Adding IW Pro to your Home Screen
/Update: Some Android users have found that this isn’t working anymore. We think that there was a change made to Chrome. It may work better if you have only one tab in your browser window when you add it to your Home Screen.
Both Android and iOS users should try Opera Mini or Opera if they are experiencing any issues with not being able to see all of the controls.
By adding IW Pro to your home screen you can easily click on the icon that is created instead of going to your browser to open up IW pro. This also has the advantage of giving IW Pro more screen space. You may need to pinch the screen to make IW Pro fit. Since there is no refresh button please click on the chosen radar twice when you need to reload the page.
How to add IW Pro to your home screen:
Safari or Chrome on iOS
open up IW Pro
click on the Share button
scroll to “Add to Home Screen” and click on it
change the name to IW pro (or whatever you would like)
Chrome on Android
open up IW Pro
click on the three dots
scroll to “Add to Home Screen” and click on it
change the name to IW pro (or whatever you would like)
