Downloading

This page has been created in order to familiarize you with the Hentoid app as quickly as possible.
A few things you should be aware of:
  • Hentoid is only available for Android (no plans for an iOS version at the moment).
  • Hentoid is not offered in the Google Play Store (check the section below for more about this).
  • Hentoid is not a simplified or alternative browser (what you see is what you get).
  • Hentoid cannot download if the original source is not there (just in case you try this).
With that out of the way, launch the app if not already open. If you have yet to install Hentoid, then give this page a visit.
If this is your first time using Hentoid and you opted not to import your library (or you simply don't have a prior library), then your Download List will be a bit, well, lonely -- let's fix that!
For this example, I will be downloading from nhentai~
Go ahead and open the navigation drawer to get started:

Navigation Drawer

See nhentai on the list above, tap away. Hentoid will then open a window that will allow you to browse nhentai. Take note of the two floating buttons on the lower left:

Source: nhentai

The floating button on the lower left (the one that looks like an SD Card) will bring you back to the Download List. Use it whenever you get lost~ As for the button above it, well, that refreshes the page that you are currently on.

Picking an orange

Once you see something you want, tap on it, which should bring you to the details page for that particular item -- in the example above, I went for some oranges. Note that there is now a new button on the lower right. This is the button that you will see when you are in a page Hentoid recognizes as a downloadable item, but which you have yet to download.

Grabbing that orange

Don't waste any time, tap on that button -- which will prompt Hentoid to shout at you, letting you know it's working away, attempting to grab some oranges. If you are quick enough, you can even catch the download in progress by swiping down on your notifications:

Sweet Progress

Once a download is complete, it is up to you to choose if you want to consume it right away, or go out in search for more. Once you are satisfied, you can revisit your Download List by tapping on a notification for a completed download, or the icon on the lower left that we referred to earlier.

Give me my oranges

Whichever option you choose, when you come back to the Download List, you will see this nagging you. In order to get Hentoid to release your sweet oranges, you can either tap on the notification itself, or slide down on the Download List itself to refresh it.

Finally

If done correctly, Hentoid should give up holding your oranges hostage and will add them to your Download List -- please keep this method a secret from others, we don't want to hurt Hentoid too much.
I hope you find what you are looking for out there. Go ahead and give the other sources a try as well with what you have learned -- until the next one~
