Guys, why the hell you dont put the APK for downloading here on your Page? Ive been using your Software for years now, and just have simply BAD TIMES here installing your App to get my sync runnin! I dont use Google App Store and I never would use it, so what can I do? Right: nothing... Cannot get the beta version running! Nice, guys.. Why I have to f*?&%$§' JOIN a group on google, only to recognize that I have to use the google app anyway? Why I must use the GPS? I am more than upset right now! Maybe I should better DOWNGRADE my Thunderbird and wait for the alpha release, huh?

Haven't recieve an answer to my mail questions yet..
THINK OF THE USERS WHO WON'T USE GOOGLE AT ALL!

Hello Maiskolben,

The installation of the beta for Android relies on the usual way to install BirdieSync app from Google Play, as described in the procedure to install the beta. Now I can understand that you don't want at all to have a Google account on your device, even if you could also disable Google synchronization of your data on your Android device. I'm aware that others users asked for it. This is in consideration.

Mails are regularly sent to info and support which could sometimes take time to be treated. Note also that there can be a time zone difference. So an answer to an email may not be necessarily immediate.
I sent to you an anwser regarding the questions you asked.

Ok, Birdy, thank you for your polite brave answer! But sorry, you said nothing. I'm interested in how can I get a copy of the Beta Version of BS, WITHOUT using the google shit... "relies on the usual way to install BirdieSync ", see, this is what I meant: I want to have the "unusual" aká "NORMAL" way to install it... :) Get back to the topic!

Actually the answer was sent to the email address you used to contact info (and it's the same email address that you used to register on the forum (I've just checked)).
So please check that the answer was not considered as spam and moved to your Junk folder. If you haven't received it, send a mail again to info, and it will be sent again.
This mail should answer to your current problem.

Maybe it´s possible to give the answer how to get BirdieSync with out google in this forum. For me, and imho a lot more persons using BS is this an relevant and importend information.

I think many of the users of BS us it because they don´t like giving there data to google. So there should be an other way to get BS then google.
