Open the app in Chrome, open the browser menu, and choose Install app or Add to Home screen.

Tap the colored avatar in the app to add or switch profiles. Each profile has its own decks, theme, accent, font size, and preferences.

The Import tab offers 50+ optional built-in decks in eight categories, including early learning, math, science and health, language arts, geography and civics, history and culture, and seven world languages.

When an update has downloaded, the app shows A new version is ready. Select Restart and update when convenient. Your locally stored decks and settings remain in place.
