The Ocean Systems app is a Progressive Web Application (PWA) which integrates securely with your desktop or mobile device’s OS. The Ocean Systems PWA is NOT available via app stores; it is only available via this domain.
Why You Should Consider Installing
It is the future, which is here now. Secure. Cross-platform. Integrated with your device OS. Not to mention improved responsiveness, offline caching, and more. You can learn more about the many advantages of PWA via the Mozilla Developers MDN Web Docs.
“As of 2021, PWA features are supported to varying degrees by Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Firefox for Android, and Microsoft Edge but not Firefox for desktop.” – Wikipedia

Apple is late to the PWA game, as I’m sure there was apprehension about bypassing their app store, but support continues to improve across macOS & iOS browsers. For a recent article on the topic, check out “PWA on iOS: What’s New?”, via Brainhub
