Adding PSTrax to your mobile device

Add a shortcut to PSTrax on your phone or tablet to quickly access the site with just a tap.

While PSTrax does not have a native app that can be downloaded from your device's app store (see why here), you can save a shortcut to your phone or tablet so you can quickly access the site. This creates an icon that looks like a native app, which you can rearrange/organize in any manner you wish. See the instructions below for adding PSTrax to your Apple or Android device.

NOTE: These instructions may vary slightly depending on the device and browser version you're using.

Add shortcut on Apple devices

  1. From Safari, navigate to app1.pstrax.com.
  2. Select the Share button on the Safari toolbar — it’s the rectangle with an arrow pointing upward (see screenshot below).
  3. Click Add to Home Screen.
  4. Once you click "Add", a PSTrax button will be displayed after the last app on your home screen. This icon will take you directly to the PSTrax login page.

Adding shortcut on Android Devices

Summary
You can add a website to your Android home screen as a shortcut that appears like an app icon. Tapping it opens the site in your browser (or in standalone mode if the site supports it, like a Progressive Web App).

Instructions
This process uses your mobile web browser (usually Chrome) to create the shortcut and place it on your home screen.

Open the Website in Chrome

  1. Open Google Chrome on your Android phone.

  2. Navigate to the website you want to create a shortcut for.

Open the Chrome Menu
3. Tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner of Chrome.

Add to Home Screen
4. Tap "Add to Home screen" or "Install app" (depending on the website).

  • If it's a standard website, you'll see "Add to Home screen."

  • If the site is a Progressive Web App (PWA), you may see "Install app" instead. Both options work similarly.

Rename the Shortcut (Optional)
5. Edit the name if you want it to appear differently on your home screen.
6. Tap "Add."

Confirm Placement
7. Choose "Add to home screen" manually or drag the icon if prompted, or just confirm by tapping "Add automatically."

Done!
8. The shortcut will now appear on your home screen like an app. Tapping it will open the website.
