Common questions
I cannot see Add to Home Screen
On iPhone and iPad, use Safari and scroll through the Share menu actions. On Android, check the browser menu for Add to Home Screen or Install app wording.
Can I install it later?
Yes. You can add the Home Screen shortcut whenever you want by opening SportCalendar in your phone browser.
Does it use storage?
It uses very little storage because it is a shortcut to SportCalendar in your browser, not a full app-store installation.
Will it update automatically?
Yes. The Home Screen shortcut opens the live SportCalendar website, so product updates appear automatically when you open it.
Does it work offline?
SportCalendar needs an internet connection for live fixtures, favourites and calendar setup. Some browser data may be cached, but offline use is not the main experience.
Can I remove it later?
Yes. Remove the SportCalendar icon from your Home Screen the same way you remove other shortcuts or apps on your device.
Why doesn't it look like an app?
SportCalendar runs in your browser. The Home Screen shortcut makes it quicker to open, but your device and browser still control some of the app-like presentation.
