How to install the pre-release (Android only)

This version installs directly as an APK because it’s not yet on Google Play. It’s safe and signed by us.

  1. Download the app: Tap the button above on your Android phone.
  2. Open the file: Tap the download notification, or open Files → Downloads and tap the APK.
  3. If you see “Install blocked” or “Unknown source”: Tap Settings and Allow from this source (Chrome or Files), then tap Install. (You can turn that setting off after.)
  4. Open the app: Allow notifications, log in from Settings, then choose your locations and topics in Notifications.

What to expect in V2

Coming soon: Version 2 in January 2026 with more features.

We are excited to be already working on the PVDN App V2! In January, app users will have the ability to design their own app news feed. Choose the categories and topics that interest you, making it easier to view the stories that matter to you more quickly when you open your news app.

App users will also have the ability to customize a morning and news brief for the topics and locations they care most about.

We will also be rolling out dark mode and the ability for users to adjust font size to their comfort level.

Public launch on Google Play is planned for November 2025. The iOS app is also planned for November 2025.
