Program

The Android APK for QDockX is available in the latest release section. You will NOT find this on the Play Store. Publishing and maintaining an App on the store is a nightmare. So it's distributed as an APK.

• To install you will have to enable unknown apps on your device.
• Also remember to grant the permissions (microphone) so the app will be able to transmit audio.
• You don't have to grant file access, that's just there because of the language export function that's not yet implemented.

• APK-file of QDockX-releases

• Readme instructions

Tip

If you would like to test QDockX. Install BlueStacks on your PC

This is a virtual Andoid environment that run on a Windows Operating system
