Install Readlang on your iPhone, iPad or Android home screen

How To
1

Readlang can be installed to your home screen just your other apps. Here’s how:

iPhone and iPad

  1. Open Safari
  2. Browse to https://readlang.com
  3. Tap the “Share” button - the square with an arrow coming out of the top, to the left of the address bar.
  4. Choose “Add to Home Screen”
  5. Name it “Readlang”

Android

  1. Open Chrome
  2. Browse to http://readlang.com
  3. Open the menu (three vertical dots) and select “Add to home screen”
  4. Name it “Readlang”

There you have it. Readlang is now installed to your home screen and will work full screen without the annoying address bar, just like your other iOS or Android apps. Perfect for distraction free reading!

Following these steps and clicking the icon just opens readlang in a tab for me.
Running tab s9+ with the latest version of chrome.

Edit: solved! Just had to turn off adguard first

Hi, just purchased the subscription but still having serious troubles. On kindle webpage the readlang reader (code + bookmark installed) appears but when I underscore words it doesn’t change anything and nothing happens. Moreover I tried the “add to screen” technique but nothing literally nothing happens I mean how I’m supposed to resort to readlang in that way?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Are you attempting to use Readlang on a Kindle device? This isn’t something I recommend since I don’t test Readlang on Kindle but some users have had success: Readlang on newer Kindles - #4 by Vince_L. If you are trying it on Kindle and it’s not working for you please contact me steve@readlang.com and I can issue a refund if you want.

no I’m just using it on kindle as a webpage on safari, I can only see readlang but every word that I underscore is underscored with kindle entries. I momentarily solved the problem downloading the non copyrighted version of the epub but I’d like to know if a solution to this problem could be found, like underscoring with readlang entries a kindle webpage on safari for iphone.

Are you talking about using the Readlang Chrome extension or bookmarklet on the Kindle cloud reader at https://read.amazon.com/?

This is unlikely to work well since the Readlang web reader extension will only translate words which were present on the web page at the moment when you loaded the extension. If you click to turn a page on the Kindle webapp the words on the next page are unlikely to work with Readlang.

Please let me know if I’m still misunderstanding you.
