# PWA Installation

You can access Alt.town in two ways: through web browser access or by installing the PWA (Progressive Web App). Since we’re optimized for mobile, we recommend adding us to your home screen for a seamless experience if that’s what you prefer.

\*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.

## **Install on Android (Chrome)**
