Progressive Web App (PWA)
Install MagnetFrame directly onto your device as a Progressive Web App (PWA). This provides a native-like experience with a full-screen view, offline access to cached content, and support for push notifications.
How to
- Open MagnetFrame in a compatible mobile browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge).
- Look for an 'Add to Home Screen' prompt or option in your browser menu.
- Tap to install; the MagnetFrame icon will appear on your device's home screen.
- Launch MagnetFrame from this icon for a full-screen, app-like experience.
- The PWA offers limited functionality when your device is offline.
Common questions
Is the PWA available on all devices?
The PWA is designed to work on mobile devices using compatible browsers like Chrome, Safari, and Edge. Installation prompts and options may vary slightly by device and browser.
What does 'limited functionality when offline' mean?
When offline, the PWA can access cached content and features that do not require an active internet connection. Features needing real-time data or server interaction will not be available.
How is the PWA different from just using the MagnetFrame website in my browser?
The PWA provides a dedicated app icon, a full-screen experience without browser UI, and the ability to work offline with cached content. It also supports push notifications, offering a more integrated feel than a standard browser tab.
Troubleshooting
I don't see an 'Add to Home Screen' option in my browser.
Ensure you are using a compatible mobile browser like Chrome, Safari, or Edge. Check your browser's menu for an 'Add to Home Screen' or 'Install App' option, as its location can vary.
The PWA isn't working at all when I'm offline.
The PWA offers *limited* offline functionality, primarily for cached content. Features requiring live data or server communication will not work without an internet connection. Ensure you have previously visited the sections you wish to access offline so content can be cached.
