Smartcric

The Smarter Way to Watch Cricket

Android TV / Google TV

Install Smartcric on your TV

Smartcric is not in the Play Store, so you install it using a short code. It takes about three minutes. You only need your TV remote.

Your code — you will type this in step 2

Which TV do you have?

Android TV or Google TV

Sony, TCL, Hisense, Xiaomi Mi Box, Chromecast with Google TV and similar. Follow the steps below.

Fire TV Stick

There is no Smartcric app for Fire TV yet. Open the internet browser on your Fire TV, go to smartcric.ch and pick a match. It plays in the browser.

Samsung or LG smart TV

These TVs cannot install apps from outside their own store. Open the TV's web browser and go to smartcric.ch. If the match does not play there, cast it from your phone instead.

1Install Simple Downloader

On your TV, open the Play Store and search for simpledownloader.

Install Simple Downloader by Tricasol. It has a purple icon and it is first in the list. Other apps have similar names and orange icons — do not install those.

When it finishes, open it.

2Enter the code

At the top of Simple Downloader there is a long bar. Type 112233 in it and press the arrow button.

A file called smartcrictv.apk starts downloading. It is about 43 MB and takes around fifteen seconds.

Entering the short code 112233

3Allow the install

Your TV will show a message saying Simple Downloader is not allowed to install apps. This is normal.

Select Settings on that message. Find Simple Downloader in the list and turn its switch on, so it says Allowed. Then press the back button.

The installation continues by itself. Press Install when your TV asks you.

Can't find Simple Downloader in the list?

Some TVs hide this setting until developer options is turned on. This is common on Google TV devices. It takes about a minute to fix, then you come straight back here.

Done!

Smartcric is now in the apps row on your home screen. Open it and choose a match, the same way you do on the website.

If something does not work

Your TV says "App not installed"

Your TV is probably out of space. Delete an app you do not use. Then delete the file in Simple Downloader and download it again.

Nothing downloads after you type the code

First check that you installed the right app. The code only works in Simple Downloader by Tricasol, the one with the purple icon. It will not work in any other downloader app.

If you have the right app, check that you typed the code in the bar at the very top, and that it is six digits with no spaces. If you see a list of search results instead, your TV searched for the number instead of opening it.
