# Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. Use your phone's web browser, add the site to your home screen, or download the app for iPhone or Android.

Yes. There are three ways, and you can choose the one that suits you. For step-by-step help for your device, open [Get the app](/install-app) .

## 1. Your phone's web browser

Open the website in your phone's browser and sign in. Every page and every feature works, and you always have the newest version. This is the most stable way to use it on a phone.

## 2. Add it to your home screen

You can save the website to your home screen, so it opens from its own icon like an app. This works on Android phones using Chrome, and on Windows computers using Chrome or Edge.

On iPhone and iPad, saving it as an icon does not work reliably yet. The website itself works normally in Safari.

## 3. The app for iPhone and Android

The free app, called Timebank Global, is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. It works on iOS 15.1 or later and on Android 7.0 or later, and the iPhone app also installs on an iPad. It is an early release that is still being developed, so some things may not work quite right yet. When you first open it, choose your community from the list and sign in with your usual account.

Not sure which to choose? Use your phone's web browser.
