After wandering here, I’m wondering if you pix4d team would mind offering users the ability to download apps apk files (I mean Capture and Ctrl+dji) directly from your website. The point is I’m running an un-googled smartphone (custom Lineage OS) and retrieving apps from Google Play store is kind of ruled out to me and likely a bunch of users like me!
Being forced to get up to date apks from apkpure.com is quite weird, but may it be the regular solution, I agree 
What’s your position on this point?
Bye,
Vincent.
Hello Kapil_Khanal,
the following link at the moment ist the only possible way to retrieve a set of .apk files for Pix4Dcapture.
The thing is we cannot get any fresher version than 4.5…
I am very disappointed: as I said in my initial post I won"t connect to google play store. So am I to be blamed and give up keeping up to date (4.10) this quite nice app? No, definitely Gooogle is not my friend.
Thank you for your previous reply,
V.
OK,
I finally made do with apkpure database, a pity Pix4d neglects ungoogled users…
Anyhow, thank you for this piece of useful app .
Vincent
Hey Kapil,
Is this link still good?
There is not an official Google Play APK link, but Pix4D staff shared a direct download for Pix4Dcapture v4.5 (CrystalSky & ST16/S) back in 2020 find it in the Pix4D Community thread
“Direct APK file downloads bypass app stores—use with caution to avoid security risks.”
Could you please clarify what you mean by “Direct apk files downloads”? Are you asking for websites that offer direct APK downloads, or are you requesting direct download links for specific APK files? Let me know so I can help you better!
Hi @joywalim6 @jackabroy665 @malikfaisalijaz78,
Welcome to the Pix4D Community 
Pix4D used to provide direct links to APK files. This made installation on controllers much easier.
These links have in the meantime been removed as we also removed PIX4Dcapture and PIX4Dcapture Pro from the Google Play store and Apple App Store.
PIX4Dcapture has been discontinued in 2023, and PIX4Dcapture Pro will be discontinued at the end of July 2025.
Both apps use a basemap that Pix4D stopped supporting; therefore, both apps won’t show any basemap starting from August 1st, 2025.
A detailed communication with details will be shared in the next weeks.
Thank you for understanding.
Kind regards,
Daniele

Is there a safe and official source for direct APK file downloads? I’d prefer avoiding third-party sites unless they’re trusted. Looking for recommendations!
Hi @thomasjames7844,
All the official links to the app and APKs have been removed. The app will stop working correctly on July 31st, 2025.
We recommend not using the application anymore for safety reasons.
We are actively working on providing you with alternative solutions, which will be communicated to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for understanding.

Direct APK file downloads here are possible from trusted sources like [redacted] but always verify the source to avoid malware.
Yes, this is technically possible; however, the app will stop working correctly on July 31st, 2025, no matter the source.
We recommend not using the application anymore for safety reasons.
Thank you for understanding.

Direct APK file downloads let you install apps outside of the Play Store, but be sure to only download from trusted sources to avoid security risks. Enable “Install unknown apps” in your device settings before installing.
Sure! Here’s a short and simple reply:
"Be cautious with direct APK download they can be risky. Always use trusted sources like [redacted], and scan files for malware.
Telelatino users like Vincent find APKPure helpful, but wish Pix4D supported ungoogled devices better—still, the app remains appreciated!
