Stuck? Quick fixes
I don’t see “Add to Home Screen”
- Make sure you’re in Safari, not in Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Gmail or a text preview. Their built-in browsers can’t add apps.
- In the share list, scroll all the way down. You can also tap Edit Actions and add it.
Should “Open as Web App” be on or off?
On. On makes it open full screen like a real app and lets it send notifications. Off just saves a bookmark that opens in Safari.
Notifications aren’t coming in
- Open the app from the Home Screen icon (not Safari), go to Me › Notifications and turn them on.
- On iPhone, check Settings › Notifications › Study Buddy is allowed.
- iPhones need iOS 16.4 or newer for app notifications.
It asks me to sign in again
That’s normal the first time. The Home Screen app keeps its own sign-in, separate from Safari. Sign in once and it remembers you.
The app looks stuck or out of date
Close it and open it again. Still stuck? Open studybuddypro.app/mobile/?reset-app=1 once in the same browser to refresh it.
How do I remove it?
Press and hold the Study Buddy icon, then tap Remove App (iPhone) or Uninstall (Android). Your account and progress stay safe.
