Mobile App Installation

WorkSnap Pro is designed as a job-site ready Progressive Web App (PWA). Install it on your device for the best experience.

You will need an account to sign in after installing; create your free WorkSnap Pro account first if you have not already.

What is a PWA?

A Progressive Web App gives you an app-like experience without downloading from an app store:

• Fast loading - Your browser caches the app's files, so it opens quickly on a normal connection
• Home screen icon - Launch like a native app
• Automatic updates - Updates automatically when you reopen the app with an internet connection

Note: WorkSnap Pro needs an internet connection to load and save your work. Installing it to your home screen changes how the app launches, not what it can do without a signal. Offline access is on our roadmap and is not available yet.

Installing on iOS (iPhone/iPad)

1. Open Safari and navigate to WorkSnap Pro
2. Tap the Share button (square with arrow)
3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen
4. Name it "WorkSnap Pro" (or your preference)
5. Tap Add

The WorkSnap Pro icon will appear on your home screen.

Note: PWA installation must be done through Safari on iOS. Chrome and other browsers don't support this feature on iOS.
