Not sure which APK to take? Use the universal `BitChord-v1.9.1.apk`. The smaller ones are `arm64-v8a` (most phones), `armeabi-v7a` (old 32-bit phones) and `x86_64` (emulators, Chromebooks).\r\n\r\n**Android TV / Google TV / Fire TV** (8.0 / API 26+): installs over v1.9 TV, or updates from inside the app. Use the universal `BitChordTV-v1.9.1.apk`, or the smaller `BitChordTV-v1.9.1_armeabi-v7a.apk`, which suits most TVs and streaming sticks (`arm64-v8a` for newer boxes like the Shield or Chromecast with Google TV).\r\n\r\n**Wear OS** (Wear OS 3+): the watch app ships inside the phone app. Install or update it from Settings > BitChord for Wear OS.\r\n\r\nSupport Channel (Discord)\r\nhttps://discord.gg/pSafNTyKZx\r\n"},"readme":true,"readme_zh":false,"news":[{"title":"Dixit Jani on X: \"Just tried Bitchord, and I'm genuinely liking it!
