How to install your club's app on your phone

Your club's app runs straight in the browser. Add it to your home screen and it opens full screen like any other app, one tap away. No App Store, no Google Play, and it takes up almost no space.

Why it's worth it

Typing the address every time is the number one reason people stop using a club tool. With the icon on the home screen, checking the ranking or reporting a match is as easy as opening WhatsApp.

The browser bar also disappears, so you see more. And since it isn't a download, it updates itself — you always have the latest version.

On iPhone and iPad

  1. Open the app in Safari Go to your club's address, for example lagalera.padelante.app. It has to be Safari — from Chrome or the browser WhatsApp opens, the option doesn't appear.
  2. Tap the Share button The square with the arrow pointing up, in the bottom bar.
  3. Choose "Add to Home Screen" It sits a bit further down the list. Swipe up inside the menu if you don't see it.
  4. Tap "Add" Top right. The club icon appears next to your other apps.
Coming from WhatsApp? Tap the three dots top right and choose "Open in Safari". This is the most common stumbling block — inside WhatsApp the install option doesn't exist.

On Android

  1. Open the app in Chrome Go to your club's address.
  2. Accept the install prompt Chrome usually offers it by itself at the bottom of the screen. Tap Install and you're done.
  3. If it doesn't show, use the menu The three dots top right, then Install app or Add to Home screen.
  4. Confirm The icon lands on your home screen and in the app drawer.

Common questions

Does it take up space?

Almost none. It isn't a full app download, just a shortcut.

Do I have to log in again?

No. If you were already signed in in the browser, the app opens with your session.

Does it update itself?

Yes. It always loads the latest published version; there is nothing to update by hand.

Does it work offline?

No. It needs internet, just like Playtomic or WhatsApp.

What if I want to remove it?

Press and hold the icon and delete it, like any app. Your account, points and history stay untouched.
