fi[x]in for
Android.

fi[x]in for Android is live on Google Play. The signed APK is still published on our releases page if you'd rather install it directly, but Play is now the easiest way to get it and keeps you updated automatically.

This is the same product, not a cut-down port. Photos are diagnosed on the phone by fi[x]in's named engines — Sapphire 4.8 by default on paid plans, with Emerald 5.3 for broader diagnosis, and Sapphire 4.3 on the free plan — and a diagnosis works with no connection at all. You can start without an account, describe a problem in words when a photo won't do, and work through any of the 2,262 built-in repair guides as a worksheet that exports to PDF.

Settings › Diagnosis Engine lists the newest version of each engine your plan includes, with earlier ones under Other Models, and the engine badge on the Diagnosis screen switches between them. fi[x]in also reads trouble codes and live engine data from a Bluetooth OBD-II adapter, sold separately. What changed in each version is in the Release Notes.

Installing the APK

Android blocks installs from outside the Play Store by default. When you open the downloaded file your phone will ask whether to allow installs from your browser — that prompt is expected. The build is signed by AM Solutions, and you can verify the release on our public GitHub releases page. The direct APK can be a version behind Google Play.

Known gaps versus iOS

  • — Your diagnoses and projects stay on the phone they were made on; cloud backup and restore move them to a new one
  • — No Hire a Professional yet — Find a Technician searches the web instead
  • — Dictating a description works on the photo screen, not yet in the Describe tab
  • — The APK does not auto-update — reinstall to move to a newer build

Running into something broken? A bug report from an Android device is genuinely more useful to us right now than one from iOS — there are far fewer of them and the hardware varies far more.
