Add Terralox to your phone or iPad home screen

Terralox runs in your web browser, so there's nothing to download from an app store. Adding a program to your home screen gives it its own icon and opens it full screen, like any other app.

Before you start

• Sign in and open the program you want on the home screen, for example TerraPlan (terralox.com/terraplan/app) or TerraCam (terralox.com/terracam/app). Add one icon per program.
• Do this where you have good signal. The first visit saves a copy of the program on the device so it can open later without signal.

iPad or iPhone (Safari)

1. Open the program in Safari.
2. Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow pointing up). On iPad it's at the top; on iPhone it's at the bottom.
3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
4. Keep the name (TerraPlan or TerraCam) or change it, then tap Add.
5. Open the new icon. If it asks you to sign in, sign in once. It stays signed in for 30 days.

Android phone or tablet (Chrome)

1. Open the program in Chrome.
2. Tap the ⋮ menu at the top right.
3. Tap Add to Home screen or Install app (the wording depends on your phone).
4. Tap Add or Install.

Computer (Chrome or Edge)

You can keep using the browser tab. To get a separate window, look for the install icon at the right end of the address bar, or open the browser menu and choose the install option.

Why does the home screen app ask me to sign in again?

On iPhone and iPad, a home screen app keeps its own sign-in, separate from Safari. Sign in once inside it.

The icon opens an old version

Close the app fully and open it again with good signal. See The page looks old or broken.

Can I remove it?

Yes. Press and hold the icon and choose to remove it, like any app. Before you do, make sure nothing is still waiting to upload. See Work offline and sync.
