Getting ready

Before you start

  1. 1 Go to https://app.squadspot.com.au in a supported browser for your device (see each section below).
  2. 2 On the login page, look for the Install SquadSpot card and tap Install. On iPhone and iPad the card points you here instead, because Safari has no install button.
  3. 3 Already signed in? Use the Install app button in the header of your dashboard.
  4. 4 No card or button? Your browser hasn’t offered an install yet. Follow the manual steps for your device below — they always work.
Apple note
iPhone, iPad and Mac Safari do not show a one-tap browser install button the same way Chrome does. Use Share → Add to Home Screen or Add to Dock instead.

Desktop

Mac & Windows

Mac — Safari

Recommended on macOS Sonoma and later

  1. 1 Go to https://app.squadspot.com.au in Safari.
  2. 2 In the menu bar, choose File → Add to Dock… (on some macOS versions this may appear under the Share menu).
  3. 3 Confirm the name (SquadSpot) and click Add.
  4. 4 Launch SquadSpot from the Dock.
Alternative (older Safari)
  1. 1 Click the Share button in the toolbar.
  2. 2 Choose Add to Dock or Add to Home Screen.
  3. 3 Confirm and open from the Dock.
Mac — Chrome or Edge
  1. 1 Go to https://app.squadspot.com.au in Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
  2. 2 If the Install SquadSpot card appears on the login page, click Install. Signed in already? Use Install app in the dashboard header.
  3. 3 Chrome: click the install icon in the address bar, or go to ⋮ → Cast, save, and share → Install SquadSpot…
  4. 4 Edge: click the App available (⊕) icon in the address bar, or ⋯ → Apps → Install this site as an app.
  5. 5 Confirm Install. SquadSpot opens in its own window and is available from Launchpad, Spotlight, or the app list.
Windows — Chrome or Edge
  1. 1 Go to https://app.squadspot.com.au in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
  2. 2 If the Install SquadSpot card appears on the login page, click Install. Signed in already? Use Install app in the dashboard header.
  3. 3 Chrome: click the install icon in the address bar, or ⋮ → Cast, save, and share → Install SquadSpot…
  4. 4 Edge: click App available in the address bar, or ⋯ → Apps → Install this site as an app.
  5. 5 Confirm Install. Find SquadSpot in the Start menu, taskbar, or as a desktop shortcut.

Firefox on Windows does not fully support installing PWAs the same way. Use Chrome or Edge for the best experience.

Tablet

iPad & Android

iPad (Safari)
  1. 1 Go to https://app.squadspot.com.au in Safari (Add to Home Screen is most reliable in Safari).
  2. 2 Tap the Share button (square with an arrow pointing up).
  3. 3 Scroll and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. 4 Confirm the name and tap Add.
  5. 5 Open SquadSpot from the home screen like any other app.
  • In landscape or Stage Manager, Safari’s Share button is usually in the toolbar.
  • If you don’t see Add to Home Screen, tap Edit Actions… / More and enable it.
Android tablet (Chrome)
  1. 1 Go to https://app.squadspot.com.au in Chrome.
  2. 2 If the Install SquadSpot card appears on the login page, tap Install.
  3. 3 Or tap ⋮ → Install app / Add to Home screen.
  4. 4 Confirm, then launch SquadSpot from the home screen or app drawer.

Phone

iPhone & Android

iPhone (Safari)
  1. 1 Go to https://app.squadspot.com.au in Safari.
  2. 2 Tap Share (square with arrow up).
  3. 3 Tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. 4 Tap Add.
  5. 5 Open SquadSpot from the home screen.
Use Safari. Installing from Chrome or Firefox on iOS usually only creates a shortcut that still opens in that browser.
Android phone (Chrome)
  1. 1 Go to https://app.squadspot.com.au in Chrome.
  2. 2 If the Install SquadSpot card appears on the login page, tap Install.
  3. 3 Or tap ⋮ → Install app / Add to Home screen.
  4. 4 Confirm installation, then open SquadSpot from the home screen or app drawer.

Samsung Internet and other Chromium-based browsers often support install as well — look for Add page to / Install in the menu.

After install

What to expect

App icon

Appears as SquadSpot on your home screen, Dock, or Start menu

Full-screen mode

Opens without the browser address bar

Login

Starts at the login screen when launched

Always current

Pages are loaded fresh every time, so you never see yesterday’s attendance

Needs a connection

Nothing is stored on the device — lose signal and you get a simple offline screen

Back online

The offline screen reloads by itself the moment your connection returns

How to remove the app
  • iPhone / iPad Long-press the icon → Remove App / Delete Bookmark
  • Android Long-press the icon → Uninstall / Remove
  • Mac (Safari) Remove from Dock like any other app, or delete from Applications if listed
  • Mac / Windows (Chrome / Edge) Open chrome://apps or edge://apps → find SquadSpot → uninstall; or uninstall from system app settings

Help

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure you’re on a secure (HTTPS) connection.
  • Use a supported browser for your device.
  • Reload the page once after your first visit — Chrome only offers to install after the app has fully loaded in the background.
  • Visit SquadSpot at least once and wait a moment — browsers often require engagement before showing install.
  • Already installed? Neither the card nor the header button will show again while the app is installed.
  • You can always install manually using the steps for your device above — the browser prompt is just a shortcut.
  • Use Safari, not an in-app browser or third-party browser.
  • Open the Share sheet and scroll — the option can be below the fold.
  • Check Share → Edit Actions and enable Add to Home Screen.
  • Update macOS / Safari.
  • Confirm you’re in Safari with SquadSpot loaded (avoid private windows if your OS restricts PWAs there).
  • Use Chrome or Edge install as a fallback.
  • You may have bookmarked the site instead of installing. Repeat install using the steps for your device.
  • On iOS, installing outside Safari often won’t create a true standalone app.
  • Uninstall and reinstall after a refresh.
  • Hard-refresh the site in the browser once before installing again.
  • SquadSpot works with live data, so it needs a connection — there is no offline copy of your club’s records.
  • Check your Wi-Fi or mobile data. The screen reloads on its own once you’re back online.
  • Tap Try again if you’re connected but the screen is still showing.
