Works on iOS, Android & Web
Put your network on your home screen
Hi Networking is built mobile-first. Install it once and you can capture a new contact, scan a QR code or check an event in seconds — even when the venue Wi-Fi gives up.
Install Hi Networking in about 10 seconds
Free, no app store, ~1 MB. It’s the same account you already use on the web.
iPhone & iPad: Add to Home Screen
Safari never shows an install button — you add the app yourself in three taps:
- 1. Tap the Share icon (square with an arrow) in Safari’s bottom bar — top right on iPad.
- 2. Swipe up in the share sheet and tap “Add to Home Screen”.
- 3. Tap “Add” at the top right, then open the new Hi Networking icon from your home screen.
Using Chrome on iPhone? Open this page in Safari first — only Safari can add apps to the home screen. This page detects the installed app automatically and confirms it below.
Why install it
One tap from your home screen
Capture a contact the second you meet them — no browser, no tabs, no typing a URL.
Works offline at events
Weak venue Wi-Fi? Saved contacts queue locally and sync automatically when you reconnect.
Full-screen, app-like speed
No address bar, instant launches and a layout designed mobile-first for on-the-go networking.
Camera, QR and NFC ready
Scan business cards, LinkedIn QR codes and tap-to-share instantly from the installed app.
Nothing to download from a store
It installs straight from your browser in seconds and updates itself — no store account needed.
Step-by-step
Choose your device to see the exact taps. Use the left and right arrow keys to move between devices.
4 installation steps for iPhone & iPad.
Step 1 of 4: Tap the Share button in Safari’s bottom bar
It is the square with an arrow pointing up, in the middle of the toolbar at the bottom of the screen (on iPad it sits at the top right).
Step 2 of 4: Scroll down and tap “Add to Home Screen”
The share sheet lists apps first — swipe up through the grey list of actions until you see the ⊞ “Add to Home Screen” row.
Step 3 of 4: Tap “Add” at the top right
You can shorten the name first. Then the Hi Networking icon appears on your home screen right away.
Step 4 of 4: Open the new icon, not Safari
Launching from the home-screen icon gives you full screen, camera access for scanning and offline capture.

Find the line that matches what you see — each one has a one-step fix.
No “Add to Home Screen” row in the share sheet
Swipe up inside the share sheet — the row sits below the grey actions list. Still missing? Tap “Edit Actions” at the bottom and switch “Add to Home Screen” on.
You’re not in Safari
Chrome, Firefox, Edge and in-app browsers (Instagram, LinkedIn, WhatsApp) can’t install on iOS. Tap ⋯ / ⋯ menu → “Open in Safari”, or type hinetworking.com/install in Safari.
Private Browsing is on
Safari hides “Add to Home Screen” in Private tabs. Tap the tabs button, switch from Private to a normal tab group, reload this page and try again.
The icon isn’t on your home screen
iOS may have dropped it on the last page or into the App Library. Swipe left to the last home screen page, or pull down and search “Hi Networking”.
It opens in Safari with an address bar
You launched the bookmark instead of the app icon, or an older shortcut exists. Delete the old icon (long-press → Remove), then repeat the three steps above.
Restrictions or a managed device
Settings → Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions must allow installing apps. On a work-managed iPhone your MDM profile may block home-screen web apps — ask your IT admin.
After a fix, tap “Check installation” above — or simply open the new icon and this page will confirm the install by itself.
Did these steps work for you?
Bring your community on board in one scan
Print the QR for your table, or send the ready-made announcement to your community group. Both point to the install guide, so everyone lands on the right steps for their phone.
📱 Hi Networking is now on your phone. Add it to your home screen in 10 seconds: capture contacts offline at the table, share your card by QR or NFC, and see who is coming to the next meetup. Install: https://hinetworking.com/install
Questions
- Is Hi Networking on the App Store or Google Play?
- You don’t need a store. Hi Networking installs straight from your browser as a Progressive Web App (PWA) — it lives on your home screen, launches full screen and updates itself automatically.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes. Contact capture works without a connection: entries queue on your device and sync automatically the moment you’re back online.
- Do I need a separate account?
- No. Sign in once with the same account you use on the web — your contacts, communities and events are identical everywhere.
- How much space does it use?
- Around 1 MB, a fraction of a native app. You can remove it any time by deleting the icon.
