How fitDEGREE Works Like an App—Without the App Store

Modified on Mon, 24 Feb at 1:56 PM

What is a Progressive Web App (PWA)?

A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a web-based application that looks and feels like a native mobile app, but runs directly in a browser—no downloads required.


fitDEGREE is built as a Progressive Web App, meaning clients can:

  • Access it on any web-enabled device (phone, tablet, or computer).
  • Use it without downloading an app from the App Store or Google Play.
  • Bookmark it to their home screen for an app-like experience.

For those using virtual services, the PWA is required, since iOS apps cannot display or sell virtual items.


How to Add the fitDEGREE Web App to Your Home Screen

For iPhone (Safari) Users

  1. Open Safari and go to your fitSpot’s web app link.
  2. Tap the Share Icon (square with an arrow).
  3. Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen".
  4. Name it whatever you’d like and tap "Add".
  5. The fitDEGREE app will now appear on your home screen!

For Android (Chrome) Users

  2. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
  3. Select "Add to Home Screen".

  5. The fitDEGREE app will now function just like a native app!
