One Tap, No App Store

Put It On Your Phone

Add Football Madness to your home screen and it opens like a real app — fullscreen, one tap to your picks. Free, installs straight from this page.

🍎

iPhone / iPad

  1. 1You must use Safari (the blue compass icon) — this won’t work in Chrome or the in-app browser from a text or Instagram link.
  2. 2Go to footballmadnesspool.com in Safari and make sure this page is showing.
  3. 3Tap the Share button — a square with an arrow (↑) pointing up out of it. On iPhone it’s in the bar at the bottom of the screen; on iPad it’s at the top-right. (If you don’t see the bottom bar, tap once near the bottom to make it appear.)
  4. 4A menu slides up. Scroll down the gray list past the app icons until you see “Add to Home Screen” (next to a ➕ box icon). Tap it.
  5. 5You’ll see the Football Madness crest and the name “FM Pool.” Tap “Add” in the top-right corner.
  6. 6Done — the crest icon is now on your home screen. Tap it and it opens fullscreen like a real app (no Safari bars).

Don’t see “Add to Home Screen”? You’re probably not in Safari. Copy the web address, paste it into Safari, and try again.

🤖

Android

  1. 1Open this site in Chrome (the red/yellow/green circle icon). It won’t work from a link tapped inside a text, Instagram, or Facebook — those open a mini-browser that can’t install.
  2. 2Go to footballmadnesspool.com. You may see a pop-up bar at the bottom that says “Add Football Madness to Home screen” — if so, just tap it and you’re done. If not, keep going.
  3. 3Tap the ⋮ menu (three dots) in the top-right corner of Chrome.
  4. 4In the menu, tap “Add to Home screen” (or “Install app”). If you don’t see it right away, look under “Add to…” or scroll the menu.
  5. 5A box pops up showing the crest and “FM Pool.” Tap “Add” (or “Install”), then “Add” again if it asks.
  6. 6Done — the crest icon is on your home screen (and in your app drawer). Tap it and it opens fullscreen like a real app.

Using Samsung Internet instead of Chrome? Tap the ≡ menu at the bottom, then “Add page to” → “Home screen.”

Already logged in? You’ll also find these steps on your dashboard. The app updates itself — nothing to download.
