Overview
The RideOps app is a Progressive Web App (PWA) served from rideops.mobaro.com. Installing it to a device's home screen gives Operators a full-screen, app-like experience — with offline support — without a dedicated app-store download.
Why this matters: Adding RideOps to the home screen turns a browser tab into a dedicated kiosk-style app. Operators tap one icon to start their shift, the interface runs full-screen without browser chrome in the way, and brief connectivity drops don't stop the ride — the app keeps working offline and syncs when the connection returns.
Installing on a tablet
1. Open the RideOps URL
Launch a browser (Chrome or Safari) on the tablet, go to rideops.mobaro.com, and log in with your credentials.
2. Add to home screen
In Chrome, tap the ⋮ menu (top right) and select Add to Home Screen. In Safari, tap the Share icon and choose Add to Home Screen.
3. Name and confirm
Keep the default "RideOps" name or rename it, then tap Add to place the shortcut on the home screen.
Note: Once installed, the PWA runs full-screen and supports offline use, behaving like a native app.
Installing on Android
Android supports PWAs natively through Chrome.
1. Open Chrome
Launch Chrome and go to rideops.mobaro.com.
2. Install the app
Tap the ⋮ menu (top right) and select Install App or Add to Home Screen, then follow the on-screen prompts.
Best practice: After installing on Android, the RideOps PWA appears in the app drawer and task switcher just like a native app — pin it to the device's dock for one-tap access at the start of a shift.
Installing on iOS
iOS supports PWAs through Safari.
1. Open Safari
Launch Safari and go to rideops.mobaro.com.
2. Add to home screen
Tap the Share icon at the bottom of the screen, scroll down, and select Add to Home Screen.
3. Name and confirm
Keep the default "RideOps" name or rename it, then tap Add.
