Hi Mark,
It's possible the app may not install with older versions of Android (we've tested it with Android 10), as they have less support for Progressive Web Apps (PWA), which is the type of app we have. However, try the folllowing to see if this helps:
- ensure you are connected to WiFi when installing as a slow connection has been known to cause installation problems
- ensure your Google Play account is enabled when installing
- ensure you have the latest version of Chrome installed
If it installs correctly you should see the plotaroute icon on your home screen (without a Chrome icon in the corner) and the app will run full-screen (without a browser address bar). You'll also be able to see the app listed under Apps and Notifications under your Android Settings. We've noticed that there is sometimes a short delay in the the icon appearing on the home screen on Android devices, so you may need to wait a short while at the point where it saying it is adding the app. We'll look at adding some more pictures to to the installation instructions as you suggested.

My Samsung S7/Android 8 was indeed on a solid Wi-Fi, with account activated and latest Chrome (although on mobiles updates are bpushed, rather than pulled).
However, I will shortly be changing to a OnePlus 8T/Oxygen 11, so I'll see what happens then and report back. :)

Do you have any suggestions for installing on Android 11 (R)? I'm trying to install the app on new Samsung A7 lite.
When I follow the proccedue, it looks like a bookmark gets installed on thehome page, but nothing else.

What happens when you click on the icon on your home page Jim? If it opens full-screen without the website address bar it has installed correctly.

It opens the website within Chrome, with the website address. The icon on the home page also has the Chrome circle in the bottom right corner.

OK, yes, it hasn't installed then. If it installs you won't see the Chrome icon in the corner of the plotaroute icon. The main reason this happens is if you weren't signed out and on the main home page when installing. Can you try again?

I logged out, cleared the browser data, the refreshed the main page. I removed the link on the main page. I did the menu item - add to home page, but it resulted in the same thing happen in. What else should try?

That should have been that I removed the link on the home page.
