Getting Started with OvApp

This page explains how to download and install OvApp on an Android device.

ℹ️ OvApp is currently distributed as an APK file, not via the public app store.
You might need to allow installation from “Unknown sources” depending on your phone settings.

Download

  1. On your Android phone, open this link in your browser:

   https://oves-apks.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/artifacts/prod/oves.apk
2. The APK download should start automatically. 3. When the download finishes, you will see a notification or an entry in your browser’s download list.

Step 2 – Locate the APK File

Depending on your phone model and settings, you can find the APK in:

- The Downloads app, or
- The Files / File Manager app under “Downloads”.

Example: - Look for a file named something like:

- `oves.apk`
- `ovapp-prod.apk` (exact filename may vary by build)

Installation

Step 3 – Install OvApp

  1. Tap the OvApp APK file (oves.apk).

  2. If prompted, allow your browser or file manager to install apps from unknown sources:

    • You may see a system dialog asking to grant this permission.
    • This is required because the app is not installed via the public store.

  3. Confirm the installation and wait for it to complete.

  4. Once installed successfully:

    • The system will show “App installed”.
    • You will see the OvApp icon in your app drawer or home screen.

First Launch

  1. Tap the OvApp icon.

  2. On first launch, you may be asked to:

    • Grant Location permission (for map and routing).
    • Grant Bluetooth permission (for BLE device access).

  3. After permissions are granted, you will see:

    • Either a login screen (for Agents, Distributors, Riders), or
    • A Keypad / simple mode (for Passive Customers, depending on configuration).

You are now ready to start using OvApp. Refer to the Roles pages for details on what you can do based on your user type.
