❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a real app or just a website?

faithed is a Progressive Web App (PWA). It's installed like a website but works like a native app with offline support, push notifications, and a full-screen experience. You get all the benefits of an app without using app store downloads.

How much storage does it use?

The initial installation is very small (under 5MB). As you use the app, it will cache your content for offline access, typically using 20-50MB depending on your usage.

Can I use it on multiple devices?

Yes! Install faithed on all your devices. Your account syncs automatically, so you can seamlessly switch between your phone, tablet, and computer.

Will I get updates automatically?

Yes! Unlike traditional apps, faithed updates automatically in the background. You'll always have the latest features without needing to manually update from an app store.

How do I uninstall it?

iOS: Long-press the faithed icon and select "Remove App"
Android: Long-press the icon and drag to "Uninstall" or go to Settings → Apps
Desktop: Right-click the app window and select "Uninstall faithed" or remove from Apps settings in your browser

Do I need to stay logged in to my browser?
