A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a fast and reliable web application that looks and functions just like the old-fashioned mobile apps you’re used to. Although things work a little differently behind the scenes, from the user’s perspective, it’s just another app.

Why is this better?

• No app store needed
PWAs can be installed directly from your browser using the “Add to home screen” function.

• Always up to date
You never have to download updates manually, saving you time and data.

• Access from anywhere
Don’t have your phone? You can get the same app-like experience via the web link in any browser.

• Not just a bookmark
The app is installed on your phone – making it easily accessible from your home screen.

• Quicker to run
PWAs work more efficiently and uses less phone memory – ensuring the best customer experience.
