Install the Estrade hockey pool app

The Estrade app is coming soon to the App Store. Until then, add Estrade to your home screen: it's the only way to get "it's your turn" on iPhone.

1. 1. Open Estrade in Safari.
2. 2. Tap at the bottom of Safari.
3. 3. Scroll down, then tap "Add to Home Screen".
4. 4. Reopen Estrade from its new icon.

No Play Store needed: Chrome installs Estrade directly, like an app.

Open this page in Chrome: the Install button appears when Chrome can install Estrade.

1. 1. Open Estrade in Chrome.
2. 2. Tap ⋮ at the top right.
3. 3. Choose "Install app" or "Add to Home Screen".

On a computer, Estrade works in any browser, at estrade.ca. There's nothing to install.

On Mac, the Estrade app is coming soon to the Mac App Store, for Macs with Apple silicon. Until then, the site works in Safari.

Once installed, Estrade opens from its icon, full screen, without the browser bar. It's the same site as on a computer: your draft queue, the draft room, your lineup, your trades and your pool's standings.

During the draft, Estrade alerts you when it's your turn, even if you closed the tab or your phone is locked. During the season, it notifies you when one of your players gets hurt, returns to play or changes teams, when a trade is proposed to you, when a player is claimed in your pool and when your players score points during a game.

With the iPhone app, once it's out, your turn will also show on the lock screen, with the clock counting down. The app will remind you of your pick ten minutes before your turn ends, and an hour before in a slow draft.

To receive them on a device, tap "Turn on notifications" in the draft room or on the Notifications page, then accept the browser's prompt. Do it on each device. On iPhone and iPad, do it from the Home Screen icon.

On a computer, alerts arrive by email. The browser can also show them if you turn on notifications there the same way.

By default, email and mobile notifications are on, and so are all the alerts, except line changes and articles about your players. Draft picks and live points arrive by notification only, never by email. After the draft, a summary of your pool arrives every Monday.

On the Notifications page, the "Send a test notification" button sends you one to check that your device receives it.

Open Notifications in your account menu. "Mobile notifications" turns off notifications on all your devices at once, and "Email" turns off emails. Further down, each alert has its own switch: you can keep "it's your turn" and turn off live points, for example.

You can also turn off Estrade notifications in your phone's or browser's settings.

Your account, pools and picks are the same everywhere: phone, tablet and computer. You can start the draft on a computer and finish it on your phone. You sign in with your email, no password.

Opened from an iPhone's Home Screen, Estrade may ask you to sign in again once.
