I run the desktop version of Moneydance, and upon a whim I decided to look up whether you had a version for Android in the Google Play store. I downloaded and installed it, but was informed that version 1.15 (the version on Play) was not compatible with my version of Android. Are there plans to release a compatible version?

   Hi Angus

   There is an Android beta build that may work better with newer Android phones. Note you must be running at least Android 7.1.1.
   To install:
   1. Use the Play Store app to find Moneydance.
   2. Click on the Moneydance icon to show the description of Moneydance.
   3. Scroll to the very bottom of the description and you should see
   Join the beta
   Try new features before they’re
   officially released and give your
   feedback to the developer.
   Join Learn more
   4. Click on Join and in the window that appears click JOIN.
   5. The screen now reads
   Joining beta...
   Adding your account to the
   Program. It may take a few minutes.
   6. Wait 60 seconds, then use the back key and click on the Moneydance icon again.
   7. The heading should now read Moneydance (Beta). Assuming it does click Install. If it does not go back to step 6.
   8. Once installed, start Moneydance app.
   9. The initial sync may take some time and the balances listed on the account page may be all zeros. Close the App and also the its background instance and then open the app again, balances should be OK from then on.
   The reason the initial sync takes a long time is unlike the current version the beta is syncing all Moneydance data as a prelude to expanding the mobile apps functions in a later build.

   My phone is Android 10 and it works for me.

   Hope this helps.

   Hi Derek,

   Thanks for the instructions. Everything worked out ok (took about 15 minutes to get my request for the Bets to be completed). Setting up the sync reasonably intuitive from desktop Moneydance but everything seems fine now.

   Thanks,

   Angus
