Option 1: the app from Google Play
Install ASiC-E Viewer: BDOC EDOC P7S. It is free.
| Feature | In the app |
|---|---|
| Formats | .asice, .asics, .bdoc, .edoc, .adoc, .p7s |
| Works offline | Yes |
| Document view | Pinch-to-zoom re-rendered at screen resolution, plus a text mode |
| Export | PDF (A4, signer and time in the header), DOCX, DOC, XML, original file |
| Signature details | Signer, organisation, issuer, certificate serial and validity, signing time, time stamp |
| Checks on the device | Container structure, document integrity, certificate validity at signing time |
| Character sets | Detected automatically, so accented names stay correct |
The app says openly what it does not check: the XAdES signature value is not recomputed. For a legally binding verdict, use an accredited validation service.

Privacy on the phone
In both cases the document is parsed on the device and not uploaded. The app's only network use is for loading ads.
Signing on Android
Neither option signs. To sign from a phone, use the official RIA DigiDoc app with Mobile-ID or Smart-ID. Desktop instructions are in ASiC-E viewer for Windows.
