⚠️ This app is highly experimental. It is a community-built, early test version — expect rough edges, bugs, and things that don't work yet. It is not on the Google Play Store, so your phone will warn you before installing it. Only install it if you're happy to try unfinished software. The website chat works great in any phone browser if you'd rather not.
The Android app gives you native chat with voice and video calls, notifications, file sharing and your profile — all talking to the same Autism Forge as the website. Pick the download that matches your device:
| Download | Which one do I need? |
|---|---|
| Modern phone (arm64) | Almost every Android phone or tablet from about 2017 onwards. If you're not sure, start here. |
| Older phone (arm 32-bit) | Older or budget phones. Try this if the "modern phone" one says it can't be installed. |
| Emulator / Chromebook (x86_64) | An Android emulator on a PC, or a rare x86 tablet / some Chromebooks. |
| One that just works (universal) | Works on any device but is a bigger download. Use it if none of the above install. |
How to install
- Tap the download for your device above and let it finish.
- Open the downloaded
.apkfile (from your notifications or Downloads). - Android will warn that it's from an "unknown source" and not from Google — that's normal for a community app. Allow the install if you're happy to.
- Open Autism Forge, and sign in with your forum username and password (or make an account right in the app).
