Add Skiplark to your phone

Skiplark installs straight from the web — no app store, nothing to download. Thirty seconds, and it lives on your home screen like any other app (and works even with no signal).

Opening from Facebook or Instagram? Their built-in browser can't install apps. First tap the ••• menu in the corner and choose "Open in Safari" (iPhone) or "Open in Chrome" (Android) — then follow the steps below.

On iPhone (Safari)

  1. Open skiplark.com in Safari.
  2. Tap the Share button — the square with the arrow pointing up, at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen."
  4. Tap Add. Done — the Skiplark lark is on your home screen.

On Android (Chrome)

  1. Open skiplark.com in Chrome.
  2. Tap the menu in the top corner (or the "Add Skiplark to your phone" banner if it appears).
  3. Tap "Add to Home screen"Install.

Why isn't Skiplark in the App Store?

Because installing from the web lets us fix things for you in hours, not weeks — a tester reported a bug at 10 PM recently and the fix was live before midnight. Skiplark works exactly like an app once it's on your home screen: full screen, offline, the works. App stores are on the roadmap; fast fixes for travelers come first.
