Add to your phone's home screen

NotoArta runs in your phone’s browser, so there is nothing to download from an app store. But it is nicer on the home screen: one tap to open, full screen, and notifications work.

iPhone and iPad (Safari)

1. Open app.notoarta.com in Safari, then tap the ••• button at the bottom right.

   

2. Tap Share.

   

3. In the sheet that opens, tap View More so every option shows.

   

4. Tap Add to Home Screen. If you don’t see it yet, scroll the list down.

   

5. Leave Open as Web App switched on, then tap Add at the top right.

   

6. Done. The NotoArta icon is on your home screen. From now on, open it from there.

   

No ••• button?

On older versions of iOS, the Share button (a box with an arrow pointing up) sits right in Safari’s bottom bar. Tap it, then find Add to Home Screen in the list.

Important on iPhone

Notifications only work after the app is added to the home screen and opened from there. Opened in plain Safari, notifications do not work.

Android (Chrome)

1. Open app.notoarta.com in Chrome, then tap the three-dot menu in the top right.

   

2. Choose Add to Home screen. On some phones it says Install app instead. Either one works.

   

3. If you see Install and Create shortcut, choose Install. A shortcut only opens the page in Chrome, not as an app.

   

4. In the Install app box, tap Install.

   

5. If your phone asks once more, tap Add to home screen.

   

6. Done. The Notoarta icon is now on your home screen. From now on, open it from there.

   

Play Store and App Store versions

In preparation. Until then, the steps above are all you need, and your data is the same wherever you open it.

Beware of APK files

NotoArta is never shared as an .apk file over WhatsApp or Drive. If someone sends you a file like that in NotoArta’s name, do not install it.
