Riot is available for Android and iOS.
The iOS version can be downloaded from the [Apple store](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vector.im/id1083446067).
The Android version can be downloaded from the [Google Play store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=im.vector.alpha) or [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=im.vector.alpha). If you are not sure which one to choose, install Vector from the [Google Play store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=im.vector.alpha).

##### I installed Vector via F-Droid, why is it draining my battery?
##### I installed Riot via F-Droid, why is it draining my battery?
The F-Droid release of Vector does not use [Google Cloud Messaging](https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/). This allows users that do not have or want Google Services installed to use Vector.
The F-Droid release of Riot does not use [Google Cloud Messaging](https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/). This allows users that do not have or want Google Services installed to use Riot.
The drawback is that Vector has to pull for new messages, which can drain your battery. To counter this, you can change the delay between polls in the settings. Higher delay means better battery life (but may delay receiving messages). You can also disable the background sync entirely (which means that you won't get any notifications at all).

If you don't mind using Google Services, you might be better off installing the [Google Play store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=im.vector.alpha) version.
##### Where can I find a web app?
You can use [Vector.im](https://vector.im) - a glossy web client written on top of [matrix-react-sdk](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk).
You can use [Riot.im](https://Riot.im) - a glossy web client written on top of [matrix-react-sdk](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk).
You can also run Vector on your own server. It's a static web application, just download the [last release](https://github.com/vector-im/vector-web/) and unpack it.
