Dashboard Solutions runs in your browser, so there is nothing to download from an app store. In about twenty seconds you can add it to your phone's home screen, your iPad, your Dock or your Start menu — where it opens in its own window, full screen, straight at your numbers.
Contents
Jump to your device
Every step below works on its own — pick the device in your hand.
Open app.dashboardsolutions.com.au on the device you want the app on. Use the browser named in your section below — on Apple devices that means Safari.
2
On the log in screen, look for the Install Dashboard Solutions card and choose Install. On iPhone and iPad the card sends you to this page instead, because Safari has no one-tap install button.
3
Already logged in? Use Install app at the bottom of the sidebar.
4
No card and no button? Your browser has not offered an install yet. Use the manual steps for your device below — they always work.
Apple devices: iPhone, iPad and Safari on the Mac never show a one-tap install button. Use Share → Add to Home Screen (or Add to Dock on a Mac) instead.
You will still need your login. Installing does not sign you in, and it does not change who can see what — owner pages stay owner-only on every device.
The install card on the log in screen (right) and the browser's own install icon in the address bar (top right). Illustration.
A tablet on the office desk or in the ute is the closest thing to a wall board — the dashboard fills the screen and refreshes itself.
iPad — Safari
Add to Home Screen is most reliable in Safari
iPad
1
Open app.dashboardsolutions.com.au in Safari.
2
Tap the Share button — the square with an arrow pointing up.
3
Scroll down the list and tap Add to Home Screen.
4
Confirm the name and tap Add.
5
Open it from the home screen like any other app.
In landscape or Stage Manager the Share button sits in the toolbar. If Add to Home Screen is missing, tap Edit Actions… at the bottom of the share sheet and switch it on.
Android tablet — Chrome
Samsung Internet works too
Android
1
Open app.dashboardsolutions.com.au in Chrome.
2
If the Install card appears on the log in screen, tap it.
3
Otherwise tap ⋮ → Add to Home screen (some versions say Install app).
4
Confirm, then open it from the home screen or app drawer.
The one most owners actually use: the numbers in your pocket between jobs, without hunting for a bookmark.
iPhone, Safari: tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. Illustration — figures are sample data.
iPhone — Safari
Use Safari, not Chrome
iPhone
1
Open app.dashboardsolutions.com.au in Safari.
2
Tap Share — the square with the arrow, at the bottom of the screen.
3
Scroll and tap Add to Home Screen.
4
Tap Add in the top right.
5
Open Dashboard Solutions from your home screen.
Adding it from Chrome or Firefox on an iPhone usually creates a plain shortcut that still opens inside that browser. Use Safari for the full-screen app.
Android phone — Chrome
Also Samsung Internet, Brave, Edge
Android
1

Confirm, then open it from the home screen or app drawer.
Installed on a phone home screen and running in its own desktop window. Illustration — sample data.
📱
Its own icon. Dashboard Solutions sits on the home screen, Dock or Start menu next to your other apps.
▢
Full screen. It opens without the address bar and browser tabs, so more of the screen is your numbers.
🔑
Log in once. You stay logged in on that device until you sign out. Owner-only pages stay owner-only.
🔄
Always current. Pages load fresh every time and the sync runs through the day — you never see yesterday’s figures.
📶
Needs a connection. Nothing is stored on the device. Out of signal you get a simple offline screen, and it reloads itself the moment you are back.
📱
No app store. There is no App Store or Google Play download — installing is exactly the steps above, and updates arrive automatically with no upgrade to run.
Removing the app removes the icon only. Your account, your data and your connections are untouched — log back in from any browser and everything is where you left it.
iPhone / iPad
Press and hold the icon, then Remove App or Delete Bookmark.
Android
Press and hold the icon, then Uninstall or Remove.
Mac (Safari)
Remove it from the Dock like any app, or delete it from Applications if it is listed there.
Chrome / Edge
Open chrome://apps or edge://apps, find Dashboard Solutions and uninstall.
Windows
Or uninstall it from Settings → Apps like any other program.
Leaving for good?
Disconnect ServiceM8 and Xero in Settings first — that stops all access immediately.
Browsers only offer it in certain conditions, and Safari never does. Use the manual steps for your device above — the result is identical. If you are on Firefox, switch to Chrome, Edge or Safari.
iPhone or iPad: there is no “Add to Home Screen”
You are probably not in Safari — check the browser. If you are, tap Edit Actions… (or More) at the bottom of the share sheet and switch Add to Home Screen on.
Mac: there is no “Add to Dock”
Add to Dock arrived in Safari 17 (macOS Sonoma). On older versions use Share → Add to Dock / Add to Home Screen, or install through Chrome or Edge instead.
It opens as a normal browser tab
That is a bookmark or shortcut, not the installed app — most often from adding it via Chrome on an iPhone. Delete the icon and add it again from Safari.
The icon is missing or looks wrong
Remove the icon and add it again; devices cache the old artwork. On Android, clear the app icon from the home screen and reinstall from Chrome.
It says “You’re offline”
The app needs a connection because nothing is stored on your device. It reloads itself once signal returns; if the message stays put with a good connection, log out and back in, and email us if it persists.
