How do I load a APK into the app?

If you download a APK file with a browser(Safari, Chrome, Dolphin, etc) on your iPhone or iPad an option to 'open in Sideloader' will appear when the download is completed.
Once the APK is loaded select 'Send' to begin the install.
Note: If you use the Safari browser it will just show a blank white screen while downloading so please wait for the download to finish and eventually you will see the 'Open in Sideloader' option.

Swiping left on any file will display a delete button.
