abacova abacova on your phone
There are two ways to carry abacova in your pocket. The iPhone app gives you notifications and biometric unlock; installing from your browser works on any phone and downloads nothing. Pick whichever fits.
Which one suits you
| Which one suits you | iPhone app | From your browser |
|---|---|---|
| Notifications | Yes | Not yet |
| Biometric unlock | Yes, with Face ID or fingerprint | No |
| Install effort | A download from the App Store | One tap, nothing to download |
| How updates arrive | Automatically from the App Store | Always the latest when you open it |
On Android, the browser route is the way for now: the native app is not distributed yet. The iPhone app is on the App Store; if you cannot find it in your country, install from your browser instead — it works just as well.
iPhone: from the App Store
The native app. Notifications, Face ID unlock, and everything else. Requires iOS 16.4 or later.
- Scan the QR code with your iPhone camera, or tap the App Store button from the phone itself.
- Tap Get and confirm the install.
- Open abacova and sign in with the same account you use on your computer. Your data is already there.
Any phone: from your browser
abacova installs like an app straight from your browser: its own icon on the home screen and a full screen, with no browser bars. It downloads nothing and takes practically no space.
Android (Chrome)
- Open app.abacova.com in Chrome.
- Tap the three-dot menu, top right, and choose the install option. Depending on your version of Chrome it reads Install and create shortcut, Add to Home screen, or Install app.
- A box titled Install app appears, showing the abacova icon. Confirm with Install.
- Open it from its home-screen icon, not from Chrome — that is what makes it open full screen.
iPhone (Safari)
- Open app.abacova.com in Safari. It has to be Safari — the option does not appear in other iPhone browsers.
- Tap the Share button — the square with an arrow pointing up — in the bottom bar.
- Scroll down the list and tap Add to Home Screen. It sits further down than you would expect.
- Tap Add, top right.
- Open it from its home-screen icon, not from Safari — that is what makes it open full screen.
