Home Assistant is not available on the Play Store or App Store. Instead, Home Assistant leverages the new W3C [manifest.json](https://w3c.github.io/manifest/) support, allowing mobile devices to add the "web app" to your homescreen as if it was native.
On Android:
1. Open Chrome
2. Navigate to your Home Assistant instance
3. Tap on the Menu icon (three vertical bars)
4. Tap on Add to Homescreen
5. A dialog will popup; tap on Add

3. Tap on the Share icon in the middle of the bottom toolbar
4. Tap on "Add to Home Screen"
5. A dialog will popup; tap on Add
