This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**.
It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when
used with more recent versions of WordPress.

## Kuvaus

**Official Add To Homescreen** is a WordPress wrapper for the [Add To Homescreen](http://addtohome.cubiq.org)
javascript plugin. This WordPress plugin guides you through the rather complicated
javascript widget configuration.

This is the only WordPress plugin developed by the same author of the javascript
widget (hence ”official”). If you wish to be always up to date and receive the latest
bug fixes, this plugin is probably your best bet.

The plugin opens a message inviting the mobile user to add the application to the
home screen. This is currently supported on iOS and Mobile Chrome. While other devices
have the ability to bookmark any website to the home screen, only iOS and Mobile
Chrome have a straightforward way to do it. Windows Phone support is planned for
a future release.

To enhance performance and reduce complexity I’m supporting the latest two OS version
for each device only.

#### Important! Please read

Add To Homescreen development started when Apple introduced the `apple-mobile-web-
app-capable` meta tag and `standalone` mode with it. It was a great news for web
developers who had the opportunity to release full screen web applications (and 
not just websites). The script evolved over time and extended to a more general 
purpose use case.

It is important to note that **there’s no native event we could hook to to know 
when a user actually added the page to the homescreen**. That’s also the reason 
why this script has become so complicated despite the apparent simple task it has
to accomplish.

Unless you explicitly developed your application to be `mobile-web-app-capable`,
this script can’t do miracles and all the alternative solutions have to be considered
_hacks_.

The **Basic configuration** gives you four presets, the only 100% fail-safe solution
is to select the **Anonymous** option. This disables user tracking but it doesn’t
interfere with other plugins you may have.

Considering the complexity of the script, before filing a negative feedback, please
drop a support request or a bug report. It’s the only way for me to enhance this
software. Thanks!

### License

This WordPress plugin is released under the GPL license. You can use it free of 
charge for personal and commercial use, but further modifications and derivatives
have to be released under the same GPL license.

The Add To Homescreen javascript component is released under [MIT license](http://cubiq.org/license),
which basically means you can do whatever you want with it.

## Asennus

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

 1. Upload the full directory into your `wp-content/plugins` directory
 2. Activate the plugin at the plugin administration page
 3. Open the plugin settings page under Settings > Add to homescreen and add an application
    icon. Optionally customize the options to your liking

## UKK

  Why doesn’t the call-out show up?

By default the call out is set to show up only from the second time you access the
website. Once displayed it doesn’t bother your users for another 24h. These are 
all parameters you can vary in the **Advanced settings**.

Also, remember that this works only on iOS and Chrome for Android. No other mobile
device or desktop browser will show the message.

  Can I upgrade to this plugin if I’m using an Add To Homescreen wrapper from another
developer/vendor?

Yes. This plugin detects previous versions of the javascript component and knows
if users have already added the website to the home screen.

Just remember to deactivate the other plugins before installing this one.

Some are saying it doesn't work and it may be due to default setting is to ignore
a first visit and only show on home page. It's working for us so it works

I'd be nice if you could set each icon depending on the os. Since google just announced
round icons and apple has square, one icon for both would look weird.

 [joed777](https://profiles.wordpress.org/joed777/) 3.9.2016

Here's my constructive review. It worked only once on very first use with same device.
I changed the settings so that the "bubble" would display more frequently, but it
never did. I also cleared all my history, powered the device off/on, deactivated
and activated the plugin again, etc. I'm using WP 4.4.1 with an OptimizePress site
and it worked perfectly only one time and did exactly what was supposed to do on
my iPhone; IOS version 8.1.1. The developer does state that the plugin is compatible
with WP version up to 4.0, so perhaps I was pushing the envelope a bit 🙂 Also wondering
if my other plugins are creating a conflict, so this warrants further testing. The
developer aslo indicates that it works on IOS devices and Chrome for Android, but
quite possibly the plugin might also work on Chrome for Samsung Galaxy. In any event,
I think you've covered a fairly broad universe of users. I think this is such a 
valuable tool for users to keep an icon on their mobile desktops as a way to quickly
access a website; similarly to accessing a native app. Thanks also for the great
instructions and plethora of options to customize how the plugin behaves. Someone
else already mentioned this, but I also love the statistics feature 🙂 Looking forward
to future enhancements and the possible bug fixes as summarized at the top of this
review.
