SANBORN CENTRAL e-NEWS
 
Sanborn Central is pleased to announce the creation of a new app for smart phones and iPads that will make it easier to keep in touch with events at Sanborn Central. This is not a true app in the sense that you will be able to find it in an app store, but rather a website that has been designed specifically for the small screens found on smart phones and iPads. You will need to have internet access on your device to use this app. 
 
To get started, go to www.sanbornmobile.us on your smart phone or iPad, using whatever method you usually use to access the internet. You may also wish to click on this link while viewing your email on your device. If you are using an Apple device, you may have a little message pop up asking if you want to create a shortcut on your screen. We recommend that you do so for ease of using the app. If you don’t get a pop up message, you will probably want to bookmark the site, then add the bookmark link to your home screen. 
 
Here are some general instructions that may help you with adding a link to the app on your device screen. 
 
Apple (iOS) phones: 
1. Launch the browser (probably Safari) and go to the desired site (www.sanbornmobile.us)
2. Tap the share button at the bottom of the screen (it’s a square with an arrow over it)
3. From the options that pop up, select Add to Home Screen
4. You can then change the name of the icon to what you want it to display, and press Add in the top right corner

 
Android phones:
1. Launch the browser (probably Safari) and go to the desired site (www.sanbornmobile.us)
2. Press Menu, then Add Bookmark
3. Change the name of the bookmark, if desired, and press Add
4. Press Menu again, then select Bookmarks
5. Long press the Sanborn Central bookmark you just created until a menu pops up
6. Select Add shortcut to Home

 
iPad:
1. Launch the browser (probably Safari) and go to the desired site (www.sanbornmobile.us)
2. Tap the share button at the top of the screen (it’s a square with an arrow over it)
3. From the options that pop up, select Add to Home Screen
4. You can then change the name of the icon to what you want it to display, and press Add in the top right corner
