Android Mobile Devices – Installation #
Currently you can only take photos with the Brightchecker App on Android mobile devices if you use the Firefox, Opera or DuckDuckGo Browsers.
The app works on Chrome & Edge Browsers – but you cannot take photos because of the latest Android operating system release – we will update this guidance as soon as this is resolved.
Its really simple to download Firefox, Opera or DuckDuckDuckGo
Personally I prefer using DuckDuckGo
Download DuckDuckGo
Go to the android playstore

Open Duckduckgo Browser.
Use Duckduckgo browser to search for Brightchecker website
Go to the Brightchecker website.
Open the Brightchecker menu burger bar (it’s the three lines top right on a mobile phone)
Select app login
Duckduckgo will invite you to open in app – do not do so, just let the log in screen open
Now click the three balls in the top right of the duck duck browser menu
Select add to home screen (this gives you an app button on your home screen)
Now click the three balls in the top right of the duck duck browser menu again
