First Krita Beta for Android and ChromeOS in Play Store

Published    5/23/2020

Thanks to the hard work of Sharaf Zaman, Krita is now available in the Google Play Store for Android tablets and Chromebooks (not for Android phones).

This beta, based on Krita 4.2.9, is the full desktop version of Krita, so it doesn’t have a special touch user interface. But it’s there, and you can play with it.

Unlike the Windows and Steam store, we don’t ask for money for Krita in the store, since it’s the only way people can install Krita on those devices, but you can buy a supporter badge from within Krita to support development.

You can read here the official instructions on getting beta releases in Google’s Play Store. (It’s not hard at all! Just go to “ Early access ” and search for org.krita. Until we’ve got a reasonable number of downloads, you’ll have to scroll down a bit.)

NOTE: if you have installed one of Sharaf’s builds or a build you’ve signed yourself, you need to uninstall that first, for all users!
