to release a guide for the Genie application on Android, covering topics like app downloads, user creation, and app usage!
1. DOWNLOADING GENIE
Head to https://apkpure.com/%EC%A7%80%EB%8B%88-%EB%AE%A4%EC%A7%81-genie/com.ktmusic.geniemusic to download the application. You'll see the following image upon loading onto the page
Head to https://apkpure.com/%EC%A7%80%EB%8B%88-%EB%AE%A4%EC%A7%81-genie/com.ktmusic.geniemusic to download the application. You'll see the following image upon loading onto the page
Afterwards, tap on "Download APK". You'll be brought to another page to confirm the download, along with the app's details. Scroll all the way down and tap on "Download APK", as in the image!
You'll then be brought to the downloading screen, where your phone should begin downloading the APK file! If it doesn't download for some reason, tap on "Click Here" and the download should start. It will be stored in the Downloads folder of your Android device!
When the download is complete, open your respective file managers (in my case, Files), and navigate to Downloads, like in image 1. Then, tap on the downloaded APK, as seen in image 2! (re-uploaded for privacy reasons)
Chances are Android rejects the download initially, as seen in image 1.
To rectify this, you'll have to allow your phone to install unknown apps from the respective source (Chrome in this case). To do so, go to Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> Special App Access -> Install Unknown Apps. Other phones may vary, though mostly similar.
Reference images for the above tweet
NOTE: This is specific to my phone (OnePlus 7T Pro). Other Android devices may vary in their path to enable app permissions, but it should be largely similar
Once at the permissions screen, tap on Chrome (or whichever application that lacks the permission for installing the APK), and toggle the permissions on, under "Allow From This Source" (see image 1). Go back to Downloads and image 2's prompt will appear
Tap on install, and once it's completed, the following prompt will appear. Congratulations, you have installed Genie on your Android device!
2. CREATING AN ACCOUNT
Tap on Open to open the Genie application, and you will see the following pop-up appear. Tap on the blue worded option to continue, tapping the other option will kick you from the application
Tap on Open to open the Genie application, and you will see the following pop-up appear. Tap on the blue worded option to continue, tapping the other option will kick you from the application
The following image will then appear on your screen afterwards. Select "다음" (blue box) to continue on
Another popup will appear, and like the previous choices, please select the blue words to continue. Unlike the previous instances, this instance brings you to a "Display over other apps" screen, which you will need to toggle on. Not doing so effectively stops you here.
Now, return to the Genie application. You should be brought to the main page. An ad may appear, like in the image. The bottom-right option (circled in red) allows you to get rid of the app and move forwards in registering for an account
On the main screen, tap on the top right corner (로그인). This will bring you to the login/account creation page
4 boxes will appear after the login fields (translated in the image). For this instance, we'll be using the Twitter login box, although the process will be more or less the same for the other applications (KKT, FB, and phone number) as well.
You will need to authorize Genie to access your account. Tap on "Authorize app" at the bottom right to continue!
You'll be brought to this screen. Choose an ID and enter your email address, and then check ALL boxes with 필수. All other boxes marked 선택 are optional here (ty @_cherisoul for clarification!) Afterwards, click on the last gray box (demarcated in image 2) to continue!
ADDENDUM: You must check your ID before continuing. This ensures you get a valid ID that's not in use. If it's not in use, a phrase pops up in green (meaning ID not in use currently), as seen in the image. Else, another phrase will appear, but in red (meaning ID is in use)
When all the conditions are met (valid ID and email, all "필수" options checked), you have successfully created your Genie account! Tap on "시작하기" to exit back to the main page, logged in via Twitter/FB/Kakao!
3. ADDING A STREAM PASS
In order to stream and download songs on Genie, a pass is required. Each pass has a unique code, and there are different passes for streaming, as well as both streaming and downloading. The process should largely be, if not the same for each pass!

Assuming you have a code for the streaming pass already, tap on the bottom right tab in the main menu of the Genie app (circled red)
You'll then be brought into a new screen. Tap on the option circled red - this is the one that will bring you to the screen to add your streaming pass code
This is the screen you will see after tapping on the option. Enter your streaming pass code, and then tap on the blue box to continue
An alert will appear. Tap on the blue-worded option to continue
You'll be brought to a screen to activate the pass. Tap on the box beside the pass to trigger a confirmation alert, and then tap on the blue words option again to start the pass
To verify the pass is activated:
1) Tap the bottom right option on main menu
2) Tap on the top right corner to access your profile
3) Once at your profile, scroll down to "이용권 정보". If a pass has been activated, an entry will exist similar to the one in the third image!

4. STREAMING ON GENIE
With the pass out of the way, it's time to stream some music! Before getting into it, friendly reminder to stream/download Tiger Eyes when it comes out on 20 May (D-9 from time of this tweet!)

Genie is similar to other music apps like Spotify - you search for a song/artist, and then you select the song and play it.
To start, tap on the search option (second from right option in the bottom) in the main menu
To start, tap on the search option (second from right option in the bottom) in the main menu
The search menu will appear, with a text box for your search option. Enter your search option there!
For the context of this thread, we'll be searching for Kei's songs. Upon searching, the results will bring out a range of results, from songs to artists, albums and even MVs! For individual songs, tapping the play button on the respective song will begin streaming that song!
