How to use Event Beast

Put it on your phone like an app, then learn the few moves that make planning fast.

Event Beast

Open it from your Home Screen

Tap the new purple EB icon. Event Beast opens full screen, with no browser bars. It also refreshes the events when you come back to it after a few minutes.

💡 Tip: on iPhone this only works from Safari, not from inside another app’s browser. If you opened a link from a text message or email, tap the Safari compass icon (or “Open in Safari”) first.
💡 Older iPhone or iPad? If you don’t see the ••• button, tap the Share button (a box with an arrow pointing up) in the bottom bar instead, then carry on at step 3.

Android (Chrome)

Open the menu

Open eventbeast.net in Chrome and tap the ⋮ (three dots) in the top corner.

Tap Add to Home screen (or Install app), then confirm. The icon appears on your Home screen.
