Collective.mobile.addtohomescreen is supported by iPhone/iPod touch, iPhone4 and iPad. On older devices Add icon is a “+” while on iOS 4.2 it has been replaced with Add icon. The web application detects the device OS version and displays the appropriate icon.

The message enters the screen, when the user visits your website the second time after 2 seconds (customizable) from page load, and exits after 15 seconds (also customizable). The script checks the user’s locale and displays the default message in an appropriate language. The pop-up message can be closed any time by tapping the small “x” icon.
