Official Add to Homescreen WordPress Plugin
Official Add To Homescreen plugin displays a callout to mobile users inviting them to add the website to the home screen.
Official Add To Homescreen is a WordPress wrapper for the Add To Homescreen javascript plugin. This WordPress plugin guides you through the rather complicated javascript widget configuration.
This is the only WordPress plugin developed by the same author of the javascript widget (hence "official"). If you wish to be always up to date and receive the latest bug fixes, this plugin is probably your best bet.
The plugin opens a message inviting the mobile user to add the application to the home screen. This is currently supported on iOS and Mobile Chrome. While other devices have the ability to bookmark any website to the home screen, only iOS and Mobile Chrome have a straightforward way to do it. Windows Phone support is planned for a future release.
