You can play Xterium not only in your browser but also on your phone—there’s an app for Android and iOS. It’s the same game: your account, planets, fleet, and alliance remain the same—you’re just logging in from your phone. Below, we’ll show you how to log in to your account through the app and how to avoid a common login mistake.

Where did this guide come from? The login process and common issues are described by players (wiki, forum thread). The list of push notifications comes from the game’s code. Always log in to your account using your email and password—it’s the same account you use in the browser.

Where can I get the app?

The app is available on Google Play (Android) and the App Store (iOS)—links to download it can be found on the game's website. This is the official Xterium client; there's no need to install anything from third-party sources.

The main rule: Log in with your email address and password

The most common mistake beginners make on their phones is this: when you launch the app, it prompts you to sign in with Google. If you agree, the game creates a new, empty account (called a “zero” account)—and your usual account with your planets and fleet won’t be there.

To access your account, you need to log in with your email address and password—the same ones you use in your browser.

How to Log In to Your Account (Android)

Step by step:

  1. Launch the app. A Google Play connection window will pop up first—close it (tap next to the white window, not inside it).
  2. Click "Sign In."
  3. If you're prompted to sign in with Google again, close this window (click outside the white square).
  4. Select "Sign in with email and password."
  5. Enter your Xterium email address and password, then click "Log In."
  6. All done—you're logged into your account, and you can play on your phone.

Sign In on iOS

On iPhone and iPad, logging into your account works the same way—using your email and password. If you’re unable to link your account from a computer to your iOS device, you’ll need to contact the game’s technical support—in this case, the project’s administration will handle the linking for you.

If you accidentally log into an "empty" account

Don't worry—you won't get banned for that. Just log out and log back in using your email and password.

But there’s an important warning: don’t level up this extra account. Developing a second account constitutes multi-accounting, which is prohibited by the rules. For more details, see the guide “Rules and Etiquette”].

Push Notifications: Don't Miss Anything Important

The main advantage of playing on your phone is the notifications you receive even when you're not in the game. The game's code includes push notifications for:

You can customize the types and frequency of notifications in your profile, under the settings section. That way, you'll have time to move your fleet out of harm's way, even if your phone is in your pocket.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a different game or the same account? It's the same account. The planets, fleet, resources, and alliance are the same as in the browser version. The only thing that changes is the device you're playing on.

Why did I end up in an empty account with no planets in the app? You signed in with Google—this creates a new "default" account. Sign out and sign in again using "Email and Password" with your Xterium credentials.

Will I get banned for this accidental second account? No, not just for logging in by accident. But you can't level up a second account: that's considered multi-accounting, and it's punishable.

How do I link my account on an iPhone if it's not working? Contact the game's technical support—the administration handles the linking process from a computer to an iOS device.

Why install an app when you have a browser? Thanks to push notifications: you'll be alerted to an attack or reconnaissance in time and will be able to save your fleet without even opening the game.
