CUE has their web player, which is great, but there are two issues.
1. Branding is Missing
First, they didn’t brand it under their name. I mean, this is the URL:
https://cuebroadcast.sotalcloud.com/screen/TVClunky, right? Why didn’t they just use a sub-domain of cuebroadcast.com and iframe it? That is what I would have done.

- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.

Tip: If you don’t see “Add to Home Screen,” scroll a bit further down the Share menu, or tap Edit Actions… and add it.
Android (Chrome)
- Open the CUE Web Player in Chrome: https://cuewebplayer.tcstix.com/
- Tap the 3-dot menu in the top-right corner.
- Tap Add to Home screen or Install app (the wording can vary).

Quick Troubleshooting
- Use the right browser: iPhone/iPad = Safari, Android = Chrome.
- If it opens in a normal browser tab: delete the shortcut and add it again.
- If audio won’t play: turn up volume while the player is open and make sure Silent Mode / Do Not Disturb isn’t blocking sound.
