Added an installable web-app experience for Android and iPhone/iPad, so NZ Citizenship Check can live on the Home Screen and open in its own app-style window. The Use it like an app section is now available across the public website and adapts Android installation help for Chrome, Brave, Firefox, Samsung Internet and in-app browsers, with clear iPhone/iPad Home Screen guidance. Installed devices keep direct access to the Eligibility Calculator, Travel Impact Simulator and Application Checklist.

Refined the Eligibility Calculator so every Calculate action starts with a fresh result and only the latest successful calculation is carried into the Travel Impact Simulator.

Expanded the Reviews page so ratings without written comments are visible, and added a direct review form with a Leave your review shortcut from the rating overview.
