Add Where's This Food to your home screen
Put a Where's This Food icon on your phone or iPad. Tap it, and the site opens like an app — full screen, ready to swipe.
On a phone, this page picks the right steps for you. You can also choose a tab.

It's the square with an arrow pointing up, in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen.

Already installed?
If you already have a Where's This Food icon on your home screen, you're set. Tap it anytime to open the live site, full screen. No need to add it again.
Why isn't this an app in the store?
Where's This Food changes constantly — new photos, new restaurants, and new features land on the website first. A store app would lag behind, and you'd have to wait for an update.
The home-screen icon opens the live site in an app-like window, so you always have the newest version. Like it? Click it. Don't like it? Keep looking.
