Open WindRings in Chrome, then tap the top-bar Install button when it appears. If Chrome shows its own browser menu instead, use Install app or Add to Home screen. On Samsung Internet, use the browser install icon or the menu path Add page to and install it to your apps or home screen. If you want the native Android overlay app, tap Android App below for the APK page.
Open the site in Safari, tap Share, then choose Add to Home Screen and tap Add. WindRings will then open from the home screen in its own app-style window for faster access.
Android Chrome: Tap Float to open the mini window, then switch to your GPS, scorecard, or any other app. The window stays visible on top, and you can drag it where you want.
Samsung Browser: Tap Float to view the Samsung setup. Install WindRings first, then use Android Open in pop-up view from Recent apps for a true floating window on Galaxy devices.
iPhone: iOS does not allow a true floating web window over other apps, so use the app switcher for quick back-and-forth access.
iPad: Tap Float to view Slide Over and Split View instructions so WindRings can stay on-screen beside or above another app.
iPhone and iPad handle multitasking differently. Use the setup below to keep WindRings easy to reach while another app is open.
Safari and installed web apps on iPhone cannot stay as a true floating window over another app. The closest option is keeping WindRings installed on the home screen and switching back to it with the app switcher.
WindRings works in Samsung Internet, but floating over other apps uses Samsung's One UI multitasking instead of Chrome's document PiP API.
Samsung Internet installs PWAs, but the Chrome-specific Document Picture-in-Picture API used for this app's mini floating calculator is not available there. On Galaxy devices, the reliable floating-window path is Pop-up view or Split screen.
