Topic: App to home screen of device

I am considering a purchase of the pro version.  I would like to use it as an "app" for my photo clients.  However, I am hoping that someone can explain to me how it works when sending a link.  If someone opens it on there a device, is there some sort of trigger to ask them to add it to their home screen?  I can do this my selecting my options in my browser but I would like a trigger because many users will not understand how to do this.

Is this already a feature that I can activate?  Could someone share a link with me of one of their galleries so I can see what a client might experience?

Thanks

Re: App to home screen of device

A Juicebox gallery is essentially just an HTML 5 element (which would be embedded in a web page) and a link to a gallery would just be the URL to the web page containing the gallery.
Here is a link to a sample Juicebox-Lite gallery (on a web page of its own with no other content): http://www.juicebox.net/demos/lite/full/
Here is a link to a sample Juicebox-Lite gallery embedded in a web page alongside other content: http://www.juicebox.net/demos/lite/embedded/
Links to all demo galleries can all be found on this page: http://www.juicebox.net/demos/

To add a web page (whether it contains a Juicebox gallery or not) to an iOS device's Home Screen (whether the web page contains a Juicebox gallery or not), you would need to open the web page in Mobile Safari, tap the menu icon and select 'Add to Home Screen'.
