Get Polar Lights on your phone or computer
Use the Android app, add the website to an iPhone's Home Screen, or open polarlights.io in any browser.
Polar Lights works the same everywhere: in the Android app, on an iPhone or iPad, and in a web browser on a computer. Your account, saved places and alert settings follow you to every device you sign in on.
Android
Install Polar Lights from Google Play. The app adds push alerts on your phone and Google Play billing for Chaser.
iPhone and iPad
There's no App Store app. Add the website to your Home Screen instead, and it opens full screen like an app:
- Open polarlights.io in Safari.
- Tap Share in Safari's toolbar.
- Choose Add to Home Screen, then Add.
- Open Polar Lights from your Home Screen.
Push alerts on an iPhone only work when Polar Lights is opened from the Home Screen, not from a Safari tab.
Computer
Open polarlights.io in any up-to-date browser. On a computer the pages are in the bar at the top: Now, Map, Gallery, Sun and Dashboard. On a phone they're in the tab bar at the bottom, with You in place of Dashboard.
