How does the tech mobile app work?

Last updated 2026-04-28

The tech-side experience is a Progressive Web App. There's no separate iOS or Android binary to install from a store — it's the same web URL with a mobile-optimized layout that LIVES on the home screen like a native app.

Installing on iPhone

  1. Open Safari (NOT Chrome — iOS-PWA install is Safari-only on iPhones)
  2. Go to tradelyhq.com/app
  3. Sign in with your tech credentials
  4. Tap the Share icon in the bottom toolbar
  5. Scroll down to "Add to Home Screen" and tap it
  6. Confirm the name (default: "TradelyHQ") and tap Add

You'll see a TradelyHQ icon on your home screen. Tap it — it opens fullscreen, no Safari chrome, like a native app.

Installing on Android

  1. Open Chrome
  2. Go to tradelyhq.com/app
  3. Sign in
  4. Chrome shows an "Install app" prompt at the top — tap Install
  5. (Or use the Chrome menu → "Add to Home Screen")

What you get on the tech side

Offline behavior

The PWA caches the app shell so you can OPEN it without signal. Active operations (uploading photos, checking in via GPS, marking complete) require connectivity. If you're in a basement or elevator without signal, photo uploads queue locally and retry when connectivity returns.

True offline write — making changes that sync up later — is on the BACKLOG; today the experience is "the app loads, but writes need network."

Resetting your password

Same flow as web: tap "Forgot password?" on the login screen, enter your email, click the reset link in the email. The PWA hand-off back to Safari/Chrome for the email is graceful.

Logging out

Tap the bottom-nav Sign Out button — it's directly accessible on mobile (you don't have to dig into a settings menu). Same for Change Password.
