Soon is a so-called Progressive Web App (PWA), a new kind of app that combines the best of web and platform-specific (native) apps for an ultimate user experience. A PWA does not require to be downloaded through an app store, is always up-to-date with the latest version, is very lightweight in terms of size, and can be installed on any device.

We recommend installing Soon on your mobile and computer for quick access and an improved user experience. Additionally, we suggest enabling email notifications to get instant updates on last-minute schedule changes.

Installing on your phone

Make sure you navigate to the correct sign-in domain when installing Soon on your device. If your team is on the Enterprise plan, you will need to navigate to your team’s private sign-in page.

Install Soon on Android by navigating in the Chrome browser to the Soon public page or private sign-in page for Enterprise clients.

On Android, you are automatically prompted if you want to install Soon on your phone. By confirming the message, the app is directly installed and added to your Home Screen. If you decline this message, you will still be able to install Soon at any time by tapping on â‹® more options, selecting Install app, and confirming the installation by tapping Install. Soon will show up on your home screen like a native Android app.

iOS
