ON YOUR HOME SCREEN

Put The Tipoff on your mobile or tablet.

Add The Tipoff to your home screen and it opens full screen from its own icon, just like an app. It's free, and there's nothing to download from an app store.

iPhone and iPad

Use Safari

  1. 1Open Safari and go to thetipoff.app.
  2. 2Tap the Share button (the box with an arrow pointing up). Can't see it? Tap ••• first.
  3. 3In the list that opens from the bottom, tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. 4Tap Add, then open The Tipoff from the new icon on your home screen.

The first time you open it from your home screen, you'll need to sign in once. On iPhone and iPad, the home-screen app keeps its own sign-in, separate from Safari.

Android

Use Chrome

  1. 1Open Chrome and go to thetipoff.app.
  2. 2Tap the ⋮ menu (top right), then Install and create shortcut.
  3. 3In the pop-up at the bottom, tap Install (not “Create shortcut”).
  4. 4Tap Install again if asked, then open The Tipoff from your home screen.

Don't see that option? Look for Install app or Add to Home screen in the same menu. If you're already signed in on Chrome, you'll be signed in straight away.

Using a different browser?

Most browsers can do this too. Look in the browser's menu or Share button for “Add to Home Screen” or “Install”.

Opened this from WhatsApp, Instagram or an email app?

Those apps open links in their own viewer, which can't add to your home screen. Tap ••• and choose Open in browser (Safari or Chrome) first, then follow the steps above.

Want notifications? (optional)

You don't need notifications to use The Tipoff. Turn them on if you'd like the occasional update, like new competitions and features. You can switch them off any time in My Profile.

  1. 1Open The Tipoff from your home screen.
  2. 2Tap ☰ → My Profile → Notifications → Enable.
  3. 3Tap Allow when your phone asks.

On iPhone and iPad, notifications only work in the home-screen app (iOS 16.4 or later), not in a Safari tab. If you're using The Tipoff, or a Focus or Do Not Disturb mode is on, notifications may arrive quietly: swipe down from the top of your screen to see them. Not getting any? In My Profile, tap Disable, then Enable again.
