Add to Home Screen & Progressive Web App

72 Quality Score

Active Installs

14/30

Popularity exceeds expectations at 1,000 active installs versus a modest baseline of 800, suggesting a niche but loyal user base relative to its size.

Update Freshness

25/25

Maintenance scores perfectly thanks to an update within the last 60 days (Last Updated 2026-05-28), signalling an actively maintained codebase.

User Rating

11/15

User ratings sit at 74/100 across only 25 reviews, which is decent but the small sample size limits confidence in long-term satisfaction.

Support Health

8/15

Support health is concerning with zero support threads opened and zero resolved, which makes it impossible to gauge how the author responds when things break.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Compatibility is strong, supporting WordPress 6.7+, PHP 7.4+, and tested with WordPress 7.0, plus it explicitly supports multisite installs.

What It Does

Adds a configurable 'Add to Home Screen' prompt for iOS and Android visitors and provides the underlying Progressive Web App scaffolding (manifest, service worker basics) so your WordPress site can be installed as a web app on a user's device. It is a lightweight entry-level PWA toolkit rather than a full feature-rich PWA framework. Most PWA behaviour comes from a single plugin settings page where you set the app name, icons, theme colour, and display mode.

Who It's For

Best for small to mid-sized site owners who want basic 'install to home screen' functionality and PWA basics without paying for a native app or installing a heavier solution like SuperPWA. It is well suited to use cases such as a local restaurant ordering page, a fitness studio booking page, or a small business mobile experience where the install prompt matters more than offline-first caching sophistication.

Who Should Skip It

Skip this plugin if you need advanced PWA features like push notifications, background sync, detailed offline caching strategies, or analytics on install events; you will be better served by Super Progressive Web Apps (40,000 installs, 81.91/100). Large publishers or membership sites should also look at more established options with stronger support track records.

The Bottom Line

For a niche plugin with only 1,000 active installs it is unusually well maintained and scores 72.03/100 overall, though the absence of any support history and a thin 25-rating pool are real caveats. It is a reasonable, lightweight choice for small sites that mainly want an installable home-screen icon and a styled splash screen, but heavier or production-critical PWA workloads should default to Super Progressive Web Apps. Treat it as a starter PWA layer, not a full replacement for a native app experience.

Related Plugins

Super Progressive Web Apps 82/100

Pick SuperPWA if you need a more complete PWA toolkit with push notifications, offline pages, and a larger 40,000-install user community behind it.

AMP for WP - Accelerated Mobile Pages 83/100

Pick AMP for WP if your priority is Google-friendly mobile page speed and AMP cache compatibility rather than installable web app behaviour.

Responsive Menu - Create Mobile-Friendly Menu 83/100

Pick Responsive Menu if your real mobile problem is navigation and menu UX rather than installing your site as a PWA.

User Switching 86/100

Pick User Switching for admin-side account testing workflows; it solves an entirely different problem but is a useful contrast for what 'utility' plugins can deliver at higher install counts.

Code Snippets 88/100

Pick Code Snippets if you would rather implement PWA basics via manual snippets and avoid installing yet another plugin at all.
