Install POS as an App on iPad

Here’s a simple guide to add the website pos.afosto.app to your iPad’s home screen as a web app:

  1. Open Safari
    Launch the Safari browser on your iPad. This only works in Safari, not in other browsers like Chrome.
  2. Go to the Website
    Type pos.afosto.app in the address bar and press Go (or Enter) to navigate to the site.
  3. Open the Share Menu
    Once the website loads, tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen. This icon looks like a square with an arrow pointing upward.
  4. Select ‘Add to Home Screen’
    Scroll down in the menu that appears until you see “Add to Home Screen”. Tap it.
  5. Customize the Name (Optional)
    A screen will appear where you can rename the shortcut. By default, it uses the website name (e.g., "pos.afosto.app"), but you can change it to something like “Afosto POS” or any name you prefer. Tap Add in the top-right corner when done.
  6. Check Your Home Screen
    Safari will close automatically, returning you to your iPad’s home screen. You’ll now see a new icon for pos.afosto.app. It looks like an app and uses the website’s favicon as the icon.
  7. Use the Web App
    Tap the icon to open the website directly. It opens in a separate window, independent of other Safari tabs, making it feel like a standalone app.

Extra Tips

  • Move the Icon: Press and hold the icon to move it to another spot on your home screen or into a folder.
  • Remove the Icon: To remove it later, press and hold the icon, tap Delete Bookmark (or a similar option), and confirm.

That’s it! You now have quick access to pos.afosto.app directly from your iPad’s home screen.
