Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Team Selector as a web app
Why isn’t Team Selector in the App Store or Google Play Store?
By providing Team Selector as a Progressive Web App (PWA), your sports club avoids hefty 30% app store developer taxes and complex enterprise licensing. It also means you never need to enter an Apple ID or Google password, and whenever the fixture schedule, pitch allocations, or scores change, you always have the latest version instantly.
Why can’t I see “Add to Home Screen” on my iPhone?
If you clicked a match link from WhatsApp, Facebook, or an email, it likely opened inside that app’s internal browser rather than Safari. Tap the compass icon in the bottom corner of your screen to Open in Safari. In Safari, tap the Share button (square with arrow up) and “Add to Home Screen” will be visible.
How do I turn on push notifications on my iPhone?
Apple requires Progressive Web Apps to be launched from the Home Screen icon before notifications can be activated. Once you have added the app to your Home Screen, tap the icon to open it, log in, navigate to the Notifications tab in the menu, and tap “Turn on Notifications”.
Will the app take up a lot of storage space?
No. Traditional store apps often take up 150MB to 300MB of storage. Progressive Web Apps use less than 2MB of memory while still providing instantaneous loading, offline sheet access, and full touchline functionality.
