Mobile, mobile, mobile…Digimonkey loves being mobile. Whether she’s waiting to pick up her little monkeys at ballet or soccer practice, taking a break at the tree house water cooler during her work day, or vacationing with Paco somewhere warm and green, Digi loves having her mobile device with her so that she can stay in touch with the world or, better yet, buy and read her beloved ebooks!
That’s why Digi was so excited to learn that she can now add a snazzy ARe icon to the home screen of her mobile device that will sit alongside all of Digi’s other Apps and provide her with quick and easy assess to all the great ARe mobile functions Digi has become addicted to. How cool is that! Digi has an iPhone, but this will also work for Android devices.
Adding an icon to an iPhone
To begin, you’ll need to open Safari on your phone and pull up the allromanceebooks.com website. Then go to the bottom of the screen and press on the center icon with the box and arrow.
All Romance on the iPhone
A screen will pop up with several options. Select the “Add to Home Screen” option.
Add Me! Add Me! Add Me!
The next window that appears allows you to add a title to your icon. Type the title you want into the text box and click “Return”. Digi chose to title hers “All Romance”, but you can use whatever title you want.
Oh, what's in a name?
Your iPhone will save the information you entered and presto! An icon that leads directly to the ARe website is now showing on your home screen, ready to be clicked whenever you have the urge to purchase and download ebooks.
Snazzy, shiny icon!
Adding an icon to an Android
To begin, you’ll need to open the browser on your phone and pull up the allromanceebooks.com website. Press the Menu key and select Bookmarks.
Bookmark Me!
Press the Menu key and select the “Add Bookmark” option. Type in the Name you want for your bookmark (Digi chose ARE) and tap OK.
My name is...
Then Tap and hold a blank spot on your home screen, which will open a pop-up menu. Select the “Add An Icon” option. Another screen will appear which will allow you to select the ARe bookmark you created previously. Press the All Romance mini window to select it.
Pick Me! Pick Me! Pick Me!
Your Android will save the information you entered and presto! An icon that leads directly to the ARe website is now showing on your home screen, ready to be clicked whenever you have the urge to purchase and download ebooks.
A star is born!
