Install Solitaire as a web app
A progressive web app is a website that a compatible browser can add to the home screen or application launcher. Velvet Solitaire uses this option for a standalone window and for reopening previously cached game resources.
The short version
Installation and offline caching are separate. Visit and load the game online first; pages or language resources that were never cached may still be unavailable without a connection, and updates also need network access.
Key points
- On supporting desktop and Android browsers, look for the install option in the address bar or menu.
- On iPhone or iPad, use the browser share menu and choose Add to Home Screen.
- Keep the same browser storage if you want local deals and preferences to remain available.
