Installing Sparkk TV on iPhone or iPad

Using Add to Home Screen for an app-like experience.

Sparkk TV can be installed on your iPhone or iPad as a Progressive Web App (PWA). This lets you launch Sparkk TV from your Home Screen and use it in a full-screen, app-like experience — without downloading anything from the App Store.

What a PWA is

An app-like experience without an app store.

A Progressive Web App:

  • Launches from your Home Screen

  • Runs in full screen without browser bars

  • Updates automatically

  • Doesn’t require App Store downloads or updates

Sparkk TV uses this approach to keep setup simple and fast.

How to install on iPhone or iPad

Takes less than a minute.

To install Sparkk TV on iOS:

  1. Open Safari (required)

  2. Visit sparkk.tv

  3. Tap the Share button

  4. Select Add to Home Screen

  5. Confirm the name and tap Add

Sparkk TV will now appear on your Home Screen like a native app.

Using Sparkk TV as an app

What to expect after installation.

Once installed:

  • Tap the icon to launch Sparkk TV

  • The app opens in full screen

  • Playback and browsing behave the same as in Safari

All features remain browser-based, just without the browser interface.

Important notes for iOS

What’s required and what may vary.

  • Safari is required to install the PWA

  • Other browsers can’t add PWAs on iOS

  • Behavior may vary slightly based on iOS version

Keeping iOS up to date provides the best experience.

Updating or removing the app

No reinstallation required.

Because Sparkk TV is browser-based:

  • Updates happen automatically

  • No App Store updates are needed

To remove the app:

  • Press and hold the Sparkk TV icon

  • Select Remove App

You can always add it again later.

Troubleshooting PWA issues

If the app feels stuck or outdated.

If the installed app freezes or behaves unexpectedly:

  • Remove the app from your Home Screen

  • Reopen sparkk.tv in Safari

  • Add it to your Home Screen again

This refreshes the installation and resolves most issues.
