If you have an iphone, you may need to enable cookies for the FAST site. For some reason Apple turns that off by default--requiring you to login each time. Here's a quick google search on how to do that: Enabling Cookies.

Also, if you have trouble adding a shortcut to the home page on your device, it may be your device considers our site untrusted. Here's how to fix that: Untrusted Shortcuts. I don't think this normally happens, but just in case...

You can do this for any page on our site Christine, or for that matter, any webpage on any website. Very handy little trick every one with a smart phone should know! :)

For that matter, you could create a folder on your phone and put several FAST pages in that folder so you have instant access to any section you frequently use. Pretty handy indeed!

Hi Mario . Did you watch the videos? And can you tell me what kind of phone you have? There's a link to a video for both Android and IOS in the reading above. That will probably show you better exactly how to do it.

Or just do a google search on how to add a shortcut to your particular type of phone. It's just a click or two... If you still have trouble, let me know which of the the three steps you had trouble with. Once you get the hang of it, you can create all the shortcuts you want!

Actually Rick, IOS does not allow apps that are simply a link to a mobile version of the site. And I'm not sure Google would approve something like that either. And trying to recreate all the resources on our website natively in multiple platforms is not really practical.

On the flip side, once you learn how to create a mobile shortcut like this you can add a link to any section or tool on our site, and any other site for that matter. It's definitely worth learning how to do. And once you get the hang of it, it's super easy! It's just the first time... :)

Thanks for giving the engine a try. I hope you find it helpful!

Give it a try Claudette! If it doesn't work right you can easily delete the shortcut. Just give a long press on the icon, and then slide it into the trach can.

Chrome is just the name of the browser Karen. The icon looks like a circle with red, green, and yellow around the outside and a blue dot in the middle. If you have an apple phone, you'll want to look for the safari icon. Basically, it's whatever you use to view a web page on the internet.

Sorry I missed your posts, ladies. :)

Rick, yes--you are just adding a shortcut (an icon) to your phone's home page. Shouldn't affect anything on the FAST site. :)

Here's another link that explains how to do it. They had really good pictures. Here's one of the Apple shortcut icon:

Android is different of course, but it seems to be the IOS folks having the most trouble. See image above Mario .

Oh, and one other BIG thing. Make sure you are on the exact page you want to bookmark before creating the bookmark. In fact, you can have multiple bookmarks for different sections of the site as needed. Definitely one for the home page of course...

Things are always changing and we always have different versions among us, so we'll just keep updating this page as needed.

Thanks Diane for the detailed instructions! Definitely better than mine!

Hi Mario and Rick! If the video link above helped, then great! If not, here is a breakdown that might help (I hope it doesn’t confuse you all the more).
1. When you open FAST in Safari, scroll down until a white bar appears at the bottom of your iPhone screen.
2. On this bar, you’ll see a left arrow (<) and a right arrow (>). In the middle of that white bar, you’ll see a box with an arrow pointing upward (the stem of the arrow is in the box attaching to the top of the arrow). Click on that.
3. Another screen will pop-up. On the bottom of that pop-up screen, scroll left to access icons to the right.
4. Click on the “Add to Home Screen” icon button that shows a white “+” sign inside a black box (has tapered corners) that is surrounded by a white border (also has tapered corners).
5. Another screen will pop-up. Type in “FAST,” or “Memorize,” or whatever you desire, at the blinking cursor,
6. Then click “Add” in the upper right corner of that screen.
(Note: The word “Add” will not appear until you type something. Whatever you type will appear on your iPhone’s home screen, under the FAST icon.)

The photo of you and your wife, Rick, shouldn’t disappear, as you are adding an icon to your home screen.

Dan Vis,

Yes, Already put the ikon on my phone few days ago. It works perfectly. Thanks!

You are more than welcome Connie . Let us know if you have any trouble putting an icon on your phone. :)

PS. Make sure you are on the page you want to start out on before creating the icon as described above.
