# Get Started

Alt.town is built as a progressive web app (PWA).

Instead of installing a separate app from the app store, you can access it through a web browser and download it to your smartphone like an app.

## **Getting started in Safari on iOS (iPhone)**

1. Access the Alt.town site using your Safari browser.
2. Click the Share button at the bottom center of the Safari browser.
3. Select the ‘Add to Home Screen’ menu.

## **Getting started in Chrome (Android)**

1. Access the Alt.town site using your Chrome browser.
2. Click the menu at the top right corner of the Chrome browser.
3. Select the ‘Add to Home Screen’ menu.

*🌟 For Android smartphones, we recommend using the Chrome browser. If you are using the Samsung Internet browser and experience login issues, restart the PWA and try again.*
