Setting Up the Mobile Web App (PWA)

Setting Up the Mobile Web App (PWA)

If you don't have an iPhone or prefer not to use TestFlight, you can install OneBookPlus as a Progressive Web App (PWA). This gives you an app-like experience on any device — Android, iPhone, iPad, or desktop.

What Is a PWA?

A PWA is a website that behaves like a native app. When installed, it:

• Appears on your home screen with an app icon
• Opens in full-screen mode (no browser toolbar)
• Loads quickly with cached assets
• Supports push notifications (where available)

Installing on Android

1. Open Chrome on your Android device
2. Go to app.onebookplus.com.au
3. Sign in to your account
4. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner
5. Select "Add to Home screen" or "Install app"
6. Confirm the installation
7. The OneBookPlus icon will appear on your home screen

Installing on iPhone or iPad

1. Open Safari (this only works in Safari on iOS)
2. Go to app.onebookplus.com.au
3. Sign in to your account
4. Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow pointing up)
5. Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen"
6. Tap Add to confirm

Installing on Desktop (Chrome/Edge)

1. Open Chrome or Edge
2. Go to app.onebookplus.com.au
3. Look for the install icon in the address bar (a monitor with a down arrow)
4. Click Install

PWA vs Native iOS App

| Feature | PWA | iOS App |

|---------|-----|--------|

| Invoicing | Yes | Yes |

| Push notifications | Limited | Full |

| Offline access | Basic | Enhanced |

| Camera (receipts) | Yes | Yes |

| Speed | Good | Best |

Both options sync to the same account and data.

**Tip:** The PWA is the best option for Android users until the native Android app is released.
