You don’t need an app store to use Outfiqe on your phone. You can add it to your home screen straight from your browser. After that, it opens full screen with its own icon, like any other app, and pages you’ve already visited still open when your signal drops.

On Android, or Chrome on a computer

1

Open Outfiqe in your browser

After a little while, a message appears near the bottom of the screen: “Install Outfiqe for a faster, full-screen experience.”
2

Choose Install

Choose Install, then confirm in the box your browser shows.
3

Open it from your home screen

Outfiqe now has its own icon. Tap it to open.
If you choose Not now, the message goes away. You can still install from your browser’s menu at any time, usually with an option like Install app or Add to Home screen.

On iPhone or iPad

Safari doesn’t have an install button, so it takes two taps instead.
1

Open Outfiqe in Safari

It needs to be Safari, not another browser.
2

Tap the Share icon

It’s the square with an arrow pointing up, in Safari’s toolbar.
3

Add to Home Screen

Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen, then tap Add.
If you choose Install on the message Outfiqe shows you, it opens these same steps as a reminder.

Notifications

You can turn on notifications, so you hear about activity on your account, like new followers and messages, even when Outfiqe is closed. Outfiqe asks you first. Choose to allow them when your phone or browser asks. On iPhone and iPad, notifications only work after you’ve added Outfiqe to your home screen. If you blocked notifications earlier and want them back, turn them on again in your browser’s or phone’s settings for Outfiqe.

Updates

You never need to update Outfiqe yourself. When there’s a new version, you’ll see “A new version of Outfiqe is ready.” Choose Reload to switch to it now, or Later to keep going and get it next time.

When you’re offline

If your connection drops, a banner tells you you’re offline. Pages you’ve already opened still work. When you’re back online, everything catches up by itself.
