Get the Travelling Buddies app

Install from Google Play for automatic updates, or download the APK directly if you can't use the Play Store.

Installing the APK directly

1. Tap Download APK directly above.
2. When prompted, allow your browser to install unknown apps (Settings → Apps → Special access).
3. Open the downloaded file and tap Install.

The iOS app isn't on the App Store. Because we don't run a paid Apple Developer account, you install the signed .ipa directly on your device using a free sideloading tool — it re-signs the app with your own Apple ID.

Install with AltStore (recommended, free)

1. On a Mac or Windows PC, install AltServer and the AltStore app on your iPhone/iPad (one-time setup, signs in with your Apple ID).
2. Download the .ipa above to your device (or your computer).
3. In AltStore → My Apps → tap + and choose the downloaded Travelling Buddies.ipa.
4. Open Travelling Buddies from your home screen and sign in as usual.

Prefer another tool? Sideloadly works the same way. Free sideloads are re-signed with a personal Apple ID and need re-signing about every 7 days — just re-open AltStore on Wi-Fi to refresh.

Advanced: install from source with Xcode

1. Clone the app repo and run flutter pub get, then cd ios && pod install.
2. Open ios/Runner.xcworkspace, select your device, and set a free personal team under Signing & Capabilities.
3. Press Run to build & install directly to your device (free provisioning lasts ~7 days).
