Modernhunter as an app
on your Android phone.

There is currently no Modernhunter app available in the Google Play Store. Until the new version is released, simply install our web app directly on your smartphone – after that you'll use it like any normal app, including push notifications for new captures.

Why this guide

No app for now – no problem.

A new version of our Android app has already been uploaded and is currently being reviewed by Google. As part of the changeover, however, the previous app was temporarily taken offline – which is why there is currently no Modernhunter app to be found in the Google Play Store.

So that you can continue to conveniently receive captures and set up cameras from your phone, we've extended our web app so that you can add it to your home screen. It then opens in full screen like an app – so you don't have to wait for the release in the Play Store.

Preparation

This is what you need.

Requirements
  • an Android smartphone with the Google Chrome browser (usually pre-installed)
  • your Modernhunter login details (email and password)
  • an active internet connection
Open the web appapp.modernhunter.de
In the Chrome browser on your Android phone
→ Open
Chrome on your Android phone

Open & sign in.

The same login details as in the app – no new account needed.

  1. On your Android phone, open the Chrome browser.
  2. Go to the address app.modernhunter.de.
  3. Sign in with your email address and your password.
Installation prompt

Install the app.

Appears automatically at the bottom of the screen.

  1. After signing in, the "Install app" prompt appears.
    Prompt "Install app – Add Modernhunter to your home screen" with the "Later" and "Install" buttons
    The installation prompt after signing in
  2. Tap Install.
  3. Also confirm Chrome's follow-up question about adding Modernhunter to your home screen.
  4. The Modernhunter icon now sits on your home screen like any other app.
Prompt doesn't appear?

Then install manually: in Chrome, tap the menu icon (three dots) in the top right and select Install app or Add to Home screen.

Right after installation

Allow notifications.

The prompt appears right after the installation.

  1. Afterwards you'll be asked whether you'd like to receive notifications.
  2. Tap Allow.
  3. Done – from now on you'll receive a push notification as soon as new captures from your cameras arrive.
What the installed web app can do

Receive and view captures, set up and manage new cameras, and get push notifications for new captures – in other words, everything you know from the app.

If something gets stuck

Quickly checked.

If the installation or notification doesn't work right away, one of these points almost always helps.

If something doesn't work – check
  • Are you really using Google Chrome as your browser? In other browsers the prompt may be missing.
  • Are you going to exactly app.modernhunter.de and are you correctly signed in?
  • No notifications? In the Android settings, check under Apps → Modernhunter → Notifications whether they are allowed.
  1. Open app.modernhunter.de in Chrome and sign in.
  2. Tap the menu icon (three dots) in the top right.
  3. Select Install app or Add to Home screen.
  4. Confirm with Install – done.
Done

One app, all your captures.

The Modernhunter web app now sits as an icon on your home screen and opens in full screen like a normal app. As soon as the new Android app is released by Google, you can switch back to the app from the Play Store at any time – until then, the installed web app is a fully equivalent replacement.

Note for iPhone users

This guide applies to Android. On the iPhone, the Modernhunter app is still available in the App Store – so iPhone users don't need to change anything.
