Home Assistant is not available on the Play Store. Instead, Home Assistant leverages the new [manifest.json support](https://w3c.github.io/manifest/) to allow Android devices to add the web application to your homescreen as if it was a native application.
1. Open Chrome
2. Navigate to your Home Assistant instance
3. Click on the menu icon (three vertical dots)
4. Click on Add to Homescreen
5. A dialog will popup, click on Add
