# Installing the app

Adding the app to your phone's Home Screen for easy access and better experience.

There are a couple of ways to get the app:

Browse to [parishpals.glideapp.io](https://parishpals.glideapp.io) from your desktop PC or tablet and you can scan the [QR code](/getting-started/installing-the-app.md#scanning-qr-codes) in the top right of this page with your phone's camera app, or use the `Share App`  button to share the app's link.&#x20;

## Scanning QR codes <a href="#scanning-qr-codes" id="scanning-qr-codes"></a>

Most iOS and Android devices can scan QR codes natively with the camera app. Alternatively you can use a third party app to scan them.

1. Open the camera app and point to the QR code. A notification will be automatically displayed
2. Tap the notification and the app will open on your browser
3. Optionally, you can add the app to your Home Screen for better experience
