Get the app on your phone

1. Open the app at beachcombersmania.online/app in Chrome (Android) or Safari (iPhone).
2. Android: tap the ⋮ menu at the top right and choose Add to Home screen or Install app, then Install. iPhone: tap the Share button at the bottom and choose Add to Home Screen, then Add.
3. Open it from your home screen. It runs full screen like any app, keeps your collection on the phone, and picks up every update on its own. No app store, no file to download, no security prompts.

The APK is the same app as a file you install yourself. Because it does not come from the Play Store, Android shows two standard prompts along the way — Chrome's “this type of file can harm your device” and Play Protect's “install anyway.” Those appear for every app installed outside the Play Store; they are not about this app. The file is signed by Cook AI Ventures LLC and its checksum is listed below so you can verify it.

1. Tap “Download the APK for Android.” Chrome saves BeachCombersMania.apk to your Downloads. If Chrome warns that this type of file can harm your device, tap Download anyway — that message appears for every app that isn't from the Play Store.
2. Open the downloaded file. Tap the download notification, or open the Files app and tap BeachCombersMania.apk in Downloads.
3. Allow installs from Chrome when asked. The first time, Android shows “For your security, your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source.” Tap Settings, turn on Allow from this source, then go back and tap Install. If Google Play Protect asks, tap Install anyway — this prompt is expected once.
4. Open the app. Tap Open when the install finishes, or find the 🐚 BeachCombersMania icon on your home screen. Pick your region and start shelling.
