Add the site to your home screen like an app, and keep the farm tools and help numbers for places with no signal.
1. Add it to your home screen
It opens full screen from its own icon, like an app. It’s the same website, so it’s always up to date and there’s nothing to download from an app store.
You’re using REALM NZ as an app on this device.

- Tap the ⋮ menu at the top right.

2. Keep the tools for no signal
Out of coverage in the woolshed or up the back? Save these pages on this device now, while you have signal. Any page below you’ve opened before is kept too.

Good to know
- Nothing personal is saved. Only the public tool pages are kept on your device. What you type into a tool stays on your phone and isn’t sent to us (the stock units “Save my farm” button keeps your tally in this browser only).
- Always the latest when you have signal. With a connection you always get the live page; the saved copy is only used when there’s no connection, and it’s refreshed each time you open the page online.
- Calling still needs mobile coverage. A saved page can show you the number; your phone still needs coverage to call it. In an emergency call 111.
- Easy to remove. Press and hold the icon and choose Remove (phones), or uninstall it from the browser’s apps page (computers). “Remove saved pages” above clears the saved copies.
The app is this website, so it follows our privacy policy. No app store, no tracking, no notifications. Something not working on your phone? Tell us which phone and browser.
