APK Safety Checklist
Use this page before installing an App on your device. A few checks reduce the risk of installing the wrong package or an unexpected build.
Sideloaded Android apps are common for APK distribution sites. Verification is part of a responsible install — not optional fine print.
This checklist mirrors what we publish with every release: package name, version label, and file details on the download page.
Package and version check
Before you tap Install, confirm the build matches what this site lists for the current release.
- Package name: com.northline.nova
- Version: match the latest entry on the download page (for example v2.4.1)
- File type: APK for most devices; XAPK only when your installer supports it
If Android reports a signature conflict with an older test build, uninstall the previous package first, then retry.
Scan before you install
Scan the downloaded file with a tool you trust, then enable installs only for the browser or Files app you used.
- Download from this site’s download page
- Scan the file before opening it
- Allow the source only when Android prompts for it
- Open Nova App and confirm the version in settings if available

Safety FAQs
Is every file on this site scanned for you?
We publish verified builds with package and version details. You should still scan downloads with your preferred security tools before installing.
What if the package name does not match?
Do not install. Contact support with the filename and version you received so we can investigate.
Can I use an older APK?
Yes. Previous versions remain listed for rollback, but prefer the latest release unless you have a specific compatibility reason.
