good articles. In my personal view (you can disagree) a good mobile app should be accessible at this price point. Two years of financial support through subscription and many similar complaints (look at the reviews here) didn't change things. Now, seemingly all website articles hide behind a adblocker wall. Bye bye...

It's just a simplified view of the web app content. While friendliness with mobile screens is a plus, it misses a lot of features that modern news reader apps offer to enrich the reading experience. I was considering a subscription but without a high quality mobile app I might not be able to make the most out of the membership investment.
