How to Get the Swaphouse (Web) App on Your Phone
At Swaphouse, we frequently hear the question: "Where can I download the Swaphouse app?" While we love this enthusiasm, you won't currently find Swaphouse in the App Store or Google Play. Don't worry—we've got good reasons and even better news!
Why No Native App?
We're a passionate but small team, working hard to provide you with the best possible experience for home swapping and remote working. Creating and maintaining dedicated apps for iOS and Android takes significant resources—time and effort we'd rather spend developing amazing new features for the Swaphouse platform.
Fortunately, our website is built to be responsive, working smoothly and intuitively on any device, from desktops to tablets and smartphones. By focusing on a responsive web design, we can quickly roll out new improvements and ensure you always get the best experience.
But I Want Swaphouse on My Phone's Home Screen!
We get it! Having Swaphouse just a tap away on your home screen makes everything easier. Thankfully, there's a simple solution: you can easily add the Swaphouse website to your home screen as a web app!
