Synkplay

Releases

• Mar 18, 2026 0.18.0
  > Apple has finally approved my developer membership, so Syncplay Mobile is officially headed to the App Store (thanks @sepsol) and Google Play! That said, the App Store listing is still pending Apple's resolution of a dispute over the app's legitimacy as an unofficial Syncplay client rather than a copycat so in the meantime AltStore remains the way to go for iOS users. A `.ipa` is also attached to this release for those who prefer sideloading on jailbroken devices, though once the App Store version goes live it'll be the recommended option. ⚠️ **This release is NOT backward-compatible with 0.17.0 — uninstall the old version before installing this one.** ## Changes - The app has been rebranded as `Synkplay` where the "k" pays homage to Kotlin, the language powering its development. - This rebrand was prompted by Apple flagging the original name as too close to the official Syncplay implementation so the new name, logo and color palette were introduced to give the mobile client its own distinct identity while remaining a fully compatible third-party implementation of the Syncplay protocol. - `Silver Lake` is now the default theme. ## Bug Fixes

  - Fixed seeking event issues on both Android and iOS. ## Translations Translations are now live on Weblate — you can contribute by visiting the [hosted Weblate project](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/syncplay-mobile/) to translate existing strings or add a new language entirely. Contributions are very welcome since I do add and edit strings fairly regularly and it's easy for some languages to fall behind. ## 🍎 iOS — How to install The app is currently under review on the App Store. If you don't want to wait, sideloading is straightforward — the guide [here](https://github.com/yuroyami/syncplay-mobile/wiki/How-to-install-the-app-on-iOS) covers both normal and jailbroken devices. ## 🤖 Android — How to install The app is on Google Play but that version may not be the latest version since Google takes its time with reviews so grabbing the APK directly from here is always the better option. If you're unsure about your device's architecture just grab the **universal** APK — it works on everything though it's the largest download. For most modern phones the `arm64-v8a` APK is the right pick and considerably smaller. If that doesn't work fall back to `armeabi-v7a`. Exotic architectures like `x86_64` or `x86` have their own dedicated builds too. If you don't need multi-engine support, `syncplay-version-exo-only.apk` ships with ExoPlayer only and is the lightest and most broadly compatible option. Personally I'd still recommend the full APK for mpv — it's the most capable engine and handles virtually any format you throw at it.
