Loading The App On Your Smartphone

For Your iOS Devices:

To add an icon to the home screen on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad when you’re looking at the home page of the app in Safari select the button shown below and select “Add to Home Screen.”  You must be using the Safari browser to view the app in order to see this option.


 

For Your Android Devices:

On Android it’s slightly more involved, depending on the browser being used:

  • For recent Samsung devices using the built in browser, simply click the menu button (bottom left on the Galaxy S4) and select “Add Shortcut” to put the icon on your home screen. The icon should be available on your home screen for easy access.  Please note, this may not work on all versions of Android.
  • If you have loaded the most recent version of Google Chrome (please update if you have not already), simply select the menu key while on the home page of the app and select “Add to Home Screen.”
  • For other Browsers, start by bookmarking the page you want to add to the home screen.
  • For Chrome you select the menu key and then press the small “star” in the upper right hand corner, and save the bookmark in the folder of your choice.
  • Select the menu again and choose bookmarks. Locate the bookmark to save to the home screen and press and hold it until the pop up menu displays.
  • Select “Add to Home Screen” to add the icon to your phone’s home screen for easy access.
  • The process may vary slightly from device to device or browser to browser, but should work similarly to the above in most cases.
  • Older Android devices may show a generic star icon for the app instead of the customized button.

For Your Windows 8 Devices:

  • Open the application in your browser using a QR code scanner.
  • In the bottom right corner click on the 3 dots and select “pin to start” to add to your home screen.

QR Scanners

Below are some of the QR Code Scanners that we have found work best on iOS devices, with the best ones being listed first from left to right.  You can download these apps from your device’s app store for free. For Android device’s we have found the QR Code reader called “Norton Snap” by Norton to work well.  For Windows smartphones and tablets the “i-nigma” scanner is a good choice.  The scanners that load the app directly into the browser for your phone or tablet work the best.  Avoid scanners that load into the QR Code reader application instead of your devices web browser.
