Did you know you can add South Florida on the Cheap to your phone and use it as you would an app?

Our fancy new under-the-hood framework means you can add South Florida on the Cheap to your phone and view it as an app. You don’t buy it in the app store, because it is what is known as a PWA (Progressive Web App). That's a fancy way of saying it's a website that transforms itself into a format that is easy to use on your phone. In fact, it works like an app on your phone, and the site has been designed to work especially well on mobile.

Here is how to add the South Florida on the Cheap Progressive Web App to your phone or other device:

  • Android devices: Launch the Chrome app. Open SouthFloridaOnTheCheap.com. (The URL says MiamiOntheCheap.com.) Click on the three dots at the top right. Tap Add to Home Screen. Click on Install App.
  • iPhone or iPad: Launch Safari. Open SouthFloridaOnTheCheap.com. Tap the bookmark icon at the bottom of the screen (it looks like a box with an upward-pointing arrow). Tap Add to Home Screen. Accept the suggested name for the shortcut, or pick your own name. At the top of the screen, tap Add to save the shortcut to the home screen.
