How to install the app on Android
Android install requires Android 8.0 or later and roughly 38 MB of storage for the first download. The app is distributed through the official iplfantasynow website rather than the Google Play Store because Play's content policies currently exclude real-money fantasy cricket context. Direct APK sideloading is the standard method; the platform handles signature verification automatically. After install, the app launches with the same daily edition you see on the homepage: predicted XIs, captain shortlists, the live match desk ticker, and venue reports.
How to install the app on iOS
iOS install uses a signed TestFlight build for the editor preview track and an enterprise-signed enterprise distribution profile for full release. Open the install link on the device, accept the profile at Settings → General → VPN & Device Management, and confirm the developer trust prompt. The app is roughly 42 MB on iOS. iOS 15.4 or later is required. Push notifications default to match desk alerts and breaking squad news; in-app preferences let you switch those off individually.
Permissions and storage footprint
The app requests notifications, network access, and optional motion sensors for live-toss pitch calibration. It does not request contacts, photos, microphone, location or any background data beyond what is needed for live ticker push. Storage after a 30-day cycle stays under 80 MB because the app caches articles as text and thumbnails rather than full-resolution photographs. Clear cache from the in-app menu at any time.
Updates and changelog
Minor updates ship weekly during the IPL season; mid-week patches ship when a breaking squad news event requires a content revision. Each update adds a short release note visible on launch. Version 4.2 added the dew-factor probability band for second-innings captain picks. Version 4.1 added the live toss calibration screen. Version 4.0 introduced the multi-day editorial calendar for the IPL 2026 season. Older versions remain supported for one full season cycle.
