XIV. Installing 

Apps

Android Applications are available via the Cruz Market or other third-party sources 
like the developer’s website.

Many Android apps are designed for use with phone devices rather than just tablet 
devices, but many, many more are great for use on tablets! You can also install any 
number of eReader Android apps, allowing you to have multiple eReader fi le formats, 
all on one Cruz Tablet.

To the right you’ll see the 
expandable App Panel that 
can be found at the bottom 
of the homescreen.  This is 
the portal through which all 
of your applications can be 
accessed.

CruzMarket

Visit the CruzMarket for 
access to 100’s of apps.  
Some of them are free 
downloads!

NOTE:

 Google does not permit access to the official Android 

Market at this time.
