Best Hunting Time installs straight from your browser. There is no app store, no download and no waiting on an update. Add it once and you get the same thing a downloaded app gives you: its own icon on the home screen, a full-screen view with no address bar, and your saved hunting locations ready the moment you open it.
iPhone and iPad (Safari)
- Open besthuntingtime.com in Safari (this step must be Safari, not Chrome).
- Tap the Share button — the square with an arrow pointing up, in the toolbar.
- Scroll down the list and tap Add to Home Screen.
- Tap Add. The Best Hunting Time icon appears with your other apps.
Android (Chrome)
- Open besthuntingtime.com in Chrome.
- Tap Install app if Chrome offers it, or open the three-dot menu and tap Add to Home screen.
- Confirm, and the icon drops onto your home screen.
Windows, Mac and tablets
In Chrome or Edge on a computer, look for the install icon at the right edge of the address bar, or open the browser menu and choose Install Best Hunting Time. It then opens in its own window like any other desktop program.
Why a web app beats the app store for this
- Installs in about 5 seconds. No app store, no 100 MB download, no storage fight on a full phone.
- Easier on your battery. Best Hunting Time does not run GPS tracking or background location all day. It only refreshes when you open it, which matters deep in the timber with no charger.
- Always current. Forecast improvements are live the next time you open it — no update prompts or reinstalls.
- One membership, every device. Phone, tablet, truck laptop and desktop share the same login and saved locations.
- Works when service drops. Your saved spots and last forecast stay readable off-grid in the timber.
- No extra gatekeepers. Apple or Google account, store approvals and platform fees do not slow down fixes or features.
Common questions
Is this a real app?
Yes — it is installed on your phone, has its own icon, and opens full screen. The only difference is where it came from: your browser instead of an app store.
Will it cost me anything to install?
Installing is free. A membership is $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year, each starting with a 7-day free trial you can cancel any time. See the pricing page for details.
Do I lose my saved spots if I remove the icon?
No. Your locations, sightings and alert settings live with your account, not the icon. Sign in again anywhere and everything is there.
Does this save battery compared to other hunting apps?
Best Hunting Time is lighter on battery because it does not track your GPS location or run background services while you are in the stand. It refreshes only when you open it or pull to refresh. If you are hunting all day away from a charger, that can mean a meaningful difference compared with apps that log every step.
