Put Touchcric on your Android home screen

Touchcric already works in the browser on your phone, so the quickest "install" is to pin it to the home screen. The icon opens the match list full screen, with no file to download and nothing to switch on in Settings. Three taps, half a minute.

Would rather have the APK file? That guide is here.

1Open Touchcric in Chrome and tap the three dots

Type touchcric.is into Chrome. Once the match tiles are showing, tap the three dots in the top right corner.

2Tap “Add to Home screen” or “Install app”

One of those two lines is in the menu; which one depends on the phone, and both do the same thing. Tap it.

Chrome may also offer this by itself, as a strip along the bottom of the page. Tapping the strip is just as good.

3Tap Install

A box with the Touchcric icon appears. Tap Install (on some phones it says Add).

Using Samsung Internet?

Tap the three lines in the bottom right corner, then Add page to, then Home screen, then Add.

A small "install" icon in the address bar, when there is one, is a shortcut to the same thing.

✓Done

The Touchcric icon is on your home screen. It opens the match tiles full screen; tap a match, same as on the site.

If something is different on your phone

There is no "Add to Home screen" or "Install app" in the menu

That is what happens when the page opened inside another app, such as the browser built into Facebook or WhatsApp. Those browsers cannot pin pages.

Copy touchcric.is, open Chrome or Samsung Internet yourself, and paste the address there.

The icon opens with the browser bar still at the top

Chrome made a plain shortcut rather than installing. Remove the icon, do the three steps again, and tap Install in the box, not Create shortcut.

You want a proper app file

Then install the Touchcric APK. It takes a couple of minutes and one extra permission.
