Your smartphone or tablet’s home screen isn’t just for apps. Whatever platform you’re using, you can pin IntroSTAR website to your home screen so you can quickly access it. Some platforms offer bonus features. For example, Chrome for Android opens it in their own window with no browser interface, while Windows 8 and Windows Phone offer live tile updates.

Android

Launch Chrome for Android and open the IntroSTAR website. Tap the menu button and tap Add to homescreen. You’ll be able to enter a name for the shortcut and then Chrome will add it to your home screen. The icon will appear on your home screen like any other app shortcut or widget, so you can drag it around and put it wherever you like. Other popular Android browsers also offer this feature. For example, Firefox for Android can do this if you tap the menu button, tap the Page option, and tap Add to Home Screen.

iPhone, iPad, & iPod Touch

Launch the Safari browser on Apple’s iOS and navigate to the IntroSTAR website. Tap the Share button on the browser’s toolbar — that’s the rectangle with an arrow pointing upward. It’s on the bar at the top of the screen on an iPad, and on the bar at the bottom of the screen on an iPhone or iPod Touch. Tap the Add to Home Screen icon in the Share menu. You’ll be prompted to name the shortcut before tapping the Add button. The shortcut can be dragged around and placed anywhere, including in app folders — just like a normal app icon. (To create app folders on iOS, touch-and-drag an app’s icon onto another app’s icon and hold it there for a moment.) When you tap the icon, it will load the website in a normal tab inside the Safari browser app. Other browsers, like Chrome for iOS, don’t offer this feature. Due the limitations in Apple’s iOS, only Apple’s own Safari browser is allowed to do this.

Windows 8, 8.1, RT, & 10

Windows 8, 8.1, and RT devices also offer a way to pin websites to your Start screen. This is obviously most useful on tablets, not on desktop PCs where you don’t want to see the Start screen. On the Windows desktop, you can pin IntroSTAR website shortcuts to your taskbar for easier access. First, open the modern Internet Explorer browser — that’s what you’re probably using on a tablet, anyway, as it offers the most touch-optimized experience. Navigate to the IntroSTAR website, pull up the app bar — for example, by right-clicking or swiping up from the bottom of your screen — and tap the star icon. Tap the pin icon, enter a name for the shortcut, and click Pin to Start. The IntroSTAR website will appear as a tile on your Start screen.

For windows 10 device, open Internet Explorer and open IntroSTAR website. Then, tap more, on the bottom right side of the screen. From the list of options displayed, tap pin to start. A tile is created on the Start screen, which you can use to quickly open IntroSTAR website.
