I am currently in China with an Android so I have problem to access Google store. Is there other way to download the app?
Thanks for your time answering.

In China the Google store is not the primary source to get Android apps. There are many other stores - I don't know which to trust. You can get this app from it official website http://www.yikeweiqi.com/app/ and the direct link is http://cdn.yikeweiqi.com/resource/andro ... eweiqi.apk

You will probably need to change some settings to allow apk files to install.

I will try thanks. To be sure, these links will propose me to download the English app, not a Chinese one? Sorry for my many questions

As I said this is a universal app and you can switch language from its settings. I am not sure about the default language - if I were the developer I would check the language of the phone and set a suitable default.

I used direct link, just accepted a warning about "apk may harm", then open and awesome it's in English.

Thank you

One day later I still didn't play one game, I am a bit disappointed.

Many pop up are still in Chinese it's still far away to be universal.


I did give more info in my profile as what other players do (I can watch games) but each time I try to play I get that "still under review pop up.

Any help?

If you PM me your login name, I will help you get approval quickly. This platform enforces certain rules: people are encouraged to use their real names to cultivate a more friendly community. Certain usernames, those apparently meaningless, offensive or similar, are rejected. This is a manual process. This might sound crazy, but I think it is not a bad idea in long run. Don't worry - these guys are serious about protecting personal information - I actually helped them review some GDPR compliance topics a while ago.

Same username as here

To be "universal" it would be great to translate the pop ups, especially the one asking me an answer.
I don't get the under review pop up anymore thanks,but when clicking on the "ready to play" tab one in chinese pops up with a choice to do. What choice? I am afraid to use luck because I don't want to go all a process again... I think something like that did happen to me before.

If I do care more on these pop-ups, it's because they use pics for text, so I can't get help from external translation tools.

I try the game settings tab, all is in Chinese there.

In a more general way, it's great when I can select anything in Chinese and then I can translate it.
I went to watch game again, as I can't yet play. There I can't select all these commentaries in Chinese to translate them.
Wechat app is very well designed for example on this side. Anything in Chinese (pics put aside OC) can be translated just by clicking on it, inside the app.

I m still motivated to answer your invitation and go there play games... As soon as possible!

Thank you

I dont understand that dialog is all English on my phone

I had this pop up when clicking on the ready to play blue bottom (at the bottom of the screenshot)

Now I discovered I can click on the middle of the screen, I got a pop-up in English this time (!) telling me I was not verified then I did what they ask me again and now I am again... In review!

It asks you to certify your username. What happens if you tap the button with Chinese text next to Cancel? Is the next screen still in Chinese?

If I cancel, nothing happen, like if I didn't click the button before.(it's a cancellation)

If I press the other I think they do like register me again (ask a username and a level if play) and then out me under review that's what happened the first time I tried so I did reimput name/level


In my profile the information I gave the first time I registered is still there besides this (my location, my languages etc...)

So I tried again today, got again the message "player not registered yet" in English (I did click on the middle of the screen, not at the bottom blue) and I am again under review as expected...
I gave same name and level each time. That's all what they asked me.
Edit:

I got that message now in Chinese:
Last edit:. Seems they don't want me, I don't know why. I registered once more then I got that same message.
I will just go back play on other more friendly places.

Would be nice if yikeweiqi would add an enlish registration page for starters. I would like to use their chinese website via google translation, but the registration page is a hurdle for me right now.

I've been playing on Yike a bit, but never could figure out how to end a game normally. Does anyone play there regularly and know which option is the correct one?



EDIT: I found it out, it's the bottom left button.
