How to Install SpotiDown on Android

Installing apps outside Google Play is standard and safe on Android. Follow this 2-minute step-by-step walkthrough to get SpotiDown running on your phone.

1

Download the SpotiDown APK

Tap the download button below to save the latest APK directly to your phone. If your browser displays a notice like "File might be harmful", tap Download anyway (this is a default Android message for all direct downloads).

📥 Download SpotiDown APK (47MB)
2

Open the Downloaded File

When the download is finished, swipe down your notification tray and tap spotidown.apk. Alternatively, open your browser's Downloads menu or your phone's Files app and tap the file.

3

Allow "Install Unknown Apps"

If you have not sideloaded an APK from Chrome or your browser before, Android will ask for permission:

Prompt: "For your security, your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source."
👉 Tap Settings $\rightarrow$ Toggle "Allow from this source" $\rightarrow$ Tap the back button.
4

Google Play Protect: Tap "Install Anyway"

Google Play Protect may show a warning like "Unrecognized app" or "Blocked by Play Protect" because SpotiDown is hosted independently on our website rather than the Play Store.

👉 Tap "More details" (or "See more") $\rightarrow$ Tap "Install anyway".

SpotiDown is 100% clean, verified, and free of spyware, malware, or ads.

5

Open SpotiDown & Enjoy Offline Music!

Tap Open once the install is complete. When prompted, allow music/storage access so SpotiDown can save 320kbps MP3s directly to your device's Music/SpotiDown folder.

🎉 Done! Copy any Spotify track, album, or playlist link and start downloading offline music!
