Installing a Progressive Web App

The JobProfileBuilder.com app is a 'progressive web app' meaning all you need is a webbrowser to use and/or install the app.

The JobProfileBuilder.com app can be used from with your browser just by going to JobProfileBuilder.com. If you decide that this app is worthy of using regularly, you can add it to your homescreen, just like a regular app.




Installing on iOS

Open Safari on your iOS device.

  1. Go to the URL where the Progressive Web App is hosted.

  2. Tap the "share" icon on the bottom of the screen.

  3. Tap the "Add to Home Screen" icon.

  4. Tap the "Add" button.

  5. The Progressive Web App will be installed and added to your Home Screen.


Installing on Android


  1. Open Chrome on your Android device.

  2. Navigate to the Progressive Web App URL.

  3. Tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the screen.

  4. Tap Add to Home screen.

  5. Enter a name for the Progressive Web App and tap Add.

  6. The Progressive Web App icon will appear on your home screen.


Installing on a Windows PC or Mac


Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge currently have the best support for PWAs on Windows and Mac OS. The installation process is very similar for both browsers.

First, navigate to the site you wish to install as a PWA; such as the JobProfileBuilder.com progressive web app.

If the site is a PWA, there will be an icon on the right side of the URL bar.

Click the icon then click the "Install" button. Once installed, on a Windows PC, the PWA will be available in the start menu and your desktop.

On a Mac, the PWA will be in the launcher and in the spotlight search.



What is a Progressive Web App?

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are becoming increasingly popular as a way to deliver web-based applications that have the look and feel of native apps.


PWAs are web-based applications that are designed to provide a seamless user experience and can be accessed from any device with a web browser.


One of the main advantages of PWAs over native apps is their ease of installation. Native apps must be downloaded and installed from an app store, while PWAs can be quickly installed with just a few taps on a device. This makes it easy for users to access the app without having to go through a lengthy process of downloading and installing the app.


Another advantage of PWAs is that they are more secure than native apps. Since they are built using web technologies, they are more secure and can be easily updated with the latest security patches and bug fixes. This makes it easier to keep the app up to date and secure from malicious attacks.
