Android app

MyTripWise is coming soon to Google Play and other app stores. Until then, you can install the app directly from this site with an APK file. It is the same service as the website, in full screen, with an icon on your home screen.

Step-by-step installation

1. Download the file with the button above, from your phone.
2. Open the downloaded file (download notification, or the Files app).
3. If Android says installing unknown apps is blocked, tap “Settings” and allow installation for the app you are using (Chrome, Files…). You can remove this permission afterwards.
4. Tap “Install”. If Play Protect says the app is not recognised, it is because it does not come from the Play Store yet: choose “Install anyway”.
5. Tap “Open”, or start the app from your home screen.

Why a file to install yourself?

An Android app is usually installed from Google Play. Until it is published there, Android treats it as coming from an “unknown source” and asks for permission. This is nothing unusual: it is the standard procedure for any app distributed outside a store.

Security and verification

Download the file only from this page. It is signed by MyTripWise by Rably. To check that it has not been modified, compare its SHA-256 fingerprint with this one:

65aa2b2e7129f658f7b450d5b7550ce1dcb72b0c77b53058548aa4a29ed327e6

On a computer: sha256sum MyTripWise.apk (Linux, Mac) or Get-FileHash MyTripWise.apk (Windows).

Updates

The app displays the website: travel rules and new features appear without reinstalling anything. A new APK file is only needed if the app itself changes; we will say so here. Once on Google Play, it will update by itself.

Notifications

Alerts arrive by email and, once turned on in Settings › Notifications, straight on your phone.

Compatibility

Android 7.0 or newer. On iPhone, open the site in Safari and use “Add to Home Screen”.

Uninstalling

Long-press the icon, then “Uninstall”. Your account and trips stay saved on the site.
