Frequently asked questions

Is Gophin safe to install?

Yes. Gophin is reviewed and distributed through the App Store and Google Play, and the browser version runs in a secure sandbox over HTTPS with permissions you grant.

Will Gophin use a lot of storage?

No. Gophin stays small however you install it, and caches only what it needs to open quickly.

How do I update Gophin?

Updates happen automatically. From a store the app updates like any other; installed from the browser it checks for new files each time you open it.

Can I uninstall Gophin?

Yes. On iOS, long-press the icon and choose “Remove App.” On Android, long-press and tap “Uninstall,” or remove it from your system app settings.

Why doesn’t “Add to Home Screen” appear on my iPhone?

The shortcut only exists in Safari. Open gophin.app in Safari, then scroll within the share sheet to see the option.

Will I receive push notifications?

Android supports them immediately. iOS requires version 16.4 or later to enable PWA notifications in system settings.

Does Gophin work offline?

Recently viewed swimmer data and recaps stay cached for offline reference. A connection is needed to sync fresh results.

Can I install Gophin on desktop?

Yes. Chrome and Edge on macOS, Windows, and Linux show an install icon in the address bar or a dedicated “Install Gophin” menu item.

Troubleshooting

iPhone: “Add to Home Screen” missing

Confirm you are using Safari, then scroll in the share sheet. The option often sits below the fold.

Android: Install option missing

Clear Chrome’s cache or open an incognito tab for a fresh visit. The install banner returns after a clean load.

App not updating

Close the app, swipe it away from the multitasking view, then reopen. If content still feels stale, uninstall and reinstall.
