Leadmonk offers a Progressive Web App (PWA) that provides a fast and convenient way to access their service. PWAs offer several advantages over traditional websites, including:

• Faster Experience: PWAs are designed for offline functionality and quick loading times, resulting in a smoother user experience.
• App-like Feel: PWAs mimic the look and feel of native apps, with a clean interface that removes unnecessary browser elements.
• Lightweight:  PWAs are typically smaller than native apps, taking up less storage space on your device.
• Platform Agnostic: Unlike native apps, PWAs work on various devices and operating systems as long as you have a compatible web browser.

This guide will walk you through installing the Leadmonk PWA on your computer or mobile device.

3. iPhone and iPad

Chrome for iOS does not support PWAs. But you can download PWA using Safari browser. 

As mentioned above, Apple only allows Safari to create PWAs in iOS and iPadOS—third-party browsers are left out of the party.

Safari doesn’t use the terms install and app, like all other browsers that support PWAs do. 

To install one on iOS or iPadOS, load the PWA-capable site, choose the Share up-arrow at the bottom of the screen, and select Add to Home Screen.

4. Firefox

Firefox does not support the functionality to install PWA as a standalone system app with an app-like experience. Firefox, doesn’t support PWAs on the desktop, though it does on Android.  The same holds for the innovative Opera web browser.

5. Installing PWAs on macOS

In macOS, installing PWAs works just as it does on Windows, but the default Safari browser offers no method for installing a site as a PWA. You can use Chrome browser to install the PWA. Your new app does appear in Launchpad, but not in the Applications Finder folder.

6. Edge Browser

The default Windows web browser provides the best option for installing PWA’s on Microsoft’s desktop operating system. That’s because it puts the app in your Start menu just like any other app you install in normal ways. Here’s how it works:

• Navigate to the website you want to install as a PWA.
• If the app is capable of being installed as a PWA, you can either click on the icon on the right side of the address bar that looks like three squares and a plus sign (the hover text is “App available. Install [app name]) or you can choose Apps from the three-dot overflow menu and then click Install [app name]. For some PWAs, the Install box pops up automatically.
• That’s it. Your new app appears in the Start menu, gets a distinctive icon in the Taskbar (not the Edge icon), and can be converted into a desktop shortcut. If you want to uninstall the PWA, you can do so from the Start Menu's right-click menu, from Windows’ Apps and Features Setting page, or from Edge’s Manage Apps page.

By following these steps, you'll have quick and convenient access to Leadmonk through the installed PWA on your chosen device. Enjoy the benefits of a fast, app-like experience for managing your Leadmonk tasks!
