While Fodmapedia is not available on the App Store or the Google Play Store, you can still get Fodmapedia as a mobile application by installing it as a shortcut on your Android or iPhone.
The app is a handy tool to use when you’re quickly looking for info on a food ☺️
The shortcut will appear as an icon on your home screen, indistinguishable from all the other applications on your phone.
Let’s start with iPhones & iPads (Android users, click here, or keep scrolling).
On iPhone & iPad
Here is a video, or scroll down for written instructions:
1. Open Safari
Safari is your internet browser:
2. Enter fodmapedia.com/index-en in the address bar
You should land here:
Be sure to include “/index-en” at the end (fodmapedia.com/index-en). If not, you will land on the French version.
3. Tap on the ‘Share’ icon
See the icon circled above. You should arrive here:
4. Scroll down and click on the “Add to Home Screen” button
Here:
5. Then click on “Add”
Done! You now have Fodmapedia as an application directly on your phone 😃
6. Move the application to the front page
If you’re like me, and you eat every day, you’ll probably want Fodmapedia on your home page. Here’s how to move it there:
- Touch and hold the Fodmapedia icon,
- Then tap on “Edit Home Screen”
- You can then drag the icon to the first page.
You’re all set!
Fodmapedia on Android
Here is a video, or scroll down for written instructions:
1. Go to the Fodmapedia website on your mobile browser (Chrome)
Open Chrome and go here: https://fodmapedia.com/index-en
Once on the homepage:
2. Click on the 3 small dots in the top right corner
3. Click on “Add to Home screen”
If you’re a Firefox user instead of Chrome, it’s called “Install” (instead of “Add to Home screen”):
4. Click on “Add”
That’s it!
5. Move the application to your home screen
I don’t know about you, but — personally — I eat every day. .
Having Fodmapedia on my home screen is really handy.
- Tap and hold the Fodmapedia icon,
- You can then move the icon to your phone’s home screen
You’re all set!
If you’re using Dolphin as a browser
- Go to the Fodmapedia website,
- Click on the Dolphin icon at the bottom of the screen, then click on the star icon in the top left of the menu,
- Choose “Speed Dial” to add the site to your phone’s home screen as an icon. Done!
I prefer to use Firefox on my Android phone, but the usual “Add to Home Screen” item on the drop-down menu isn’t there when I am on Fodmapedia. I wasted a lot of time trying to work out what was wrong before I stumbled across the reason. Instead of “Add to Home Screen”, there is an “Install” item, which neither of us had noticed. Using that, it is straightforward to add the Fodmapedia app, which so far seems to be working very well.
Thank you Jenny for this feedback, I’m sorry you had to spend time on that 😔
Thanks to your comment, I just added guidance for Firefox, it indeed works there as well.
Have a great day!
