Get the app

Put Tsamaya on your phone.

Free while in beta, on both platforms — TestFlight on iPhone, a direct download on Android. A couple of minutes to set up, and you can leave whenever you like.

Two ways in

Pick your phone

On iPhone

Tsamaya ships through Apple’s TestFlight while in beta — Apple’s own app for trying new software. Free, and easy to leave.

Ask for the link

Send us your email address and we’ll reply with the TestFlight link and a short guide. That’s all we need — no Apple ID, no forms.

  1. Open the TestFlight link on your iPhone.
  2. Install TestFlight if you don’t have it, then tap Install for Tsamaya.
  3. That’s it — updates arrive automatically during the beta.

On Android

Tsamaya installs directly — no store account, no invite needed. The Play Store listing is on its way; this is the same app, a step earlier.

Download for Android

APK · v1.4.1 (build 2) · 195 MB · updated 11 August 2026

  1. Download tsamaya.apk on your phone.
  2. Open the downloaded file and allow the install when your phone asks.
  3. Android may warn about an unknown developer — that’s normal for an app from outside the Play Store.

Free during the beta on both platforms, with nothing to pay later for the safety basics. Just your email if you’d like to send feedback.

Once it’s installed

Getting started takes about five minutes

1

Open Tsamaya and look around

The map opens on your metro with the risk picture already drawn — zones and rated roads, coloured by risk level and time of day. A short tour points out the important bits on first run.

2

Allow location while driving

Tsamaya needs your location to show where you are and to plan a route from where you’re standing. Choose “While Using the App”. It never tracks you in the background.

3

Drive a route you already know

The best first test is a trip you make often. You’ll see straight away whether the route it suggests makes sense to you, and that’s exactly the feedback worth having.

Telling us something’s wrong

If an area looks mis-rated, tap the flag on the map and say so. That goes straight into our review queue. For anything else, email info@tsamayaapp.co.za — reports about roads you actually drive are the most useful thing you can send us.
