What You Can and Cannot Do on a Smartphone (Mobile App in Development)
The dedicated mobile app is in development. This guide lists what works in the smartphone browser and what is better done on a PC.
Using WorkVell from a smartphone
The dedicated WorkVell mobile app (iOS / Android) is still in development and is not
distributed on the App Store or Google Play.
WorkVell does, however, work in the smartphone browser. Open your company's WorkVell URL
(e.g., app.workvell.com) in your phone browser and sign in to use the main features while
commuting, out of the office, or on site. Use your browser menu to "Add to Home Screen" so
you can open WorkVell with a single tap.
