You will be asked whether you want to download a fresh copy from the Google Play Store or clone the installer package from the existing installation. Once your profile is set up, you can clone any app by tapping the name from the mainland and then the + button at the bottom.

Island is created by Oasis Feng, who has previously developed apps, including Nevolution and Greenify, the latter of which has more than 10 million downloads. A virtual sandbox is an environment separate from the main system where the apps inside and outside it do not interact with each other. The name Island is a metaphor to denote the app operating in a discrete space away from the main premises of the phone, or “mainland.” For this, Island runs the alternative instances of the app using a mechanism called a sandbox.
