# Web Bluetooth App

The Web Bluetooth App can be accessed at <https://app.onegiantleap.co.nz> using one of the supported platforms listed [below](#supported-platforms).

{% hint style="info" %}
After visiting the Web Bluetooth app for the first time, an internet connection is **not** required for future visits to the Web Bluetooth app. This is because the Web Bluetooth app is cached (downloaded in the background) on your phone/computer so it becomes available to use when offline. If you have an internet connection when visiting the Web Bluetooth app it will automatically check for a new version and if an update is available it will download the new version in the background. The new version will be used on the *next* visit to the Web Bluetooth app. The latest version of the Web Bluetooth App is **v0.3.2**.
