# Using the Mobile App

The OcuTrap mobile app gives you the same control as the web dashboard — manage traps, view captures, control the door, adjust settings, and see trap locations — from your phone. It's also how you receive **push notifications** the moment something happens.

***

## Download the App

* **iPhone / iPad (iOS):** [Download on the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/id1539244938)
* **Android:** [Get it on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ocutrap.ocutrap)

***

## Sign In

The mobile app uses the **same account** as the web app:

* If you already have an account, sign in with your existing email and password.
* New to OcuTrap? Create an account at [base.ocutrap.com](https://base.ocutrap.com/) (or in the app), then see [Adding a Trap to Your Account](/getting-started/app/adding-a-trap-to-your-account.md).

***

## What You Can Do

The mobile app has the **same features as the web dashboard**. From the app you can:

* View live trap status and **capture images**.
* **Open, close, arm, and unarm** traps remotely.
* Adjust [Trap Settings](/getting-started/app/trap-settings.md) and [Notification Settings](/getting-started/app/notification-settings.md).
* See trap locations on the map.

## Turn On Push Notifications

Push notifications are the fastest way to know about a capture. Two things need to be on:

1. **In the app:** open a trap's **Settings → Notification Settings** and set the types you care about (**Capture**, **Alert**, **Error**) to **Push Notification** or **Push Notification + Email**. See [Notification Settings](/getting-started/app/notification-settings.md).
2. **On your phone:** allow notifications for the OcuTrap app.
   * **iOS:** Settings → Notifications → OcuTrap → Allow Notifications.
   * **Android:** Settings → Apps → OcuTrap → Notifications.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you're set up for push but not receiving alerts, the phone-level permission in the step above is the most common thing to check.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ocutrap.com/getting-started/app/using-the-mobile-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
