The mods say there is no app, on android I've never found a cyclechat app in the playstore. And I've not found a way to put a shortcut on my homepage on either my tablet or phone.

There is an App, as others have said and of which I use for this forum.

So why isn't it in the android playstore where we get the apps from?

Go to the Home or Welcome page of the website. In the top right corner are thee vertical dots. Press these. A menu opens. Chose "Add to home screen" and the shortcut will be placed on your home page.
Because its not in the Playstore. You get it direct from the forum site.

I've been looking into this a bit more, on my Android theres three dots on the top right corner that brings up a drop down menu, theres an option there to instal an app, tapping on that puts a shortcut to Cyclechat on the home screen, it doesn't instal an app, with cyclechat on the home screen if I look at the list of installed apps theres no cyclechat app in there.
If you click on the shortcut it put on, then on the info symbol, it gives you the screen I have posted above, if you use the shortcut I don't think it opens a browser window.

I don't have cyclechat on my app list all it does is add a shortcut to the home screen even though it says instal app, I'm on Android 11.
I am on Android 12 don't know if that makes a difference.

Probably not, what might make a difference is the browser, I'm on Brave which is based on Chrome, I have a Lenovo tablet and a Nokia phone. I also have a Linux desktop, running Xubuntu 22/04 also with the Brave browser,

Just tried it from my Android (12) Samsung Galaxy phone, and it installs an app that is visible from my apps list. That is having accessed cyclechat from Chrome to install it.

Well...
1) Samsung Galaxy S7 = my main phone, app still present from transfer from...
2) Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, previous main phone that died. Repaired, now running Android 11+ as a Google Pixel 5. Tried everything suggested here, no joy at all. This was what prompted the thread.
3) Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo running LineageOS 15, Android 8.1. Went to Cyclechat using Chrome, logged in. Dropped the three dot menu at top right, lo and behold, Add to Home Screen. Tap. "Installing App". And sure enough, there it is.
I'm assuming the version of Chrome on the Samsung Pixel...wait one...I've just realised that on this device, Chrome actually says, "Install App" instead of Add to Home Screen! So I have !
So mystery solved so far as I am concerned, all Galaxies have the App!
