Naming convention for Web Apps added via the Add to Home Screen on iOS or Android?

I am developing a Web App with Rails which I am then adding via the Add to Home Screen option (and testing in Simulator via Xcode).

What we call such apps in my workplace is (Home Screen App Mode) 'HSAM' (in what we see as the absence of any naming convention for this particular scenario).

What I essentially want to know is, is there a naming convention to describe Web Apps built to such an end?

Possibilities I have found include:

- 'Shortcut'
- 'Non-native'
- 'Homescreen'
- 'Add to Home Screen'

None of the above keywords seem to pinpoint results of what I am looking for when I am attempting to debug issues specific to this format.

Is there a naming convention? If so, what is the accepted term for these specific apps?
