How Do I Use Kicksite as an App?

Updated

 

You can use the Chrome browser to save a shortcut to Kicksite on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. This shortcut works just like an app icon to open Kicksite.

Note: As of this writing, Kicksite is not available as an app in the Google Play Store (Android) or the Apple App Store (iOS).

Also, please note that these instructions apply to an employee or administrator’s view. If you wish to use Kicksite as an app and you are a student, click here for the Member Portal instructions.

 

To save Kicksite as an app on your smartphone or tablet using Chrome:

  1. Tap the Chrome browser icon on your smartphone or tablet.
  2. Type the URL for your Kicksite account (https://yourschool.kicksite.net — replacing “yourschool” with the unique subdomain for your Kicksite account).
  3. At the bottom of the screen, tap Add Kicksite to Home Screen. (The following screenshots are from an Android smartphone; your screen may look a little different.)
  4. Tap Add in the pop-up that appears.

You can then open, move, or uninstall the Kicksite icon on your smartphone or tablet the same way as any other app icon.

     

To save Kicksite as an app on your iPhone using Safari:

  1. Make sure you’re logged into Kicksite in Safari.

A Kicksite icon will be added to your Home Screen. Tap the Kicksite icon to go directly to Kicksite. (Note that you will need to log in as usual.)

  3. Click the menu button (three vertical dots) and then click Install Kicksite.
  4. In the pop-up that appears, click the Install button.
  5. You can now click the Kicksite icon to run it as an app on your computer.
