Using the Mobile Version
On a smartphone, Tacticalista opens the mobile editor, which you operate from the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Boards are shared with the desktop version, so you can edit the same project on a computer or a smartphone. Tablets such as the iPad use the desktop editor with touch.
On a smartphone, add Tacticalista to your home screen before using it. If you keep it open in the browser, a message asking you to add it to the home screen stays at the bottom of the screen. → Use as PWA
