The download and the storage

What the app does to the phone, and what to clear if it does too much

A short read on the app's storage footprint, because the app is small but the cache can grow.

The first install

The first install is about 18 MB on Android and 22 MB on iOS. The install is small, and the install is fast. The app does not require a large download, and the app does not require a large update.

The cache, over time

The cache can grow to 50 to 100 MB over a year, depending on the reader's reading frequency. The cache is what makes the lobby fast, but the cache is also what slows the app on older phones. The reader who has used the app for a year should clear the cache, and the cache can be cleared in the phone's settings.

What the desk suggests

The desk suggests that the reader clear the cache every six months. The desk suggests this because the cache is what makes the lobby fast, and the cache is also what makes the app slow. The reader who clears the cache every six months is a reader who has the fast lobby and the fast app.

The download and the first update

What the reader should expect on the first update, and how often the updates come

A short read on the update cycle, because the cycle is the part of the download the reader should know.

The first update

The first update is usually available within a week of the install. The first update fixes the bugs that slipped through the desk's testing, and the first update is usually a small download (2 to 5 MB). The reader should install the first update as soon as it is available.

The update cycle

The update cycle is monthly, with bug-fix updates released as needed. The monthly update is usually 5 to 10 MB, and the bug-fix update is usually 1 to 3 MB. The reader who keeps the app updated is the reader who has the latest features and the latest fixes.

A short list

Five things to check before downloading, in one paragraph each

A short list, because the list is the part of the download the reader can use.

Check 01: the OS version

The reader should check the OS version. Android 9.0 or later is required; iOS 15.0 or later is required. A reader with an older OS will not be able to install the app, and the OS version is the part of the download the reader can check in the phone's settings.

Check 02: the storage

The reader should check the available storage. The first install is about 18 MB on Android and 22 MB on iOS; the cache can grow to 50 to 100 MB over a year. A reader with low storage will not be able to install the app, and the storage is the part of the download the reader can check in the phone's settings.

Check 03: the network

The reader should check the network. The first download is fast on Wi-Fi (under 1 minute) and slower on cellular (3 to 5 minutes). A reader on a slow network should use Wi-Fi, and the network is the part of the download the reader can check by looking at the signal bars.

Check 04: the source

The reader should check the source. The Google Play Store and the Apple App Store are the safe sources; the APK page is the safe source for sideloading. A reader who downloads from an unsafe source is a reader who is installing an unknown file, and the source is the part of the download the reader can verify.

Check 05: the signature

The reader who sideloads the APK should check the signature. The signature hash is on the APK page in the app, and the hash should match the hash on the frumzi site. A reader who installs an unsigned APK is a reader who is installing an unknown file, and the signature is the part of the download the reader can verify.

Editorial photograph supporting the read

frumzi reading desk

The reading room is a single, direct read for adult rummy players. Three measures on every review (lobby and table finding, cashier and verification, responsible-play controls). Five format notes (points, pool, deals, 13-card, 201). Three strategy disciplines (pure sequence first, track the open joker, drop when the math is wrong). Two lines that exist outside any pla

A third beat

The download is not the verification

The download is not the verification. A reader who downloads the app is not a reader who has verified the document. The document verification is the KYC flow, and the KYC flow happens at the cashier. A reader who downloads the app and skips the KYC is a reader who cannot withdraw, and a reader who cannot withdraw is a reader who has read the wrong page.

The download is also not the promo. A download does not enter a promo code; a promo code is a deposit-page feature. A reader who enters a promo code on the download screen is a reader who has read the wrong page.

For the boundary reading, the download shelf points to the /promo-code/ editorial explanation and the KYC reading on the safety hub.

A second beat

What the install actually does

The install actually does three things: it places the app on the home screen, it requests the storage permission, and it registers the push-notification channel. A reader who understands the three things is a reader who can manage the install. A reader who does not understand the three things is a reader who is surprised by the permission prompt.

The install is also the moment when the reader decides whether the app is a long-term app or a one-session app. A reader who keeps the app on the home screen is a reader who has decided to play; a reader who uninstalls after the first session is a reader who has decided to read the editorial shelf instead.

For the install reading, the download shelf points to the responsible-play hub and the safety hub. The two hubs carry the stake discipline and the verification discipline.
