How do I set up my homescreen?

Add, order, hide and change the blocks on the homescreen of your TMSQR app, before, during and after your festival.

Written by Derrick Smittenaar

You set up the homescreen of your TMSQR app in the Home section of the TMSQR App Manager. You add content blocks, put them in the order you want and change them at any time, for example to highlight ticket sales before the festival and the timetable during the festival.

Available in: all plans (Platform and Standalone)

Which blocks can I add to my homescreen?

  • Countdown timer: counts down to the start of your festival or the start of ticket sales.

  • Text line: a short pay-off, slogan or quote.

  • Latest push notification: shows your most recent push notification.

  • News items: as many as you like, each with an image.

  • Banners: for sponsors, or to put focus on a page in your app.

  • Spotify playlist: lets visitors preview your line-up with 30-second song previews.

  • Social media: links to your social media channels.

  • Dual app button: switches to your second app, if you have a dual app.

  • Recommended apps: promotes other apps in TMSQR.

How do I add a block to my homescreen?

  1. Log in to the TMSQR App Manager and go to Home.

  2. Click Add content block.

  3. Select the type of block and click the green Create button.

  4. Fill in the block and click the green Save button.

The block now appears on the homescreen of your TMSQR app.

How do I change the order of the blocks?

In Home, grab a block at the dots on the left and drag it to the position you want.

Can I hide a block without deleting it?

Yes. Open the block and set it to Not published. The block disappears from your homescreen, and you can publish it again at any time.

How do I set or change the countdown timer?

Add a countdown timer block and set the date and time it counts down to. Write the goal in the subtitle, such as "Until the doors open" or "Until ticket sales start". One hour after the countdown reaches zero, the countdown timer disappears from your homescreen automatically.

How do I create or change a text line?

Add a text line block and write your text. A text line is meant for a short pay-off, slogan or quote, for example "Explore the line-up with our Spotify playlist" above your Spotify playlist. There is no character limit, but short text looks best.

How do I show the latest push notification on my homescreen?

Add the latest push notification block. Your homescreen then always shows your most recent push notification, also to visitors who switched push notifications off.

How do I add or change my social media links?

Add a Social media block and fill in the URLs of your channels. You can add links to:

  • X

  • Facebook

  • Instagram

  • YouTube

  • Vimeo

  • TikTok

  • LinkedIn

  • Bluesky

  • Threads

  • Bandcamp

Only channels with a URL show in your app.
