Common questions
Why don't I see an install option?
Make sure you're using a supported browser (Chrome/Edge on Android or desktop, Safari on iPhone) and that you've visited the site before. Some browsers only offer the option after a short delay.
Does installing cost anything extra?
No. It's the same DTCDecoder account and plan you already have — installing just adds a home-screen shortcut.
Will I get updates automatically?
Yes. The installed app updates the same way the website does — there's nothing to manually download or update.
