How to install PlayFlex on your Android phone

The phone app is the one that holds your movies and sends them to the TV. You download it from techpp.app and Android asks you to say yes a couple of times. Screens are from a Pixel on Android 16.
You need
- An Android phone
- The phone on Wi-Fi
Steps
Open the link
In Chrome on your phone, go to
techpp.app/playflex-phone.

Chrome says the file might be harmful. It says that for every app from outside the Play Store. Tap Download anyway, then tap Open when it's done.

Android asks once before it installs apps from your browser. Tap Settings, then turn on Allow from this source.

Questions
Why isn't PlayFlex in the Play Store?
It's a small free app I share straight from techpp.app.
Why does Play Protect warn me?
It warns about any app it hasn't seen before. Scanning it is fine.
Will Android ask again for updates?
No. You already allowed your browser, so updates install straight away.
