Get the app
The Orienteering beta is distributed privately through the stores' tester programmes. Installation needs a tester link; authority inside the app always comes from your signed-in account, never from the link itself.
Android (Google Play closed testing)
Android 12 or newer. Ask your beta coordinator for the closed-testing link, join with the Google account you use on your phone, then install from Google Play.
Updates arrive through Google Play like any other app.
iPhone (TestFlight)
iOS 17 or newer. Install Apple's TestFlight app, then open the TestFlight link your beta coordinator shares.
TestFlight follows Android once the Android pipeline has been proven.
Before your first Race
Sign in on your phone with the same email you verified here. The app will ask for precise location while you prepare, and it downloads a bounded offline map pack for the Race before you start, so it works without signal on the trail.
