## In short

- The [ASiC-E Viewer app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digixy.asiceviewer&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dasiceviewer.com%26utm_medium%3Dblog-md) opens containers offline and exports PDF or Word.
- Without installing, Chrome on Android opens the same files at asiceviewer.com.
- Both keep the document on your phone.

## Option 1: the app from Google Play

Install [ASiC-E Viewer: BDOC EDOC P7S](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digixy.asiceviewer&hl=en&referrer=utm_source%3Dasiceviewer.com%26utm_medium%3Dblog-md). 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.

## Opening a file with the app

1. Tap the attachment in Gmail, Outlook or a chat app.
2. Choose **ASiC-E Viewer** in the "Open with" sheet.
3. Read the document; switch to the signatures tab for details.

You can also start from the app and pick a file from Downloads or Drive.

## Option 2: Chrome, nothing installed

1. Download the attachment.
2. Open asiceviewer.com in Chrome.
3. Tap the box and choose the file from **Downloads**.

The page adapts to the narrow screen: files and signatures first, the document below.

## App or browser?

| | App | Browser |
| No connection | Works | Page must have loaded |
| One-off use | Needs installing | Immediate |
| Export to PDF/Word | Yes | Download original files |
| Opens directly from mail | Yes | Download first |
| Ads | Yes | No |

If you open a signed file once a year, use the browser. If it is part of your work, install the app.

## 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](https://asiceviewer.com/en/blog/asice-viewer-for-windows/).

## Frequently asked questions

**Is the ASiC-E Viewer app free?**

Yes. It is free to install and use and is financed by ads; no feature is locked.

**Does the app need internet?**

No. Containers are opened and exported on the device without a connection.
