About PWA Help

PWA Help is an independent information service for people installing apps from the web.

All guides and checks are free. No accounts, paid placements, affiliate links or advertising. We are not affiliated with browser makers or the publishers of apps you check.

Our sources

Useful checks, with clear limits

We read publicly accessible HTML and manifest metadata. We do not certify a website’s security or guarantee installation. We do not run the app or test offline use. Publisher descriptions and support links are labelled separately from our checks.
