Desktop



Step 1

Go to our app page and click on the Windows/Mac button depending on which Operating System (OS) you are running.



Step 2

The download will begin immediately, or you will be prompted to Save the file first.



Step 3

Once download has been completed, double-click on the file to start installing. 

Note: You may see a warning prompt since Hi5 is not an application from the Windows or Apple app stores, but downloaded from the internet - click Continue/Open (Hi5 will not damage your computer in any way).



Step 4

Once opened, you should see the Hi5 logo in your taskbar! Right-click and choose Pin to taskbar (Windows) or Keep in dock (Mac) to keep it there 😉



Step 5

Go ahead and sign in!




Mobile


Add to Home screen (or A2HS for short) is a feature available in modern browsers (like Firefox and Google Chrome) that enables you to "install" the Hi5 web app, ie. add a shortcut to your Home screen so you can access Hi5 on your mobile with a single tap. A2HS is supported in all mobile browsers, except iOS webview.

Step 1

Open the browser on your mobile device, go to app.get5.io and log into your Hi5 account.



Step 2

Tap the 3-dot menu in the top right corner of your screen, and choose 'Add to Home screen'.



Now tap 'Add'.



Step 3

You should now be able to see the Hi5 icon on one of your Home screen panels! 🎉
