Quintonic brings active seniors together for outings, forums, and friendly or romantic meetings all over France. On tablets, accessing the site raises practical questions: no dedicated app, navigation via the browser, touch ergonomics. This guide details each step to create an account and use Quintonic on an Android tablet or iPad.
Quintonic on tablet: why there is no app to download
The first surprise for many beginners: Quintonic does not offer any app on Google Play or the App Store. As of July 2026, the platform still operated exclusively through the web browser, whether on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
In practice, this means you need to open Chrome on an Android tablet or Safari on an iPad, then type quintonic.fr in the address bar. The site then displays like a regular web page, with no downloads or updates to manage. This setup has a real advantage: no storage taken up on the tablet, no intrusive notifications to configure.
To easily find Quintonic without retyping the address each time, a user guide for Quintonic my account explains how to create a shortcut directly on the tablet’s home screen, simulating the behavior of an app.
Creating a Quintonic shortcut on the home screen
On Android tablet with Chrome: open quintonic.fr, tap the three vertical dots at the top right, then select “Add to home screen”. A name is suggested (by default “Quintonic”), just confirm.
On iPad with Safari: open quintonic.fr, tap the share icon (the square with an arrow), choose “Add to Home Screen”, confirm the name, and validate. The shortcut then appears as a classic icon on the home screen, and a simple tap opens the site directly.
Quintonic registration on tablet: concrete steps and common pitfalls
Registration is free. On tablet, the form is the same as on a computer, but touch input multiplies typing errors, especially on the email address. Here are the precise steps:
- Tap the “Sign up” button visible at the top right of the quintonic.fr homepage. On tablet in portrait mode, this button may be partially hidden: switching to landscape mode makes it easier to read.
- Fill out the complete form (all fields are mandatory). Double-check the entered email address: a typo will prevent the confirmation email from being received.
- Confirm by tapping “Let’s go”. An activation email is sent to the provided address.
- Open the messaging app on the tablet, find the Quintonic email, and tap the activation link. Without this activation, the account remains blocked and the platform’s features remain inaccessible.
If the email does not arrive after a few minutes, check the spam folder. On some tablets, email filters are stricter than on computers.
Login and “Remember me” option
After activation, return to quintonic.fr (or tap the previously created shortcut). Tap “Log in”, enter the email address and password, then check the “Remember me” box. This option avoids retyping your credentials on each visit, which is particularly appreciated with a touch keyboard.
Do not check this box if the tablet is shared with other household members. The credentials would remain saved, and anyone could access the account.
Quintonic profile on tablet: what changes compared to a computer
Filling out your profile on a tablet requires the same information as on a computer: photo, introduction, interests, location. The interface adapts to the screen size, but a few particularities are worth noting.
Adding a profile photo can be done directly from the tablet’s gallery or via the built-in camera. On iPad, Safari offers both options as soon as you tap the photo add button. On Android, Chrome opens a file selector that gives access to the gallery and camera.
Writing the personal introduction is often more laborious on a tablet. The auto-correction of the touch keyboard sometimes changes words without warning. Proofreading your introduction before confirming avoids publishing a text distorted by autocorrection.
Searching for outings and activities for seniors on tablet
Navigation through the proposed activities works by geographical area. The search tab allows filtering by city, type of outing, and date. On tablet, the dropdown menus sometimes respond with a slight delay, as the site is not a native app optimized for touch screens.
Quintonic offers a substantial volume of activities each month spread across France. For members looking for local outings, searching by postal code yields more targeted results than searching by city name.
Managing the Quintonic account: password, unsubscription, and security
Account management is done from the “My Account” section, accessible by tapping the profile photo at the top right. On tablet, this area is sometimes small: slightly zooming with a finger spread can help aim for the right button.
In case of a forgotten password, the reset procedure sends a link via email. The same reflex applies: check the spam folder if the email takes a while to arrive.
To delete an account, you must first log in, go to “My Account”, then scroll down to the “My personal info” section where the deletion link is located. Deletion is permanent and the profile data cannot be recovered afterward.
Users of shared tablets in a family setting should always log out after each session. The logout button is in the same menu as “My Account”.
The absence of a dedicated app slightly complicates notification management: Quintonic sends its alerts via email, not through push notifications on the tablet. Regularly checking your email remains the only way to follow invitations to outings and messages from other members.
