Joost on Android (small)

Don’t have an iPhone to run Joost on?

Not to worry. We’re happy to provide a sneak peak at yet another platform you can play our content on, and introduce our Joost Android client.

The app provides all the features you might know from the iPhone:

  • Browse by category, like anime, comedy, drama or sci-fi
  • Check out the “Popular” videos to see what people are watching
  • Find out what our team likes in “Joost Picks”
  • Or Search for a specific title or video name

Unfortunately we are still having some issues with video playback of some of our videos, and thus we’re not quite ready to put it on the Android Market yet. But in the meantime, if you are feeling adventurous or just cannot wait :), you can try it out by following the steps below.

  1. On your phone, open the Settings.
  2. Navigate to “Applications”.
  3. Ensure that “Unknown sources” is checked. This will allow you to install apps from places other than the Market.
  4. On your phone, open the browser.
  5. Direct your phone’s browser to this blog post. The QR code below links directly here.
  6. Then tap this link. It links directly to the app, and your phone will start downloading and installing it. You will be asked for confirmation first.
