Add Airlocum to iPhone
Adding Airlocum to your iPhone home screen lets you open the platform instantly, just like a native app. This is especially useful for locums who want fast access to manage their shifts.
⚡ At a glance ✔ Four taps in Safari — takes under 30 seconds ✔ Works like a native app — one-tap access, no App Store download needed ✔ ⚠️ Must use Safari — this does not work in Chrome or other iOS browsers ✔ Ideal for urgent cover: reach your Airlocum dashboard instantly when you need a shift filled fast |
Adding Airlocum to your iPhone home screen gives you instant one-tap access to book and manage dental locums — without opening a browser or typing a web address. This is particularly useful for urgent and same-day cover, where every minute counts.
Airlocum is a Progressive Web App (PWA), meaning it behaves like a native app once added to your home screen — full-screen layout, fast loading — with no App Store download required.
⚠️ Important: you must use Safari The 'Add to Home Screen' feature on iPhone only works in Safari. If you currently have Airlocum open in Chrome or another browser, copy the URL (airlocum.co.uk), close that browser, open Safari, and paste it in. |
Four Steps to Add Airlocum to Your iPhone Home Screen
Step 1 Open airlocum.co.uk in Safari Open Safari — not Chrome or any other browser. Type airlocum.co.uk in the address bar and log in to your practice account if prompted. |
Step 2 Tap the Share icon Tap the Share icon — the square with an arrow pointing upward — at the bottom of the Safari screen. The iOS Share sheet will slide up from the bottom of the screen. |
Step 3 Tap 'Add to Home Screen' Scroll down the Share sheet and tap 'Add to Home Screen'. A prompt will appear with the name 'Airlocum' pre-filled. Leave it as is and tap Add in the top-right corner. |
Step 4 You're done — Airlocum is on your home screen The Airlocum icon will appear on your iPhone home screen immediately. Tap it once for instant, full-screen access to your dashboard — no browser, no address bar, no searching. Move it to your main home screen page so it's always one tap away. |
💡 Tip: keep it on your first home screen page For practice managers handling urgent cover, having Airlocum on your main screen means you can open it, send a Quick Book request, and have a locum confirmed — all within minutes of an early-morning no-show call. |
