Get the Xgoals app

iPhone and iPad

Use Safari (Apple only lets Safari add web apps to the Home Screen; on iOS 16.4 and later, Chrome and Edge can too, through their own Share button).

1. Open xgoals.io in Safari.
2. Tap the Share button in the toolbar (at the bottom on iPhone, at the top on iPad).
3. Scroll down the list and tap Add to Home Screen . If you do not see it, tap Edit Actions at the bottom and add it.
4. Keep the name Xgoals and tap Add at the top right.
5. Open Xgoals from the new xG icon on your Home Screen. From now on, always open it from there.

Notifications on iPhone and iPad work only in the installed app (Apple's rule), on iOS 16.4 or later. Open Xgoals from the Home Screen icon, then turn them on as shown under Goal notifications.

Android

Use Chrome (Samsung Internet, Edge and Firefox work too; the words differ a little).

1. Open xgoals.io in Chrome.
2. If a bar or a pop-up offers Install, tap it and skip to step 4.
3. Otherwise tap the menu at the top right and choose Install app (on some phones: Add to Home screen, then Install).
4. Confirm with Install. The xG icon appears on your home screen and in your app drawer.
5. Open Xgoals from the icon.

Samsung Internet: menu (three lines) → Add page to → Home screen. Firefox: menu → Install or Add to Home screen.

Desktop: Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook

1. Chrome: open xgoals.io, click the install icon at the right end of the address bar, then Install. Or menu → Cast, save and share → Install page as app.
2. Edge: click the install icon in the address bar, or menu → Apps → Install this site as an app.
3. Safari on a Mac (macOS Sonoma or later): menu bar → File → Add to Dock, then Add.
4. Xgoals opens in its own window, with its own icon in the taskbar, Dock or Launchpad, and in the Start menu on Windows.

Firefox on desktop cannot install web apps. Pin the tab instead (right-click the tab → Pin Tab), or use Chrome, Edge or Safari for the app.

Goal notifications

1. Add matches, teams or competitions to your Favourites: tap the star next to them.
2. Tap the bell at the top of any page and choose Turn on. Your phone or browser asks for permission once: allow it.
3. Pick what to hear about: goals, red cards, VAR, kick-off, half time, full time, and the live xG alert level (Orange, Red or Deep red), for your Favourites or every match.

Notifications blocked? Allow them for xgoals.io in your phone's or browser's settings (iPhone: Settings → Notifications → Xgoals), then come back and tap the bell again.
