# Using ProductiveRecruit on mobile

There's no native ProductiveRecruit app. Learn how the responsive web app works on your phone or tablet, and how to get the best experience there.

There's no separate ProductiveRecruit app to download. You use the same site in your phone's browser, built to resize and reflow for a smaller screen. Everything you can do on desktop (build your profile, manage your target list, send emails, check tracking) works the same way on mobile.

## Is there an app store app?

No. ProductiveRecruit doesn't have a native iOS or Android app yet, so there's nothing to install from the App Store or Google Play. Open [app.productiverecruit.com](https://app.productiverecruit.com) in Safari, Chrome, or any modern mobile browser and log in like you would on a computer. You can still get an icon on your home screen, covered below.

## What works well on mobile

The dashboard, profile editor, target list, email composer, and tracking views all adapt to a phone-sized screen: layouts stack vertically, filters collapse into compact menus, and buttons stay tappable. Some tasks are just easier with more screen space, like reviewing a long target list, so a tablet or laptop is worth using for heavier editing sessions when you have one handy. But nothing is off-limits on a phone.

## Add it to your home screen

You can put ProductiveRecruit one tap away, so you're not typing the URL or digging through browser tabs every time. It takes about ten seconds.

**On iPhone or iPad**

1. Open [app.productiverecruit.com](https://app.productiverecruit.com) in **Safari** and log in.
2. Tap the **Share** button, the square with an arrow pointing up (bottom of the screen on iPhone, top on iPad).
3. Scroll down the list and tap **Add to Home Screen**.
4. Name it something short like "Recruit," then tap **Add**.

**On Android**

1. Open [app.productiverecruit.com](https://app.productiverecruit.com) in **Chrome** and log in.
2. Tap the three-dot menu in the top right.
3. Tap **Add to Home screen**.
4. Confirm with **Add**.

Because you stay logged in on your phone, tapping the icon takes you straight to your dashboard. It's the single best thing you can do to actually keep up with recruiting between practices, since checking for coach replies stops being a chore.

> This uses your browser's built-in bookmarking, so what lands on your home screen is a link with an icon rather than a downloaded app. It still opens in your browser, and it won't send you push notifications. Nothing to update, and you can remove it like any other icon.

## A few honest limits

- **No push notifications.** Coach opens, clicks, and new checklist items show up when you check the app, not as a phone notification. Email alerts still reach your inbox, so keep those on if you want to know quickly. See [Notifications](/docs/tracking/notifications).
- **No offline mode.** You need an internet connection to load and use the site, same as on desktop.

## Tips for using it on your phone

- Logged out unexpectedly? Your session likely just expired — log back in. See [Resetting your password](/docs/faq/reset-password) if you're stuck at the login screen.
- Double-check your message on the small screen before sending. See [Reviewing and personalizing emails](/docs/email/review-and-personalize).
