How do I use Literably on an iPad? Follow

Answer: The Literably iPad app is available in the App Store. iOS 12.0 or higher is required. 

If students are using an iPad, they MUST download and use the Literably app.  On an iPad, iOS browsers such as iOS Chome or iOS Safari are not compatible with Literably.  This is because those iOS browsers do not allow Literably to record students' audio recordings when they assess.  

iOS 12.0 is compatible with these devices:

  • iPad
    • 5th, 6th, and 7th generation
  • iPad Mini
    • iPad Mini 2, 3, 4, and 5th generation
  • iPad Air
    • Original iPad Air, iPad Air 2, and iPad Air (2019)
  • iPad Pro 
    • 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation

Important: On the newest version of the Literably app (1.2.2), Literably will work on iPads in Dark and Light Mode. On older versions of the Literably app (before version 1.2.2), Literably will not work on iPads in Dark Mode.

Below are instructions on how to update your iPad to "Light Mode," if needed. 

Directions: On an iPad, students can go to: Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Update to "Light Mode" 

 

The iPad app only contains the student side of Literably; there is no teacher login on the app. To review graded assessments, track student progress over time, or look at your class dashboard, teachers must still log in on the web at https://literably.com, which you can access on any device.
