Install the Touchcric APK on Android

Touchcric is not in the Play Store, so the app is an APK file downloaded from this page. Getting it onto the phone takes about two minutes, and the phone asks for one permission on the way.

You might not need this page.

On most phones, pinning Touchcric to the home screen is faster: no file, no permissions, three taps.

Come here when that did not work, or when you want the APK itself.

Download the Touchcric APK

touchcric.apk · 564 KB

1Download the file

Tap the button above.

Chrome warns that this type of file can harm your device. It says that about every app that does not come from the Play Store. Tap Download anyway.

2Open it

When the download finishes, tap Open in the notification.

If the notification is gone, open the Files (or Downloads) app and tap touchcric.apk in the Downloads folder.

3Allow it, then install

The phone says it is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source. Every Android phone says so the first time.

Tap Settings in that message, turn on Allow from this source, and go back.

Tap Install.

If Google Play Protect puts up its own warning, tap More details, then Install anyway.

No message, or the switch will not move?

The same permission lives in Settings. Pick your phone:

Samsung

Settings → Apps → three dots (top right) → Special access → Install unknown apps

Turn on the app the file was opened with, usually Chrome or My Files.

Xiaomi / Redmi / Poco

Settings → Privacy protection → Special permissions → Install unknown apps

Turn on the app the file was opened with, usually Chrome or File Manager.

Oppo / Realme / OnePlus

Settings → Privacy → Special app access → Install unknown apps

Turn on the app the file was opened with, usually Chrome or Files.

Other Android phones

Settings → Apps → Special app access → Install unknown apps

Turn on the app the file was opened with, usually Chrome or Files.

Fastest of all: open Settings and search for unknown.

✓Done

Touchcric is in your app list and on the home screen. Open it and tap a match, the same as on the site.

If something is different on your phone

The permission is on and the install is still blocked

The permission belongs to the app that opened the file, not the one that downloaded it. Downloaded with Chrome but opened from Files? Then Files is the one that needs the switch.

Go back to the phone list in step 3 and turn on that app.

"App not installed"

An older Touchcric app on the phone is blocking the new one: uninstall it first. If there is none, the phone is most likely low on space; remove something you no longer use and try again.

You cannot find the downloaded file

It is in the Downloads folder of the Files app, under the name touchcric.apk.
