Carry the
Realms with you.
The Nine Realms student app gives enrolled students direct access to their training, progress, audio journeys, lessons, certificates and materials on an Android phone or tablet.
Install the app, including Android’s security screens.
The app is installed directly from Nine Realms Institute rather than Google Play. Because of that, Android may show several security screens before it allows installation. Follow this guide only when you downloaded the file from this official page.
The exact wording may be slightly different on Samsung, Pixel and other Android phones. You may not see every screen below, and some screens may appear in a different order.
Download the app.
Tap the gold Download the Android App button on this page. Your phone will download a file ending in .apk.
Confirm the download.
Your browser may ask whether you want to download the file. Tap Download or Download anyway, then open the downloaded file.
Open the downloaded file.
After the download finishes, tap Open. If that message has disappeared, open your browser menu and choose Downloads, or open the phone’s Files / Downloads folder and tap the Nine Realms .apk file.
Allow installation from your browser.
If Android blocks the file, tap Settings. Find Allow from this source and switch it on for the browser or Files app you used to open the download. Then press Back to return to the installation.
Return and tap install.
After allowing installation, Android may return you to the file automatically. If it does not, tap the downloaded APK again. When the Nine Realms installation screen appears, tap Install.
If Google Play Protect appears.
You may see a Google warning because the app is not from Google Play. Only when you downloaded it from this official page, tap See details or More details, then choose Install anyway if your phone offers that option.
Open and sign in.
When installation completes, tap Open. Sign in with your student account or request a secure email login link. The app will show the Realms already connected to your account.
Switch permission off again.
After the app is installed, you may return to Settings → Install unknown apps and switch off Allow from this source for your browser. The Nine Realms app will remain installed.
Continue your journey.
Your progress is connected to your student account. Lessons completed on the website and in the app will appear in the same training journey.
A private student app. Not an open marketplace app.
If your phone hesitates.
“For your security…”
This means Android is asking permission for the app that opened the file — usually Chrome, Samsung Internet or Files — to install this APK. Tap Settings, switch on Allow from this source, then return to the download.
Play Protect blocks the app.
If you downloaded the APK from this official page and the warning offers See details or More details, open it and tap Install anyway. If no install option exists, do not turn off your phone’s protections: contact support.
I cannot find the downloaded file.
Open your phone’s Files or Downloads app, or open the browser menu and choose Downloads. Tap the Nine Realms file ending in .apk.
Do I need an APK installer?
No additional installer should normally be needed. Current Android phones install APK files from the browser or Downloads folder. Do not download an unknown third-party APK installer.
“App not installed.”
Delete the incomplete download and download the app again from this page. If you previously installed a Nine Realms test version, contact support before removing it so you receive the correct next step.
The install button is unavailable.
A managed work/school phone, family-control setting or advanced device security setting may forbid direct APK installation. In that case, this installation method may not work on that phone.
I do not see the same words.
Samsung, Google Pixel, Xiaomi and other manufacturers use different wording. Look for phrases such as Settings, Install unknown apps, Allow from this source, See details and Install anyway.
The app will not open.
Confirm that you installed the latest version from this official page. If the problem continues, contact support with your phone model and a screenshot of the message shown.
Do not continue if you received the APK from anywhere other than this official page, if your phone identifies the file as harmful without offering a normal installation route, or if you are unsure which permission your phone is asking you to approve.
Your training. Your progress.
Your threshold, carried with you.
Install the Android student app, sign in, and continue the Realms already open to you.
