Installing Frenz on your phone
In short
There is no app store download. Add Frenz to your home screen from your browser and it opens full-screen like an installed app, using the copy already in your browser.
Why there is no app store listing
Frenz is a web app. It installs from the page you are already on, which means no store account, no review queue between a fix and you having it, and no several-hundred-megabyte download.
The practical difference once installed is small and mostly good: it opens in its own window with no browser chrome, and it keeps working on a bad connection for anything it has already cached.
On iPhone and iPad
Installing is only possible from Safari on iOS — Chrome and Firefox on iPhone cannot add to the home screen, which is an Apple restriction rather than a Frenz one.
- Open frenzsave.com in SafariAny page will do; the home page is fine.
- Tap ShareThe square with an arrow coming out of it, in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
- Choose Add to Home ScreenIt sits partway down the share sheet, below the row of apps. Then tap Add.
On Android
Chrome usually offers to install Frenz by itself after a visit or two. If you would rather not wait for the prompt, open the three-dot menu and choose Install app, or Add to Home screen on older versions.
What changes once installed
You can share a link straight into Frenz from another app's share sheet, instead of copying it and switching over by hand.
Pages you have already opened stay available offline. A download itself still needs a connection — the video has to come from somewhere.
Common questions
- Is a real App Store or Play Store app coming?
- It is on the roadmap and not shipped. Until it is, this page describes the only install that exists — we would rather say that than list a store link that goes nowhere.
- Will installing use up my storage?
- Barely. It reuses the copy your browser already has rather than downloading a separate application. The files you save take up space; the app itself is negligible.
