Android beta
Put Hopdio on your phone
This build is handed out by invite while the app is still being shaped. Make an account with the code you were sent. That same account signs you into the app and carries your library between devices.
Already have Hopdio? Pick I have an account on the form. It asks for the address and password you already use, with the same invite code, and signs you in rather than making you a second account. You only need to come here when a new build changes something native. Everything else arrives on its own, and opening the app twice is enough.
Installing it
Android asks before it lets a browser install anything, which is the phone doing its job rather than something being wrong. It asks once, and only about this download.
- Download the APK using the button beside this. It is about a hundred megabytes, so use Wi-Fi.
- Open it from the notification, or from Downloads if you dismissed it.
- Allow this source. Android offers a settings screen. Turn on "Allow from this source" for your browser and press back. You are only trusting the app that did the download.
- Install over the top of the copy you already have, if you have one. Your library and your place in everything stay put. Uninstalling first throws both away.
- Open Hopdio and sign in with that same email and password.
- Play Protect may warn you that it does not recognise the developer. It says that about every app not from the Play Store. "Install anyway" is the way past it.
What to expect
It is a beta and it says so: developer utilities are switched on, and there is a testing panel in Settings that records what you tap so a bug can be reported with its own trail. Updates arrive over the air, so opening the app twice is enough to be running the new one. A new download is only needed when something changes in the native build, and you will be told.
Something wrong? Tell us on the support page. It reaches a person.
Get the build
Android only for now. The iOS build needs TestFlight, which is not open yet.
