Mobile App Available!


GriddleMadness

Do you prefer having a dedicated app on your mobile device's home screen instead of using its web browser? 

Well, we have great news!  We've put together a PWA (Progressive Web App) that will allow members to install a dedicated app for the site directly onto their devices.  This will be similar to other applications you use on your devices.  Unlike a browser, this will allow you to receive real time notifications such as when you get a PM, someone replies to your topic, etc even if you aren't in the app.  Not all members may want to install an app, in which case using your devices web browser as you always have will continue to work as it always has. 👍

Note:  If you have an existing Home Screen app/shortcut for Griddle Madness, you will need to delete it and re-add with the process below!


WHAT IS A PWA?:

A progressive web app (PWA) is an app that's built using web platform technologies, but that provides a user experience like that of a platform-specific app.
