Cookie Tutoring is a web app, so the same thing runs in a browser tab and as an installed app on an iPhone, an Android phone, a Mac, a Windows PC or a Chromebook. There is nothing to get from an app store: your browser installs it from this site in a few seconds, and it updates itself.
Install Cookie Tutoring
Pick your phone or browser below for the steps.
Or use it in your browser
You don't have to install anything. Cookie Tutoring works the same in a browser tab on any phone or computer, so you can go to tutoring.cookie.education, sign in and carry on. Installing it only gives it its own icon and window, which some people find quicker to get back to, and on an iPhone or iPad it is the one way to get notifications.
How to install it
iPhone and iPad
Open tutoring.cookie.education in Safari.
Tap the Share button, the square with an arrow pointing up. On an iPhone it is at the bottom of the screen, on an iPad at the top.
Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen. If you see Open as Web App, leave it on, then tap Add.
Cookie Tutoring is now on your Home Screen. Notifications on an iPhone or iPad only work from there, so this is the way to get them.
Chrome and other browsers on an iPhone have Add to Home Screen too, under the Share button in the address bar.
Android
Open tutoring.cookie.education in Chrome.
Tap the menu, the three dots at the top right, then Add to Home screen or Install app, then Install.
In Samsung Internet, tap the menu at the bottom, then Add page to, then Home screen.
Chrome on Windows, Mac, Linux or a Chromebook
Open tutoring.cookie.education in Chrome.
Click the install icon at the right-hand end of the address bar, a screen with an arrow pointing down.
If it isn't there, open the menu (the three dots), then Cast, save and share, then Install page as app.
Cookie Tutoring opens in its own window, and you can keep it in the Dock, the taskbar or the Start menu like any other app.
Microsoft Edge
Open tutoring.cookie.education in Edge.
Open the menu (the three dots at the top right), then Apps, then Install this site as an app.
Safari on a Mac
Open tutoring.cookie.education in Safari. You need macOS Sonoma or later.
Choose File in the menu bar, then Add to Dock, then Add.
Cookie Tutoring is then in the Dock and in your Applications folder, and opens in its own window.
Firefox
Recent versions of Firefox on Windows can add a site to the taskbar as an app, from the icon at the right-hand end of the address bar.
Firefox on a Mac or Linux can't install sites as apps, so use Chrome, Edge or Safari for that, or carry on in a Firefox tab, which works just the same.
Without a connection
If you lose your connection, Cookie Tutoring shows a page saying so rather than the browser's error, and goes back to what you were opening as soon as you're online again.
With "Work offline on this device" on (it is on in the installed app), your lessons for the next 30 days and your recent messages are kept on the device to read, and a reply you write offline is sent when you are back.
A lesson's whiteboard is kept on the device as it is drawn, so a dropped connection or a closed tab can bring it back, and a tutor can prepare a board before a lesson, offline too.
Lessons and booking need a connection, because they happen live between you and the other person. Your lessons can also go into your own calendar from the Calendar page, so you can see when they are without opening Cookie Tutoring.
