Yes it does work with APKs.

Well, it should. It kept having issues with the only APK I had on hand, but when I just pulled some DEX files out and loaded them it handled them just fine (including decompilation)

Direct APK doesn't work at the moment (I've tried with 3 apks), just unzip it and work with the DEX file.
