Odoo offers two ways to access your databases from a mobile device: a Progressive Web App (PWA) and native store apps for Android and iOS. The PWA is the recommended option for most users because it supports push notifications, SSO authentication, and a seamless full-screen experience across all platforms.

​
Progressive Web App (PWA)

PWAs are web-based applications that run inside a browser but behave like native apps — they can be added to your home screen, receive push notifications, and provide a borderless, full-screen navigation experience. Odoo PWA features:
  • Home screen shortcut for quick access
  • Seamless, borderless navigation experience
  • Push notifications
  • SSO (Single Sign-On) authentication

​
Installing the PWA

To install the Odoo PWA, open a supported browser, sign in to your Odoo database, and follow the platform-specific instructions below.
Chrome: Open Chrome’s menu (⋮), select Install app, and tap Install.Firefox: Open Firefox’s menu (⋮), select Install, then either touch and hold the Odoo icon or tap Add automatically.The PWA can also be installed with Samsung Internet, Edge, and Opera.
Push notifications and home-screen installation require a browser that supports the PWA standard. Safari on iOS 16.3 and earlier only supports installation via the Share menu and does not support push notifications.

​
Store Apps

Native Odoo apps are available for download from both major app stores.

Google Play Store

Download the Odoo app for Android from the Google Play Store.

Apple App Store

Download the Odoo app for iOS from the Apple App Store.

​
Store App Capabilities and Limitations

The store apps support multi-account management (switching between multiple Odoo databases), but they are not compatible with SSO authentication. If your organization uses Single Sign-On, use the PWA instead.

For the best mobile experience, use the PWA — it is always up-to-date with your Odoo version, supports SSO, and does not require an app store download or update.
