Last updated: July 6, 2026

Welcome to Sweekar! This guide walks you through everything you need to get started: installing the app, pairing your device, and using it day to day. Follow the parts in order — download first, then set up your device, then explore what it can do.

PART 1 Downloading the App

Who this is for: first-time users installing the Sweekar beta on an iPhone or Android phone.

Recommended If you have an iPhone, we recommend installing Sweekar on iOS. The iOS app is currently the more complete and stable experience, while the Android version is still being optimized — so please choose iPhone whenever you can for the smoothest setup.

1. Before you begin

Take a moment to confirm the following:

Know your phone's system: iPhones run iOS; most other brands run Android.
iPhone users: make sure you're signed in with your Apple ID.
Android users: make sure you're signed in to your Google account (needed if we deliver updates through Google Play).

2. iPhone (iOS) ▶ Watch the video guide

Step 1 — Install TestFlight

TestFlight is Apple's official app for installing beta versions. You'll need it before you can install the Sweekar beta.

Option A — From the App Store

1. Open the App Store on your iPhone.

2. Search for “TestFlight”.

3. Select TestFlight, published by Apple.

4. Tap Get and finish installing.

Option B — From our invite link

1. Tap the Sweekar invite link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/MkEcR1Jn

2. If TestFlight isn't installed yet, the page will prompt you to install it first.

3. Follow the prompt to the App Store and complete the installation.

Step 2 — Install the Sweekar beta

Once TestFlight is installed:

1. Tap the Sweekar invite link, or open the invitation email.

2. The page opens in TestFlight.

3. Tap Accept to join the beta.

4. Tap Install to download Sweekar.

5. When it's done, find the Sweekar icon on your home screen and open it.

Keeping Sweekar up to date

When a new version is released:

1. Open TestFlight.

2. Find Sweekar.

3. If you see an Update button, tap it.

Good to know Please keep Sweekar on the latest version during the beta — older builds can behave unexpectedly.

iPhone troubleshooting

TestFlight won't open after tapping the invite link

First make sure TestFlight is installed. If it is and still won't open, try:

Copy the invite link and open it in Safari.
Restart TestFlight.
Restart your phone, then tap the link again.

3. Android

The Sweekar Android app isn't on Google Play yet. For now, please install it from the APK link below.

1. Download the APK file via this link.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/16LIsZ8FRVqgXJMA8dbRyUsnaKpXgmCNp/view?usp=drive_link

2. Open the file and install the app, allowing installation from this source if your phone asks.

4. First launch — permissions

The first time you open Sweekar, your phone may ask for a few permissions. Here's what each one is for:

*Permission*	*Our recommendation*
*Notifications*	*Allow — used for device status, reminders, and other messages.*
*Bluetooth*	*Allow if you plan to connect a device.*
*Local Network*	*Allow if you need device Wi-Fi setup or a local-network connection.*
*Camera / Photos*	*Allow as needed — e.g. for profile photos or image uploads.*
*Location*	*Some Android phones need this to scan over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Allow as needed.*

Tip Tapped “Don't Allow” by mistake? Open your phone's Settings, find Sweekar, and turn the permission back on.

5. Troubleshooting

Slow download or failed install

Switch to a stable Wi-Fi network.
Check that you have enough free storage.
Close TestFlight (or Google Play) and reopen it.
Restart your phone and try again.

App won't open, crashes, or misbehaves

To help us pinpoint the issue, please share the following details:

*Detail*	*Example*
*Phone model*	*iPhone 15*
*OS version*	*iOS 18.5 / Android 15*
*Sweekar version*	*Shown in TestFlight (iOS)*
*When it happened*	*2026-07-06 14:30*
*What you did*	*Opened the app, tapped Log In, then it crashed*
*Screenshot / recording*	*Please include one if you have it*

6. Good to know

This is a beta build, so you may occasionally see crashes, odd data, or unstable features.
iOS TestFlight builds are usually valid for about 90 days. After that, you'll need to install a fresh beta.
Android is currently installed via APK.
To stop testing on iPhone: open Sweekar in TestFlight and tap “Stop Testing”.
To stop testing on Android: return to the Google Play test page and choose to leave the test.

PART 2 Connecting Your Device

Once the app is installed, pair your Sweekar device by scanning its QR code. You'll find the pairing QR code in the user manual.

▶ Watch the video guide

1. Before you begin

Please confirm the following before you start:

Sweekar is installed and open.
You're signed in to your account.
The device is powered on and ready to pair.
Your phone is connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
You have the password for that 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi ready.
You can find the pairing QR code in the user manual.

Important The device connects to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only — it cannot use 5 GHz. If your home network offers both, connect your phone to the 2.4 GHz band first, then start pairing. 2.4 GHz networks are often labelled with “2.4G” or “2G”, though they may also just use your regular home Wi-Fi name.

2. Open “Add Device”

First-time setup — the home screen prompts you to add a device

1. Open Sweekar.

2. After signing in, if your account has no device yet, you'll see an “Add Device” prompt.

3. Tap Add Device.

4. The app gets ready to open the scanner.

Tip If your phone asks for camera permission, tap Allow — scanning needs the camera.

3. Scan the device QR code

1. Point your phone's camera at the device QR code.

2. Line the QR code up inside the scan frame.

3. Hold steady and let the app recognize it automatically.

4. Once recognized, the app moves on to the connection step and shows the device ID or MAC address.

If scanning fails, try:

Wipe the QR code so it's free of glare or smudges.
Adjust the distance between your phone and the code.
Make sure the lighting is good.
Leave the scan screen and tap “Add Device” again.

4. Name your device

After a successful scan, you'll reach the naming screen. Enter a name that's easy to recognize — for example:

*Use case*	*Example name*
*Your first device at home*	*My Sweekar*
*Placed in the living room*	*Living Room*
*For your child*	*Anna's Sweekar*
*Office device*	*Office Sweekar*

Then tap “Looks Good!” to continue to Wi-Fi setup.

Tip You can rename the device later in the app, so there's no need to overthink the first name.

5. Connect to Wi-Fi & pair

On the Wi-Fi setup screen:

1. Check the “Current Network” shown on the page — the app usually detects your phone's Wi-Fi automatically, so you rarely need to type it in.

2. Confirm that network is a 2.4 GHz network.

3. Enter the Wi-Fi password.

4. Tap “Looks Good!”

5. Wait while the app sends the Wi-Fi details to the device.

Pairing usually takes a few tens of seconds — up to about a minute. While it runs, please keep:

Your phone close to the device.
The device powered on.
Sweekar open (don't switch to another app).
Your phone on the same Wi-Fi (don't disconnect).

Good to know Only enter the Wi-Fi name by hand if the app fails to detect it, shows it blank, or shows the wrong network. When typing it manually, match your router's 2.4 GHz network name exactly — including capitalization, spaces, and symbols.

6. Wait for binding to complete

After Wi-Fi setup succeeds, the app links the device to your account automatically. You'll see these stages in turn:

*Status*	*What it means*
*Pairing*	*The app is sending the Wi-Fi details to your device.*
*Binding*	*The device is online; the app is linking it to your account.*
*Bound*	*All set — you're ready to start.*

Once bound, the app returns to the home screen (or the “Me” page), and your new device appears in the device list.

7. After binding — a quick check

We recommend confirming that:

The device name shows on the home screen.
The device shows as online.
Device info such as Wi-Fi and battery is displayed.
Tapping the device opens its control or detail page.

Tip If the device briefly shows offline right after binding, wait a minute and pull down to refresh, or reopen the app.

8. Troubleshooting

Nothing happens when scanning

Confirm you've allowed Sweekar to use the camera.
Check the QR code isn't damaged, covered, or reflecting glare.
Make sure your camera can focus properly.
Make sure you're scanning the Sweekar device QR code, not another code.

“Scan failed” message

Leave the scan screen and try again. If it keeps failing, take a photo of the QR code and the error message and share them with your Sweekar contact.

Wi-Fi name isn't detected or shows the wrong network

Confirm your phone is connected to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
Turn on Location permission for the app.
Android: confirm GPS / location services are on.
iPhone: confirm you've granted the app the permissions it needs.
Tap the refresh button to detect the current Wi-Fi again.
If it still won't detect, enter your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi name manually.

“Wi-Fi password doesn't meet requirements”

Wi-Fi passwords are usually at least 8 characters. Check that you've entered it in full, minding capitalization, spaces, and special symbols.

Pairing failed

Check these first:

The device is in pairing mode.
The Wi-Fi password is correct.
The network is 2.4 GHz — the device doesn't support 5 GHz.
Your phone isn't too far from the device.
Your router's network is working normally.

Then tap Retry to pair again.

Device doesn't appear on the home screen after binding

Pull down to refresh the home screen.
Close the app and reopen it.
Check that you're signed in to the correct account.
Wait a minute and look again.

9. Good to know

Don't close the app while binding is in progress.
Don't let the device lose power during pairing.
Only scan Sweekar device QR codes.
Don't post your device QR code publicly on social media or in group chats.
To bind the device to a different account, unbind it from the current account first.

Volume	Drag the slider to set the volume.
Attributes	Enter a number and tap SEND to grant Diamonds or Rainbow Coins, or to set the Level.
