What you need
An Android phone or tablet running Android 7 or newer, and a connection to download the installer once.
The app is a single install file (an APK). You do not need a Google account to install it, and it is free to download.
Check your version: More, then About. The version number there tells you which release you are running.
Download
- Open Download on this site.
- Tap Download APK. Your browser saves the installer to the phone.
- Wait for the download to finish. The file is a few tens of megabytes, so give it a moment on a slow connection.
If the button says the file is not available, the install has no upload yet: contact us and we will send you the current file.
Allow the install
Android blocks installs that do not come from the Play Store, so the first time you will be asked to allow your browser to install apps:
- Open the downloaded file from your Downloads list or the files notification.
- Android shows For your security, your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source.
- Tap Settings, then switch on Allow from this source.
- Go back and tap Install.
You only do this once. The next install from the same browser will not ask again.
Open it and sign in
Tap Open once the install finishes, then either create your account or sign in if you already have one.
The first open may take a little longer while the app sets itself up. If an update is ready you will see an Update available prompt: tap Restart now to apply it, or Later to keep working and pick it up next time.
Keeping it up to date
Updates arrive in the app itself and install over your existing data: nothing is lost, and you are not asked to download a file again.
| What | What happens |
|---|---|
| A small fix or new feature | The app checks when you open it and offers Restart now. |
| A change you must have | The prompt stays until you accept it. |
| No connection | The check is skipped quietly and tries again later. |
