Hawaii Happy Hours,
right on your home screen
Add Hawaii Happy Hours to your iPhone or Android in about 10 seconds and never miss a deal. You'll get instant push alerts when your favorite spots post happy hours, plus your claimed coupons work offline — perfect when you're at a beach bar with bad signal.
One tap. Real benefits.
Installing Hawaii Happy Hours doesn't go through the App Store or Google Play — it's a Progressive Web App, which means your phone treats it like any other app on your home screen, but it installs in seconds and never bugs you to update.
Push notifications
Follow your favorite restaurants and bars, then get a push the moment they post a new happy hour or limited-time deal — before anyone else sees it.
Coupons that work offline
Once you claim a coupon, it lives on your phone for 15 days — even if you have zero bars at a beach bar in Hāʻena, your QR-free redemption screen still loads.
Your home-screen icon
Skip typing the URL. Tap the gold HHH icon and you're straight in, full-screen, no browser tabs or address bar in the way.
Faster every time
The app pre-caches the homepage, search, and your saved listings — so opening it feels instant even on slow Wi-Fi.
Always up to date
Unlike App Store apps, there's no "Update Available" prompts. The app silently updates itself in the background every time you open it.
Tiny footprint, zero spam
Under 1 MB of storage — no bloat, no permissions you don't need, and no marketing emails unless you opt in.
Install in under a minute
Pick your phone below for step-by-step screenshots. The installation is identical whether you're a kamaʻāina or just visiting — and you can always uninstall by long-pressing the icon like any other app.

Tap the Share button
It looks like a square with an arrow pointing up. On iPhone it's usually at the bottom of the screen; on iPad it's at the top right.

Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen"
You may need to swipe down through the menu — it sits below the row of share options like AirDrop and Messages.

Tap "Add" in the top right
You can change the name first if you want, but the default ("Hawaii Happy Hours") is fine. The gold HHH icon appears on your home screen as soon as you tap Add.
After installing: open Hawaii Happy Hours from your home screen icon (not Safari) and you'll be prompted to enable push notifications. That's the magic — it's the only way iPhone allows web apps to send you alerts.
Common questions
Is this a real app from the App Store?
No — and that's the point. It's a Progressive Web App (PWA). Your phone wraps the website in a home-screen icon and runs it full-screen, but there's no App Store download, no review approval, and no manual updates. Apple, Google, and Microsoft all support PWAs natively. Companies like Twitter, Starbucks, and Pinterest ship the same way.
Will it slow down my phone or use a lot of storage?
No. The whole app is well under 1 MB. For comparison, that's smaller than a single high-res photo from your camera roll. It uses about as much battery as keeping a browser tab open.
Why do I need to install it to get notifications?
Push notifications on iPhone only work if Hawaii Happy Hours is added to your home screen — that's an Apple requirement, not ours. On Android they work either way, but they're more reliable when installed. Either way, you'll only ever get notifications you've opted into (followed restaurants posting new deals, daily summary, etc.) and you can turn them off any time from your phone's Settings.
Can I uninstall it later?
Yes, exactly the same way as any other app. Long-press the Hawaii Happy Hours icon on your home screen, tap 'Remove App' (iPhone) or 'Uninstall' (Android), and it's gone — along with the cached data.
Does it work on iPad / Android tablets?
Yes. The install steps are identical to iPhone (iPad) and Android phones (tablet). The app adapts its layout for the larger screen.
Why doesn't the install option appear in Chrome on my iPhone?
Apple restricts PWA installation to Safari only on iPhone and iPad. If you're using Chrome, Firefox, or another browser on iOS, you'll need to open hawaiihappyhours.com in Safari to install. On Android, any modern browser works (Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet, Brave).
Is the data the same as the website?
Identical. The app and website share the same database, so your account, saved listings, and claimed coupons follow you across both. You can claim a coupon on your laptop and redeem it from the app — they're the same thing.
