As of now, you can install a PWA version on desktop and mobile. Included some instructions below on how to do this for each platform. Make sure you are browsing the main site while performing these steps, as the forums have a separate PWA app.
Functionally, the PWA isn't much different from a potential native app and we can do things like push notifications through it (currently not setup at the moment). However, we're still also working on a version that will be published to Apple and Google Play app stores. This is what the PWA looks like on my desktop and it gets its own icon in the dock as well:
Mobile - iPhone/iPad
In Safari, click the Share icon and select "Add to Home Screen" in the menu that pops up. Then select Add. This will add an icon for the app to your home screen that you can just tap on rather than going through Safari.
Desktop - Chrome
In Chrome on a desktop, click the "Install" icon next to the star in the website address bar. It will show a popup as depicted below. Click "Install" to add the app to your desktop. From here, you can use the OS controls to pin the app to taskbar if you desire.
Mobile - Android/Chrome
In Chrome, click the three dots at the top right, then select "Add to Home Screen". Click Add in the following prompts and then you should see the Exophase app added to your home screen.

I absolutely love your site guys, would happily pay for the app - any news on it coming to Android and iOS soon?
Have you tried the PWA option I detailed a few posts up? https://forums.exophase.com/threads/ios-android-app.26612/post-282698
I feel like not many are aware of it, will try to make it more visible.

I’ll give it a go, thanks!
One other thing: why can’t we follow other profiles? Would love to keep tabs on what my friends are playing.
I finally gave the PWA a try, and honestly this makes a lot more sense than waiting for a separate native app. It installs like an app, gets its own icon, and works across iOS, Android and desktop without maintaining several different versions.As of now, you can install a PWA version on desktop and mobile.

Having useful apps available directly from the home screen is especially convenient on mobile devices. A universal remote control app can work in a similar way, giving you quick access to TV controls without having to search for a separate physical remote.
For an achievement-tracking site like Exophase, I don't think much more is really needed beyond that. Push notifications would be a nice addition, though, especially for newly earned achievements or profile activity. The current site is still actively maintained, so it's good to see the app side getting attention too.
