YOUR COMMUNITY, A LITTLE CLOSER

A place on your
home screen.

Open RA Commons with a tap, in its own window. The same conversations, membership and privacy controls you already know.

Installation is optional. You can always keep using RA Commons in your browser.

iPhone & iPad

  1. Open RA Commons in Safari.
  2. Open the Share menu, then choose Add to Home Screen. You may need to scroll or edit the available actions.
  3. Keep Open as Web App enabled if shown, then tap Add.

Android & desktop

Use the installation button above when available, or open your browser menu and choose Install app, Install page as app, or Add to Home screen. The wording depends on your browser.

Stay connected

You need an internet connection to read or participate. If you lose connection, a simple offline screen helps you try again. Conversations, messages and profiles are not saved for offline access.

Updates arrive through the web. Close all RA Commons windows and reopen to activate a waiting offline-screen update.
