Put it on your home screen

This gives you an app icon, so you never have to search for the page again.

Use Safari (the blue compass). It won’t work from inside Gmail or Facebook — open the link in Safari first.

  1. Open the Director app page in Safari.
  2. Tap the ••• button next to the address bar, then tap Share.
    Older iPhones: tap the Share button ⬆︎ at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. Leave Open as Web App turned on, then tap Add.

📲 Look for the TYA Director icon on your home screen. From now on, open the app from there.
