arm64 or armv7

These are two builds for two kinds of phone processor. Most phones sold since 2017 are arm64. Pick arm64 unless you know your phone is older or the install fails.

If arm64 says the app is not compatible, use the armv7 file. Both builds have the same features.

How to install

  1. Download the APK on your phone.
  2. Open the file from your notifications or your Downloads folder.
  3. Android asks to allow installs from this source. Tap Settings, turn on Allow from this source, then go back.
  4. Tap Install. Then open Flikker and add your playlist.

The exact wording differs by phone maker. On older Android versions the switch is called Unknown sources in Settings under Security.
