How to Use Gougou as a Native App on Your Phone

As the Gougou app is still in an early stage of development, we decided to release it as a webapp that can run only inside a browser. That being said, currently you won’t be able to find our app on Appstore or Google Play platforms. Don’t worry, though! Below you will find everything you need to make Gougou work like a native iOS or Android app.

If you are an iPhone user, first you'll have to open Safari and subsequently head to our app URL. At the bottom you should be able to see a menu bar, please tap the share icon in the middle, and then click on Add to Home Screen item.
