Yes! However, we’ve transitioned away from a traditional app store download and now offer tonebase as a Progressive Web App (PWA). This gives you the full tonebase experience on your mobile device — fast, smooth, and with all the features you know and love.
Installing the app only takes a few seconds, and you’ll be up and running with the best tonebase experience on mobile.
iOS (iPhone or iPad)
1. Open Safari or Chrome, go to https://app.tonebase.co
2. Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow pointing up)
3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen
4. Tap Add in the top-right corner
Android
1. Open Chrome and go to https://app.tonebase.co
2. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner
3. Tap Add to Home screen
4. Tap Add, then confirm if prompted
That’s it! You’ll now see the tonebase icon on your home screen for quick access.
Why We Removed the tonebase App from App Stores
For years, one of the most frequent requests we heard from our members was to “create a tonebase app.” You wanted a way to easily use tonebase on the go — whether that meant watching lessons on your commute, reviewing technique tips at the practice bench, or jumping into the Community between sessions.
We listened and built a tonebase app for both iOS and Android. But over time, we began to see some major limitations.
For one, app store policies made it incredibly difficult to provide a full-featured experience. Unless we implemented payments directly through the app, we couldn’t include essential features like participating in the Community, taking the Level Quiz, or joining coaching programs.
Also, as a small, nimble team, maintaining both a standalone app and our full-featured website became too cumbersome — and ultimately, it meant we were spending more time fixing app-specific issues than building great new tools and content for you.
So we made the decision to remove the tonebase app from the App Store and Google Play.
The New tonebase Mobile Experience
This doesn’t mean tonebase is no longer being optimized for mobile — far from it!
In fact, we’ve found that the tonebase experience on mobile is better when accessed through your device’s browser using something called a Progressive Web App (PWA).
What’s a Progressive Web App?
A Progressive Web App is a website that behaves like a native app — it loads quickly, works offline, and can be launched from your home screen just like any other app. The big difference? It doesn’t live in the app store.
With a PWA, you get the full power of tonebase — including access to the Community, Level Quiz, and all your courses — in a lightweight, smooth, and secure mobile experience.
And best of all, it only takes a few seconds to install! (see above for instructions)
