What is eyeson Lite and how can it be used?

One of eyeson's top priorities is guaranteeing great user experience and performance.

Thus, we thought it would be nice to offer mobile web visitors the possibility to add our web application to their home screen. Seeing that we have a native application called "eyeson team", too, we configured our web app manifest to use the name "eyeson Lite".

We used the full potential of a Progressive Web Application (PWA), because it comes with many advantages and features we all love from using mobile applications.

Besides having a splash screen when starting the software and working in a full screen mode, a PWA delivers the look and feel of a common standalone software on mobile devices and any desktop computer. Essentially, however, a PWA uses the same URL as the browser for access.

For android users this is available only with the Chrome browser. When you open the link accounts.eyeson.team, you will be prompted with a pop-up "Add eyeson Lite to Home Screen" link.

For iOS users, you will have to manually select "Add to Home Screen".

Once you completed this step, you can use eyeson without opening the browser.
