Notes:
A Progressive Web Application (PWA) is a type of web app that can operate both as a web page and a mobile app on any device. The PWA utilizes caching of pages and features to allow for offline access—and while this offline capability is in place even without install, installing creates an app-like shortcut to be pinned to your device for quick and easy access.
To install, navigate to a website from a web browser that you can sign in with and follow the instructions* above for your device type.
