How to install an .apk file

An APK is an Android app installer. These Haynes Apps downloads support Android 8.0 or newer.

  1. Download on your phone. Visit haynesapps.win and tap Download Android app on the app you want. If you downloaded it on a computer, transfer the APK to your phone first.
  2. Open the download. Tap the completed download in your browser, or open Files / My Files → Downloads and tap the file ending in .apk. You do not need to unzip it.
  3. Allow this installation source if prompted. Tap Settings in the prompt, then turn on Allow from this source for the browser or file manager opening the APK.
  4. Install and launch. Return to the APK, tap Install, then Open. The app also appears in your phone’s app list.
  5. Turn the source permission back off. Usually: Settings → Apps → Special app access → Install unknown apps. Select the browser or file manager you allowed and turn off Allow from this source.
Need help installing?

Settings names vary by phone. If the download opens in Files rather than Chrome, permission applies to Files. If you see “App not installed,” check available storage, Android version, and that the download finished. For an update, install over the existing app to retain its saved data; uninstalling can erase progress.

If a security warning or device policy blocks installation, review the exact message with a parent or device administrator. Keep Play Protect enabled. You can use Open app in your browser instead.

Install downloads you intended to get from a source you trust. Children should ask a parent before changing installation permissions.

IPHONE & IPAD

Add the web app to your home screen

The iPhone option is a web app that opens from an app icon. It does not use an Android APK or require an App Store download.

  1. Open the app in Safari. On this website, tap the app’s iPhone / home screen link.
  2. Open the Share menu. Tap Safari’s Share button, then choose Add to Home Screen. Scroll the Share sheet if needed.
  3. Add the icon. Confirm the name and tap Add. If Safari offers Open as Web App, leave it enabled.
  4. Prepare for offline use. Open the new home-screen icon while online and wait for Ready offline before disconnecting.
Where is my saved progress?

Each app saves on the current device, in that app or browser. Android, Safari, and home-screen web apps may keep separate saves; progress does not automatically sync. Clearing app or browser storage can remove it.

Prefer the browser? Tap Open app and start using it immediately. Offline availability begins after the game finishes its first successful online setup.
