Bumble Bee Watch Mobile App Deprecation
Bumble Bee Watch has recently rebuilt their databases and revamped the user experience. To help streamline our efforts, we’ve decided to remove the standalone web app, but you can continue to interact with Bumble Bee Watch on your mobile device. The new website is fully responsive and mobile friendly, and the site can easily be saved to your home screen for easy access.
To add Bumble Bee Watch as a web app to your phone:
iPhone or iPad
- Open Safari. Other browsers, such as Chrome, won't work for this.
- Navigate to BumbleBeeWatch.org
- Tap the Share button. It looks like a square with an arrow pointing out of the top.
- Scroll down until you see Add to Home Screen and select.
- Choose a name for the website shortcut on your home screen - BBW works well! You'll see the link so you can confirm it, as well as the favicon (see left) that will appear as the "app" icon on your home screen. Click Add when you're done. Safari will close automatically and you will be taken to where the icon is located on your iPhone's or iPad's home screen. You can now interact with the icon (move it around, group it, etc.) as if it was an app. Select the app to open Bumble Bee Watch .
- Open Chrome.
- Navigate to BumbleBeeWatch.org.
- Tap the menu icon (3 dots in upper right-hand corner) and tap Add to home screen.
- Choose a name for the website shortcut (BBW), then Chrome will add it to your home screen.
Note: If you ever decide you want to remove the website shortcut, you can delete it just like you would any other app on your phone.
