Browse vehicles, book instantly, and chat directly with owners — the TRAVEL Lanka Customer app puts the whole marketplace in your pocket.
We're not on the Play Store or App Store yet. Store listings cost money to set up and maintain, and as a small self-funded team we're not there yet. Until then, you can install the app directly using the steps below — it's the exact same app, just installed a different way.
Install the Customer app APK directly on your phone. Takes about a minute.
The Customer app for iOS isn't available yet — we're finishing setup and testing before opening installs to iPhone and iPad.
Android has supported installing apps from outside the Play Store since day one — it's called sideloading, and it's a completely native, built-in feature of the OS. There's no jailbreak, no extra tools, and no computer involved. The first time you install the Customer app, you'll see one settings prompt to allow it; after that, updates install like any other app.
iOS is stricter than Android — every app has to be cryptographically signed before it's allowed to install, and store listings take time and cost money to set up. We're still finishing that groundwork, so iOS installs for the Customer app aren't open yet. Android is fully available in the meantime.
Publishing costs money — a one-time fee for Google and an annual fee for Apple — plus ongoing review requirements. We're keeping the platform free to use for now and putting funds into the core service first. Store listings are on the roadmap once we can cover the cost.
Yes. Sideloading is a normal, supported feature on both Android and iOS — it's simply outside the official stores. Only ever download the app from links on this page or our official channels.
Not yet — iOS installs are temporarily paused while we finish signing and testing. Android is fully available right now. Check back here or watch our socials in the footer for the announcement.
We don't have an exact date yet — we'd rather open it up once it's solid than rush it. This page will update automatically once iOS installs are live, so bookmark it if you're waiting.
Double-check that "Install unknown apps" is allowed for the app you used to download it (Chrome, Files, etc.) in Settings → Apps → Special access. Some phone brands (Samsung, Xiaomi) hide this setting under slightly different menu names.
Absolutely — everything the Customer app does is also available at travellanka.run.place, no install needed.
