Installing MacKree

Installing MacKree

MacKree isn't in the App Store yet. It installs through TestFlight, a free app from Apple for trying apps before release.

1

First, install TestFlight.

On your iPhone, open the App Store, search for TestFlight, and tap Get. Do this step first — the next step won't work without it.

2

Open Mike's invite email on your iPhone (not on a computer).

Tap the blue View in TestFlight button.

3

TestFlight opens and shows MacKree.

Tap Accept, then tap Install.

4

MacKree is now on your home screen with a small orange dot next to the name. That's normal — it just means it came from TestFlight.

If the button in step 2 doesn't work: open TestFlight, tap Redeem in the top corner, and type the code from Mike's email.

If you tapped the email before installing TestFlight: that's okay. Install TestFlight, then go back to the email and tap the button again.

If anything else goes wrong: text Mike. Don't delete anything.
