Installation

Using an F-Droid client and MM20's repo

The preferred way of installation is using the F-Droid application. That way you will always be notified about updates. Kvaesitso is available in the official F-Droid repository, but all features depending on non-foss external APIs were removed. For feature-complete builds you can add MM20's repository. Just scan the code below or open the link on your phone:

https://fdroid.mm20.de/repo/

The same version is also available in IzzyOnDroid's repository.

Manual installation

You can also download the latest release from the releases page and install it manually.

Report issues

If you notice any bugs or issues create a new issue in the issue tracker. Before you do, please search the existing issues for any similar issues.

These information can be founder under Settings > Debug > Crash reporter and Settings > Debug > Export debug information.

Feature requests

If you have an idea for a new feature, just create a new issue. However, there is no guarantee that they will be implemented. If it's important for you, consider implementing it yourself, see contribute.

Contribute

Contributions are always welcome. If you want to fix any existing issues or implement smaller new features just create a new pull request. If you plan to implement any (bigger) new features, please create an issue first so we can discuss if and how this feature should be implemented.
