Android APK files

It would be interresting to be able to download the APK file instead of beeing watched by Google. Like the old way!!!

    Hi! I totally get the issue—on a 4K display, Genie’s interface text can be really tiny.

    Unfortunately, if Genie doesn’t offer built-in font scaling or UI zoom settings, your best bet is to adjust your system display scaling. Here’s how:

    • Windows: Go to Display SettingsScale and layout → increase scaling to 150% or 200%.
    • macOS: Go to System SettingsDisplays → choose Scaled and select a more readable resolution.

    If Genie is a browser-based tool, try using Ctrl + or Cmd + to zoom in.

    Also, consider reaching out to the Genie support team—this seems like something they should support natively for high-DPI screens.

    Hope that helps!

  • You can definitely download and install APK files on your Android device outside of the Google Play Store. This process is called "sideloading," and it gives you more control over where you get your apps.

    Here is how you can do it, along with an important security warning.
