Add To Home Screen WP Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
This plugin uses Add to Home Screen’s Cubiq script to place a floating balloon inviting the user to add a website to their home screen as a standard iOS application.
It’s a good way to retain visitors coming to your blog, especially if you don’t want to develop an expensive native application just to let them read your WordPress blog articles.
The floating balloon is compatible with all recent iPhones and iPads.
2025 UPDATE: The Add to Home Screen WP Plugin is back online, fully compliant with WordPress requirements, and now offers premium features!
