Mobile setup (iPhone)

On the mountain, you’ll use the coach app way more than you think. Get it on your home screen as a PWA (Progressive Web App) so it opens standalone — no Safari chrome — and supports push notifications.

This must be done from Safari on iOS, not Chrome. (Apple-imposed limitation; explained at the bottom of this page.)

Step by step

  1. Open ts.onsnowlive.com/coach/today in Safari on your iPhone.
  2. Sign in if needed (magic link from your email — see Signing in).
  3. Tap the Share button (square with arrow up) at the bottom of Safari.

  1. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
  2. The name will be “TS Coach” — leave it or rename, then Add.

  1. You’ll see a new icon on your home screen. Tap it.
  2. The app opens standalone (no URL bar, no Safari tabs). This is the PWA mode.

You’re set. From now on, just tap the home-screen icon.

Why Safari and not Chrome?

On iOS, every browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) is forced to use Apple’s WebKit under the hood, but only Safari can produce a real standalone PWA from Add to Home Screen. Chrome iOS adds a shortcut that opens Chrome instead.

After the install, you can use any browser for normal browsing — the home-screen icon is independent.

Android

On Android Chrome, push notifications work without an install — visit the site, tap Enable push in settings, grant permission, done. Adding to home screen is optional but recommended for the standalone feel.
