Is There a Mobile App

Here's a draft knowledge base article explaining how to add a website to the home screen on Android and iOS devices.

Is There a Mobile App?

While there isn't a dedicated mobile app (yet), you can easily add CookCloud to your phone's home screen for quick access, just like an app! This creates a shortcut that will open the website directly.

Here's how to do it:

For Android Users (using most browsers):

1. Go to our website: Navigate to the specific page of our website you want to add to your home screen.

2. Tap the Menu icon: Look for the three vertical dots (⋮) in the top or bottom right corner of your browser window and tap it.

3. Select "Add to Home screen": From the dropdown menu, tap on "Add to Home screen."

4. Name the shortcut (optional): You'll see a preview of the icon and a default name. You can edit the name if you wish.

5. Tap "Add": Tap the "Add" button to confirm. You might be asked to tap "Add" again to automatically place the icon, or you can drag it to your desired location on your home screen.

You should now see our website's icon on your home screen, ready for quick access!

For iOS Users (using Safari browser):

1. Open Safari: Launch the Safari app on your iPhone or iPad. (Note: This feature works best with Safari. Other browsers like Chrome on iOS may open the website within the browser with the address bar visible, rather than an app-like experience.)

2. Go to our website: Navigate to the specific page of our website you want to add to your home screen.

3. Tap the Share button: Look for the Share icon (a square with an arrow pointing upwards) at the bottom of your screen and tap it.

4. Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen": In the list of options that appear, scroll down until you see "Add to Home Screen." Tap on it.

   • Troubleshooting: If you don't see "Add to Home Screen," scroll to the bottom of the share sheet, tap "Edit Actions," and then tap the green plus sign (+) next to "Add to Home Screen" to enable it.

5. Name the shortcut (optional): You'll see a preview of the icon and a default name. You can edit the name if you wish.

6. Tap "Add": Tap the "Add" button in the top right corner of the screen.

The CookCloud icon will now appear on your home screen. When you tap it, it will open the website in a dedicated window, much like a native app.
