Home Assistant is not available on the Play Store. Instead, Home Assistant leverages the new [manifest.json support](https://w3c.github.io/manifest/) to allow Android devices to add the web application to your homescreen as if it was a native application.
1. Open Chrome
2. Navigate to your Home Assistant instance
3. Click on the menu icon (three vertical dots)
4. Click on Add to Homescreen
5. A dialog will popup, click on Add

Some internet service providers will only offer dynamic IPs. This can cause you to be unable to access Home Assistant while being remote. You can solve this by using a free Dynamic DNS service like [No-IP](http://www.noip.com/).
