Prowl for Android

2.0.0.1370 · 27 August 2026

Google Play

The usual way. Automatic updates, nothing to set up.

Get it on Google Play

Direct

The same app, signed by us rather than by Google.

Already have Prowl from Play? Uninstall it first. Android won't update an app across a change of signature, so the two can't sit side by side.

Obtainium

Auto-updates. The recommended option for all but the oldest devices.

Add Prowl to Obtainium

No Obtainium? Get it first, then tap above.

Add manually

Obtainium → Add App, paste:

Source URL
https://cdn.prowlapp.com/android/obtainium/
Version string extraction RegEx
prowl-([0-9.]+)-

You don’t need to change any other field. That URL offers a single arm64-v8a build, so there’s nothing for Obtainium to choose between.
