  1. Using the app

Install the app

Reviewed 3 August 2026

Add Tradie Forms to your phone home screen for quicker access on site

Add Tradie Forms to your home screen so it opens full screen from an icon, like a normal app. You do not need the App Store or Google Play.

This works on iPhone, Android, and most computers. You can also open the short steps from Settings when you are signed in.

Why install it

  • One-tap open from your home screen
  • Opens into the app hub, not a browser tab full of chrome
  • Feels more like an app when you are on site
  • No separate store download

What it does not change

  • It is still the same Tradie Forms website under the icon
  • You need a connection for cloud drafts, downloads, lookups, and most features
  • Guest and Free drafts stay in that browser on that device for up to 7 days
  • Clearing site data or uninstalling the home screen icon can remove local drafts
  • Paid cloud drafts still need a Solo or Team plan and a connection

Install steps

Use Safari. Chrome and many in-app browsers do not offer Add to Home Screen the same way.

Open the site in Safari. Go to tradieforms.com.au or open the app if you already use it.

Open Share. Tap the Share button (square with an arrow) in Safari.

Add to Home Screen. Scroll the share sheet and tap Add to Home Screen. Confirm the name, then tap Add.

Open from the icon. On your home screen, tap Tradie Forms. Sign in if you need cloud features or downloads.

After you install

  1. Open from the home screen icon (not a Safari tab) so it runs full screen
  2. Sign in when you need downloads, cloud drafts, or paid features
  3. Set your state and trade if the app asks on first use
  4. Start a form from Templates or New form

On Android, long-press the home screen icon for shortcuts to New form, Drafts, and Jobs.

See Quick start for the full fill and download walkthrough.

You can also open install help from Settings under App on this phone. When you are already in the installed app, that card confirms you are set up.

Common problems

  • No Add to Home Screen on iPhone: Use Safari, not Chrome or Facebook/Instagram’s built-in browser. Open the site in Safari, then try again.
  • No Install on Android: Use Chrome, leave any in-app browser, and check you are not already installed.
  • Blank screen when opening the home screen icon: Delete the icon, open the site in Safari again, then Add to Home Screen once more. iPhone caches the launch screen when you first add the icon.
  • Draft missing after install: Guest and Free drafts are tied to that browser profile. The home screen icon uses the same site data in normal cases. If you cleared site data or used private browsing, local drafts may be gone. Paid cloud drafts appear under Drafts when you are signed in and online.
  • Looks like a normal tab: You opened the website in the browser instead of the home screen icon. Tap the icon you added.
