Hey guys, I am creating this thread to allow us all what apps are compatible and working with the CrystalSky and which apps, just don't work. If you want me to test apps, let me know down below what I should test. Ideally they should be free apps, as testing paid apps requires me to go search for a cracked version of it.

To easily download apps, you should download both Yalp and the Amazon App Store.
Yalp is great for keeping your apps up to date, or rolling them back to an earlier version.

I will update this list as new information comes up.

Google Services: (Install first, in the order shown, if using apps requiring these)
  1. Google Play Services
  2. More Google Play Services
  3. Google Play Store
  4. Google Maps
Compatible and working:
  • Adobe apps (Yalp)
  • AirMap (Yalp)
  • Amazon Prime Video (Yalp)
  • AndFTP (Yalp)
  • B4UFly (requires Google Play software and Maps) (Yalp)
  • CM File Manager (Yalp)
  • Compass (No Ads) (Yalp)
  • Drone Code (Yalp)
  • Drone Harmony (requires Google Play software and Maps) (Download Here)
  • Facebook (Yalp)
  • Firefox Browser fast & private (Yalp)
  • Gboard - the Google Keyboard (Yalp)
  • Google Chrome (requires Google Play software) (sign in not possible) (Yalp)
  • Google Translate (Yalp)
  • Instagram (kind of) (Yalp)
  • Kodi (Yalp)
  • LightwaveRF Home Automation (Yalp)
  • Litchi (Amazon App Store)
  • MavicPilots - Mavic Forum (Yalp)
  • Netflix (Yalp)
  • Pandora Music (Yalp)
  • PolarPro Filter Calculator (Yalp)
  • SlingBox Player (Download Here)
  • UAV Forecast (Yalp)
  • VLC for Android (Yalp)
  • WolOn - Wake on LAN (Yalp)
  • YouTube (requires Google Play software) (sign in not possible) (Download Here)
Not compatible:
  • Allcast
  • Autopilot (iOS only)
  • GS Pro (iPad only)

I'm hoping someone finds a way to run an older version of GO4, ideally 4.0.7 (as that one matches the .700 firmware)

I saw on this video that Litchi works so I was wondering if perhaps GO4 needed some of those Google services that guy installed first? Might be worth a test :)

Great idea for a thread @Cyberpower678 Thumbswayup

Will you just edit the first post to keep that list at the top?

I will also respond to the comments that ask me to test an app. I think I can say with reasonable certainty that the Go4 on CS is custom designed for the CS and that Droid versions will likely constantly crash. Unfortunately that is one app, I don't wish to test because I am afraid it may delete my current version and I can't get it back.

Oh, I thought we could run multiple versions of the same app?
 
My apologies for asking what’s may seem too easy to not know, but I wasn’t able to load google play software.

So then, what am I missing?

I opened the browser, found the google play but my crystalsky still wouldn’t load it.

I’ll try it out again today after work.

Google Play does not work on the CrystalSky. What are you trying to do?

  • Litchi (requires Google Play software and Maps)
  • Netflix
So, without goggle play how do you load them?
 
I thought it didn’t work

But doesn’t the first post on this thread say it does work?
The app itself doesn't work, but some of the services are needed to get other apps to work.
little different question but with size threads are the bottom two screws?
Screw metrics aren't my thing. I would actually have to drive to Home Depot to figure that out, but I'm probably going there tomorrow anyways. I need light bulbs.

You use the CrystalSky browser and download the APKs, and install them manually. It's not difficult to do.

Thank you, but I still can’t figure it out
What are APK’s?
The litchi page says plug your tablet (I’m thinking my crystalsky) into my pc and download it to the tablet.
I would like air data but I can’t figure that out either.
And I like an editor that I wouldn’t have to make my videos public , like the sky pixel

And rudimentary help would be greatly appreciated

1) Go to the browser on the CS
2) search for apkpure.com
3) search for apkpure for the apps you want and download them to the CS
4) in "downloads" on the CS run the .apk files to install them on the CS

Note paid apps that need verification from the google play store will not work

If you want Litchi on the CS , you will need to pirate it which I don't condone.
However search for the CS installation on youtube
