Frequently Asked Questions
How long does installation take?
About five minutes on any device. The APK is small, and the only extra step is granting the one-time permission to install apps from outside the Play Store.
Do I need a computer?
No. Everything happens on the TV or phone itself using a browser or the Downloader app.
Is sideloading safe?
Sideloading itself is just installing an app manually. It is safe as long as the APK comes from the developer's official site — which is exactly what this page links to.
The install button is greyed out. What now?
This usually means the unknown-sources permission was not granted to the app you opened the APK with. Grant it in Settings, then reopen the file. More fixes are in our troubleshooting guide.
