Two taps, no store
Put Otarosta on your phone
Otarosta is not on the App Store or the Play Store. It goes straight onto your home screen from here — same icon, same one tap to open, and it works when you have no signal. Nothing to download and nothing to update.
Checking your phone…
Opens instantly
No browser bar, no address to type. It launches like any other app on your phone.
Works with no signal
Your roster is already on the phone. It opens in a hotel with bad wifi, or in the crew bus underground.
Report-time reminders
Notifications only work once it is on your home screen — that is an Apple rule, not ours.
Nothing to download
No App Store, no Play Store, no 60 MB over airport wifi. It is already on your phone once you add it.

You opened this from inside another app, and an app’s built-in browser cannot add anything to your home screen.
Adding it to your home screen does not create an account or share anything. If you have not signed up yet, start here — it is free for crew.
