Install LogMyKms for Android

Follow these steps on your phone — it takes about a minute.

⬇️ Download the app (.apk)
Android 8.0 or newer · Free with your LogMyKms account
📱 Do this on your Android phone. If you're on a computer now, open logmykms.com.au/download on your phone (or type it into the phone's browser) — the app can only install on an Android device.

Step-by-step

1

Tap “Download the app”

Use the blue button above, in your phone's browser. The .apk file (~60–90 MB) starts downloading. If your browser asks “Download anyway?”, choose Download / OK.

2

Open the downloaded file

When it finishes, tap the download notification, or open Files / My Files → Downloads and tap logmykms.apk.

3

Allow this one install

Android protects you by blocking apps from outside the Play Store by default. The first time, you'll see a prompt — this is normal:

  • Tap Settings in the popup.
  • Turn on Allow from this source (for your browser, e.g. Chrome).
  • Press Back — installation continues.
4

Tap Install

Confirm Install, then Open when it's done. The 🚗 LogMyKms icon also appears in your app drawer.

5

Log in & allow location

Open the app and log in with your LogMyKms account. When you record your first trip, grant location:

  • Choose “While using the app” first, then
  • when prompted again, choose “Allow all the time” — this lets trips keep recording in the background while you drive.

Troubleshooting

“For your security, your phone can't install unknown apps”

Go to Settings → Apps → Special app access → Install unknown apps, pick the browser you downloaded with, and turn on Allow from this source. Then reopen the .apk from Downloads.

“Blocked by Play Protect” / “unsafe app”

Tap More details → Install anyway. (Play Protect flags any app not from the Play Store — LogMyKms is safe; this goes away once we're on the Play Store.)

“App not installed” / “package appears invalid”

Make sure the download finished fully (the file should be tens of MB, not a few KB). Delete the partial file and download again. If an old copy of LogMyKms is installed, uninstall it first, then retry.

I can't find the downloaded file

Open your Files / My Files app → Downloads, or pull down the notification shade and tap the completed download.
