Safe installation steps

  1. Check the domains. Start from this page. The page must be on rescuepocket.com, and the file must download from downloads.rescuepocket.com.
  2. Allow this installation. Android may ask you to let the current browser “install unknown apps.” This is the normal system flow for an APK obtained from the official website.
  3. Review the system installer. The app name must be Rescue Pocket (防災口袋), with package com.rescuepocket.app. Do not ignore Android or Play Protect warnings.
  4. Remove the permission afterwards. Return to system settings and turn off “Allow from this source” for the browser to reduce the risk of installing another file by mistake.
Do not disable Play Protect or other system security features. If Android reports a damaged file, a signing mismatch, the wrong app name or a non-official source, cancel the installation and contact support.

Updating an installed version

If you already have the Google Play closed-testing build, download the newer APK and let Android install it over the existing app. The matching signing lineage preserves local app data. Still check free storage and any important offline data before updating.

When a future version is available, Rescue Pocket can show a dismissible update notice in normal mode and open this fixed official page. It never installs an APK in the background.
