SriLankaExport on your phone
On Android, download it free from Google Play. On iPhone and iPad, add it to your home screen from Safari. Either way you get instant loads, full-screen browsing, and a built-in low-data mode that skips fonts and heavy images for visitors on slow connections.
The shell of the site is cached on your phone so the next opening is near-instant, even on a weak signal.
Toggle Low-data mode and the app stops downloading web fonts and large hero images. About 55KB saved each navigation.
Take it from Google Play like any other app, or install straight from your browser in two taps with no Google account and a smaller download. Uninstall either one like any home-screen app.
Download it from Google Play. It is the full marketplace, signed and distributed by Google, with your sign-in and sourcing requests carried across.
Or install from the browser, without the Play Store
Lighter to install and needs no Google account. Useful on slow or metered data.
- Open srilankaexport.com in Chrome (or another Chromium-based browser).
- Tap the three-dot menu in the top right.
- Choose Install app (or Add to Home screen) and confirm.
- Open srilankaexport.com in Safari (not Chrome on iOS, Apple blocks installs there).
- Tap the Share icon at the bottom of the screen (square with an arrow pointing up).
- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen, then tap Add in the top right.
Common questions
Is this a real app from the App Store / Play Store?
On Android, yes. SriLankaExport: B2B Sourcing is published on Google Play and is free to download. On iPhone and iPad there is no App Store version yet, so the install-from-Safari method above is the way to get it on your home screen.
You can also install straight from the browser on Android if you would rather not use the Play Store. Both give you the same marketplace and the same sign-in.
Which should I choose on Android, Google Play or the browser install?
Either works. Google Play is the familiar route and updates arrive automatically with your other apps. The browser install is a smaller download, needs no Google account, and is the better option on slow or metered data.
Is there an iPhone app?
Not yet. iOS is planned, but Apple restricts what a wrapped web app can do, so an iPhone version needs to be built differently rather than shipped as-is. Until then, adding the site to your home screen from Safari gives you a full-screen app icon, offline browsing of pages you have visited, and notifications.
What's "low-data mode" and how do I turn it on?
For buyers and suppliers on slow or expensive mobile data, low-data mode skips the web fonts and heavy hero images. Once installed, tap Low-data mode in the top bar. It saves about 55KB on every page load and stays on until you toggle it back.
Will it use up storage on my phone?
A few megabytes at most. The installed PWA caches your most-visited pages and the site shell so they load instantly on repeat visits. Uninstalling is the same as removing any app icon: long-press, then remove.
Does it work offline?
For pages you've already visited, yes: the homepage, industry landing pages, and the navigation shell are cached for offline browsing. Live actions like placing an order, contacting a supplier, or accessing your vendor dashboard still require an internet connection.
I'm on a desktop / laptop, can I install too?
Yes. In Chrome or Edge on Windows, macOS, or Linux, look for the install icon in the address bar (a monitor with a down-arrow), or open the three-dot menu and choose Install SriLankaExport. The app opens in its own window and lives in your dock or taskbar.
