Web App Release

For those unfamiliar, a web app runs on your phone inside a browser and functions exactly like a downloadable app, but it requires no installation. It's a robust and secure technology, but since Apple and Google have such a tight monopoly on our phones – and what runs on them via their respective app stores – most people don't know web apps exist. When in fact, many of today's biggest names, including Instagram and Pinterest, originally launched as web apps to build their communities.

While we do plan to release Android and iOS versions later this year, for now you can save our web app to your home screen where it will function just like a native app!

On iPhone, tap the share button and scroll until you find "Add to Home Screen"

Here's how:

1) On your phone, open your favorite browser and go to: app.textceleste.com

2) On an iPhone: Tap the share icon at the bottom of the screen
On an Android: Click the three vertical dots in the upper right

3) Expand the menu and scroll until you see "Add to Home Screen"

4) On an iPhone: Click Add in the upper right hand corner of the Screen
On an Android: Click Install

5) Et voilà! Check your home screen and the app should be there, sitting pretty with your other apps

New users will be prompted to install the app, or tap the 3 dots menu to save to Android
