This is not on the Play Store, so Android will check twice that you meant it. Both
warnings are normal and neither means anything is wrong:
Open the downloaded file. Android asks whether your browser is allowed to
install apps. Say yes — you only do this once.
Play Protect says it does not recognise the app. It says that about
everything that did not come from the Play Store. Tap Install anyway, or
More details first if that button is hidden.
Add a widget. Long-press an empty part of your home screen, tap
Widgets, find PokéWidget, and drag one out.
On Windows
Run the downloaded installer. Windows may say it protected your PC, because
the app is not signed by a big publisher. Click More info, then
Run anyway.
Make a widget and put it on the desktop. It sits on your wallpaper under your
open apps; drag it anywhere, pull its corner to resize it, or pin it to keep it on top
of everything.
New in 1.6
On Windows. Widgets sit right on your desktop, under your apps — or pinned on
top of everything. Drag one anywhere, pull its corner to resize it, and it’s still there
after a restart.
Surprise me. Each tap swaps in a random Pokémon with its cry — from every
Pokémon, or from up to ten of your own picks.
Use my location for live forms, instead of typing a city. Asked for only when
you tap it, and only the city is kept.
Live forms keep the city’s clock. Lycanroc, Shaymin and friends follow the
time of day where your chosen city is, not where you are.
Nothing waits on a tap. Your picks, every live form and the shiny or back
sprite a tap switches to are downloaded ahead, cries included.
What it does
Every Pokémon, in whichever game's art you like — Emerald, Diamond and Pearl,
HeartGold and SoulSilver, Black and White, Scarlet and Violet, and the animated
Showdown set.
Sprites really animate on the home screen, with no background service and no
battery cost.
Tap one to hear its cry. Shiny, female and back sprites wherever the games had
them, and any sprite can face either way.
Pair it with a trainer from any region, on a battlefield from the games — or keep it
on its own, exactly as before.
Castform and friends change form with the real weather, in a city you choose.
Once a sprite has downloaded once, it keeps working with no connection at all.

It is a beta, and a sideloaded app cannot update itself — new versions are announced
there. It is also where install help, bug reports and home-screen screenshots go.
