Can I get that as an app? (iOS)

Because sometimes you want it just one tap away.

Bookmarking a web page on your Apple device so that it looks and feels like an app is amazingly simple. The steps illustrated below show an iPhone/iPod device, but the process is exactly the same on an iPad.

Open the Mobile Website

Open the Safari web browser on your device and go to the website www.horizonhomesdfw.com. If your device is an iPad, you will see the full version instead of the mobile version of the site, but the steps to "make it an app" are essentially the same.

Alternatively, if you have a QR code reader installed, you may scan the QR code to the right and then open the site in Safari. Note that some QR code readers will give you the option of viewing the site in Safari or within the QR code app. Please choose Safari.

Select a Home Page

Navigate to the page on our site that you prefer to use as your home page; the one you want to appear first when you tap the app bookmark on your home screen. For most this will be the homepage, but perhaps you always go to a specific community. It's your choice, and you can set up more than one by repeating this process with different pages.

Once you have selected your preferred home page, tap the center button along the bottom of the screen. (Illustrated to the right with a red arrow.)

Add the Bookmark

Now, tap the "Add to Home Screen" button. (Illustrated to the right with a red arrow.)

Name the Bookmark

Next, you are asked to name the bookmark. This is the name that will appear below the app bookmark on your home screen. It's up to you, but keep in mind that if you want to change the name at a later point in time, you'll have to follow these steps again to re-create the bookmark. Of course, you'll already HAVE a bookmark to your preferred homepage, so getting there will be much easier.

Once you've named it, tap the "Add" button. (Illustrated to the right with a red arrow.)

Use the Bookmark

Your app bookmark to the Highland website is now ready to use! Just tap it as you would any other app.

If the customized button icon doesn't appear right away, it's OK. Once you use the app bookmark to access the website, your device should request the custom icon at that time and display it.
