Installing EvidentlySo

EvidentlySo is downloaded directly from our website, not from the Google Play Store (yet). Android asks for an extra OK when you install an app this way. Here’s how. It takes about two minutes.

You’ll need

• An Android phone [REVIEW: minimum Android version]
• A Dropbox account (a free one works if you have room)
• The license key from your purchase email

Steps

1. On your phone, open the download link in your purchase email.[Screenshot for this step]
2. Tap Download. If Chrome warns that the file might be harmful, tap Download anyway.[Screenshot for this step]
3. When the download finishes, tap Open.[Screenshot for this step]
4. Android may say your phone isn’t allowed to install unknown apps from this source. Tap Settings, turn on Allow from this source, then go back.[Screenshot for this step]
5. Tap Install. If Google Play Protect asks about the app, tap More details, then Install anyway. [REVIEW: exact wording once Android developer verification is done][Screenshot for this step]
6. Open EvidentlySo and enter your license key.[Screenshot for this step]
7. Tap Connect Dropbox and sign in.[Screenshot for this step]
8. When Android asks, allow the app to read your messages. This is how it copies them. [REVIEW: exact permission prompts][Screenshot for this step]

Updates

Because the app doesn’t come from the Play Store, it checks our site for new versions and tells you when one is ready.
