# On mobile devices

## About the mobile clients

Flow Connect is available as both an Android and an iOS app. You can download the app from Google Play and the App Store, respectively.

## Sign in

1. Open the Flow Connect app on your device.
2. Click **Sign in.**
3. Depending on how your user is signed up click **Continue with Microsoft** or **Continue with email.** If using the latter, enter your email and password, then click **Sign in with email.**
4. Select the organization you wish to sign in to. Note that this step is only necessary if your user has access to more than one organization.
5. Select the environment you wish to sign in to. Note that this step is only necessary if your user has access to more than one environment.

## Run an application

1. To start an application, click on the Application package where the Application is located.
2. Click on the Application to execute it.

#### Additional authentication when running an app

A connector can be set up to require authentication for the system it connects to. When the app reaches a step using this connector, the user will be prompted to decide if they want to connect. If they choose yes, a popup from the system will appear, allowing them to authenticate. Once authenticated, the token is reused for this connector until it expires. This means you authenticate once and the same token will be used if the connector is accessed in other apps. 

Read more about the configuration of authentication types [here](https://docs.novacura.com/flow-connect/connect-to-systems/connectors/rest#configuration-values). 

Redirect links are available [here](https://docs.novacura.com/flow-connect/working-with-connect/connect-to-systems/redirect-uris).

## Other functionality

When you swipe left on an Application, a three-dot menu is available.

The three-dot menu opens a pop-up where you will find a button to run the Application. If your application is paused, you will also be able to quit or restart the Application.

The same pop-up is accessible from Favorites by long-clicking on the favorite Application.

The pop-up contains information about the application version, and if you are accessing it from a favorite, it displays the package to which the application belongs.
