On your phone
Get the app
Keep Malawi Shine on your home screen. It installs from this page in a few seconds. No app store, and no account.
Install it now
Your phone will ask you to confirm. Nothing is sent anywhere, and you can remove it like any other app.
Your browser has not offered it yet
Open the browser’s menu (⋮ on Android, or the icon in the address bar on a computer) and choose Install or Add to Home screen. If it is not there, visit the site once more first. Some browsers wait until you have been here before offering.
It sits with your other apps
Its own icon on the home screen, and it opens full-screen without the browser's address bar in the way.
It opens on a weak signal
Pages you have already seen open again when the network is slow or gone. Anything new still needs a connection.
It is kind to a data bundle
The fonts, styles and images are fetched once and kept, instead of being paid for again on every visit.
It is the same website
Nothing to download from a store, nothing to update, and it takes about as much room as a photograph.
On an Android phone
- Open this page in Chrome.
- Press Install the app above, or open the browser’s menu (⋮) and Add to Home screen.
- Confirm. The icon appears with your other apps.
On an iPhone or iPad
- Open this page in Safari. Chrome on an iPhone cannot do this.
- Tap the Share button, then scroll down to Add to Home Screen.
- Tap Add.
On a computer
Chrome and Edge show a small install icon at the right-hand end of the address bar. Click it, and the site opens in its own window from then on, which suits anyone working in the office all day.
What it keeps on your phone
Only the public pages you have already opened, and the files the site is built from, so they open again without a signal. Nothing you type is stored, and no part of the staff console is ever kept on the phone: it is fetched fresh every time, and only after signing in. Clearing the app’s data, or removing the app, removes all of it.
Staff use the same app. Sign in as usual from the small Staff only tab at the very bottom of any page, and the console opens inside it.
