Genius Loci is not a native app. It therefore does not appear on the Apple App Store or Google Play.
\nThis has many advantages: for example no need to install it, but the drawback is that the shortcut icon does not appear automatically.<\/p>\n

It is, however, very easy to add a Genius Loci icon to your phone.<\/p>\n

On iPhone, once on your Place, tap the small arrow at the bottom centre of your phone. Then tap “Add to Home Screen” and the shortcut appears.<\/p>\n

On Android, depending on the device or browser, the option may be called: “Add to Home Screen” or “Install App”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
