Sitedrive Mobile is the phone app for the people doing the work on site. Crews use it to see their upcoming work, report status and raise blockers and issues. Supervisors use it to check the schedule and follow up open issues while walking the site.

You can use the installed app on iPhone and Android, or open the same app in your phone's browser.

## Before you start

-   Someone who manages users on the site must invite you first. See [Teams and people](https://support.sitedrive.com/en/kb/teams-and-people).
-   Sign in with the **same email address you were invited with**. If you sign in with Google, Microsoft or Apple, Sitedrive uses the email address of that account.
-   To see your own work, you must also be in a team, be assigned to tasks or own work packages. See [Who sees what on mobile](https://support.sitedrive.com/en/kb/mobile-who-sees-what).

## Install the app

Install Sitedrive Mobile from the store for your phone:

-   **iPhone:** [Sitedrive Mobile on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/sitedrive-mobile/id6446890913)
-   **Android:** [Sitedrive Mobile on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sitedrive.mobile)

1.  Open the store link above on your phone, or tap the link in your invitation email.
2.  Install the app.
3.  Open it.

If you prefer not to install anything, you can open Sitedrive Mobile in your phone's browser at the mobile web address. Push notifications are only available in the installed app.

## Sign in

The iPhone app also shows Sign in with Apple._

1.  Open Sitedrive Mobile. The **Welcome!** screen opens.
2.  Select the sign-in method you use: **Sign in with Google**, **Sign in with Microsoft**, **Sign in with Email**, or **Sign in with Apple** (iPhone app only).
3.  Follow the steps for your account provider.

If you don't have a Sitedrive ID yet, one is created the first time you sign in.

### Sign in with email

Sitedrive doesn't use passwords. Instead, it emails you a sign-in code.

1.  Select **Sign in with Email**.
2.  Enter your **Email**.
3.  Select **Continue**.
4.  Open the email from Sitedrive on your phone.
5.  Type the 8-digit code into **Code from email**.

## Open a schedule

After you sign in, **Your schedules** lists the schedules you have access to. If you work for more than one company, the schedules are grouped by account.

1.  To find a site quickly, tap the search icon and type the site name or address.
2.  Tap a schedule card to open it.

Sites that are still in the planning phase show **Planning phase** and can't be opened on mobile, because sites that are not in production can't take status updates. Only sites in the production phase open. Ask your site administrator to move the site to production when work starts. See [Creating a site](https://support.sitedrive.com/en/kb/creating-a-site).

When the schedule opens, you land on the tab that suits your role. See [Finding your work on mobile](https://support.sitedrive.com/en/kb/mobile-finding-your-work).

## Change your profile and language

1.  On the schedule list, tap your avatar.
2.  Edit your **First name**, **Last name**, **Job description** or **Phone number**.
3.  Under **Preferences**, choose your **UI language**.
4.  Choose your **Date formatting**.

The profile page also has **Notifications**, **Support**, **Privacy Policy** and **Delete Account**.

To sign out, tap your avatar and select **Sign Out**.

## Turn on notifications

Notifications work only in the installed app, not in the browser.

1.  Tap your avatar.
2.  Select **Notifications**.
3.  Choose what you want to hear about, for example **My upcoming work packages**, **Work package status changes** and **New blocker requests**.
4.  To avoid messages in the evening, turn on **Only send notifications during working hours**.

## Good to know

-   **"We can't find you in any Sitedrive account"** means Sitedrive has no invitation for the email address you signed in with. Check the address shown in the message, then sign in with the one you were invited with, or ask your site contact.
-   **"That code is wrong or has expired"** means you need a new code. Go back and send yourself a new one. Use the latest email only.
-   **"Too many sign-in requests from this network"** means you requested too many codes in a short time. Wait a few minutes and try again.
-   **"Account already exists with different credentials"** means your email is already linked to another sign-in method. Sign in with an email code, then merge the sign-in methods in your user settings.
-   If a site shows **Read-only site**, you can view its data but your changes can't be saved.
-   When an update is available, the app asks you to update (installed app) or reload the page (browser).
