Mobile App Installation Guide

Install the Jorbos app on iOS and Android for instant job access, push notifications, and field dispatching.

About the Mobile Application

Our mobile app installs directly onto your phone or tablet without taking up significant device storage. It provides faster load times, fullscreen operation, push notifications, and real-time field communications that are not available through standard mobile browsers.



Installation Steps

Step 1 Visit the website on your mobile device

Open your mobile browser and navigate to https://www.jorbos.com.

Important: Make sure you include the www. prefix in the address. Accessing the non-www address may prevent the app install prompt from triggering.
Step 2 Add the app to your Home Screen

Follow the specific instructions for your mobile operating system:

Chrome on Android
  1. Tap the three vertical dots (⋮) at the top right corner.
  2. Select Add to Home screen (or Install App).
  3. Tap Install to confirm.
Safari on iPhone & iPad
  1. Tap the Share button (the square with an upward arrow at the bottom).
  2. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
  3. Tap Add in the top right corner.
Step 3 Open the app and configure permissions

Find the app icon on your home screen and open it to log into your Jorbos account. Upon first launch, accept the following two prompts:

Location Access: Tap "Allow" if your employer has enabled location tracking for dispatching and check-ins.
Push Notifications: Tap "Allow" so you receive real-time job dispatch alerts and direct team chat messages.
