**TL;DR:** This guide explains how to access, navigate, and install apps from your organization's Applivery App Store on Android.

## Access & Login

Sometimes you will be required to authenticate in order to access the App Store or a given App. Depending on your organization's configuration, there will be one or multiple Authentication options:

1.  **Traditional login or LDAP:** Enter your email or corporate user name and password. Then click the green **Next** button to proceed.
    
2.  **Single-Sign On:** If available, a green button with the text **Login with Company Name** will be displayed at the top of the login screen. Click on it, and you will be redirected to the Single-Sign-On screen where you can securely enter your corporate login credentials.

### Recovery password

In case you have lost your password, click the **I forgot my password** link from the login screen and **type your email address** in the prompted pop-up. You will receive an email with the instructions to reset your password.

## Navigation, Search, Language, and Sharing

### Navigation

Once you access the App Store, all Publications you have permission to view will be listed under the **Apps** section. You can adjust how they are displayed—by **Publication**, **App**, or **Build**.

### Searching Apps

You can filter the list of Apps by clicking the magnifier icon at the top. Depending on the tab you are in, you’ll find several filter options, including **version**, **version code**, **slug**, **tags**, **package name**, and **changelog**.

### Change language

Applivery is available in 10 different languages. It automatically detects your operating system's default language and applies it if available. If not, the default language (English) will be automatically selected. You can change the language at any time from the **More options > Change language** menu located at the top right of the App Store.

### Sharing options

You can share the link to a given App with others in many different ways (QR Code, URL, or through your favourite native Apps). Once inside an App follow these steps:

**Open the App's More Options Menu**

Tap the **More options** in the top right menu.

**Select the Share Option**

From the drop-down menu, select the **Share** option.

**Choose Your Sharing Method**

All sharing options will be displayed next, including a unique URL and QR code. You can also tap the **Share to…** option to display the native sharing options to share the App with others through the social Apps installed on your Device.
