Put VendBuddy on your home screen
It works like an app: full-screen, one tap from your phone, always signed in. Takes about 10 seconds — no App Store needed.
On iPhone the button opens the exact steps — Apple only allows installs through Safari’s Share menu.
Steps for your browser
📱 iPhone — Safari
- Open vendbuddy.io in Safari.
- Tap the Share button (the square with the arrow, bottom center).
- Scroll DOWN past the app icons and the first few actions — this is the step everyone misses.
- Tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.
📱 iPhone — Chrome
- Open vendbuddy.io in Chrome.
- Tap the Share icon (top right).
- Scroll down the list and tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.
🤖 Android — Chrome or Edge
- Menu ⋮ (top right) → Add to Home screen (newer versions say Install app). Heads up: it lives in the browser menu — the Share menu will NOT show it on Android.
- Shortcut: the big Add to home screen button above fires the one-tap Install prompt when Chrome offers it.
🤖 Android — Samsung Internet
- Menu ≡ (bottom right) → Add page to → Home screen.
🦊 Android — Firefox
- Menu ⋮ → Add to Home screen (on newer versions: Install).
💻 Desktop — Chrome or Edge
- Look for the install icon in the address bar (a monitor with a down arrow), or menu → Cast, save and share → Install VendBuddy.
Not seeing “Add to Home Screen”? The three causes, in order of likelihood:
1. You are looking in the wrong menu (Android). On Android the option is in the browser’s ⋮ menu (top right) — the Share menu will not show it. If your share sheet lists things like Copy, Search on Google, or translate options, that is the Share menu — back out and tap ⋮ instead.
2. You are inside another app’s built-in browser. Gmail, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and Yandex open links in their own webview, which hides the option. Tap ⋮ or … and choose Open in Safari / Open in Chrome, then retry.
3. You did not scroll far enough (iPhone). In Safari’s share sheet the option sits below the fold — swipe the action list upward past Copy and Add to Reading List. If it is truly gone, tap Edit Actions at the very bottom of the share sheet and re-enable it.
