Works on all Android phones & tablets (Android 5.0+)

1

Download the APK

  • Go to the app's page and tap the Download button.
  • Chrome may show a warning — "This type of file can harm your device" — this is a standard Android message, not a real threat.
  • Tap "Download anyway" or "OK" to proceed. The download will start immediately.
  • Once complete, the file will appear in your notification bar.
💡 Tip: We recommend using Chrome browser for the smoothest download experience.

Enable Unknown Sources Permission

  • Tap the downloaded APK file — Android will ask for permission to install it.

  • If Settings didn't open automatically: go to Settings → Apps → Chrome (or your browser) → Install Unknown Apps → Allow.
  • Go back to the previous screen to continue installation.
⚠️ Note: This permission only applies to the browser you used to download — it does not affect your entire phone. It is completely safe.

Common Problems & Solutions

❌ "App not installed" error?

An older version of the same app is likely already installed. Uninstall the existing version first, then try again. Also ensure you have at least 200MB of free storage space.

🛡️ Google Play Protect warning?

Play Protect flagged the app — tap "More details" → "Install anyway (unsafe)". All apps on our platform have been verified and are safe to install.

⏬ Download not starting or keeps stopping?

Check your internet connection and try again. Clear your browser cache, or switch to another browser (Firefox, Opera). You can also use the Downloader app for a more reliable download.

📺 App not opening on TV?

Some apps are designed for phones only and may not fully support TV interfaces. Try enabling "Allow display over other apps" in the app's Settings, or install via ADB for better compatibility.

🔥 Fire Stick: "There is a problem parsing the package"?

The APK file may be corrupted or incomplete. Re-download the file and try again. Also make sure the APK is compatible with Android 5.1+ — Fire Stick does not support older APK formats.
