Add NutriMirror to your iPhone home screen
People often ask if NutriMirror has an app that can be used on mobile devices. While we have not yet built a dedicated app, the recent redesign of our food journal makes the entire site simple and easy to use in the web browser of your smart phone—even with the small screen—as long as you have an active Internet connection.
Here’s a simple way to add a NutriMirror button to your iPhone’s home screen to make the site even more app-like.
First, open the Safari browser on your iPhone:
Click the Safari icon to open the browser.
When Safari is open, log in to NutriMirror and select the page you would like to start with whenever you return to the site:
Your food journal page is probably the best choice.
Once you’ve selected the page you want to bookmark, click the icon at the bottom center of the screen that looks like an arrow coming out of a box:
Click here.
From the options that appear, select “Add to Home Screen.”
Add to home screen.
On the next screen, you’ll see what your new button will look like and you’ll have the option of editing its title:
Give your new button a name and click the Add button (upper right).
And bingo. You now have a fancy new button on your iPhone. Click it any time you want to return to NutriMirror to start logging your foods on the go.
Oooh, shiny.
I have Nutrimirror on the home page of my Android phone, too. The process is very similar. Just bookmark Nutrimirror within the browser, then go back to your home page. Press a blank space until a menu pops up, and choose to add a shortcut. Then, select bookmarks and select the Nutrimirror page you just bookmarked.
Thanks! I was hoping someone would add some Android instructions, since I wasn’t sure how to do that …
