FAQ
Where can I download the awork mobile app?
You can download the app from the App Store or the Google Play Store.
Is there a dedicated awork iPad app?
No. While you can install the iOS mobile version on iPads, it has significantly fewer features than the browser version. Since the browser version works perfectly on iPad, we recommend using awork in the browser on iPad.
Tip: iPad OS allows you to create app icons from websites on the home screen. This way, you can open awork in the browser and place it directly as an icon.
Which areas does the mobile app cover?
The app includes tasks, projects, time tracking, notifications, and search. It's designed as a complement to the web app and focuses on your own tasks, time tracking, and receiving and viewing notifications.
Can I change notification settings in the app?
No. Notification settings can only be edited in the web version.
Can I edit billed time in the mobile app?
The same restrictions apply as in the web version. Billed time, for example, can no longer be edited.
