You CAN run your favourite websites on iPad

Posted by 14 on the 12th December, 2013

Have you tried running your favourite websites on your iPad and then been devastated to find that they won't work?

I did - HelpKidzLearn  is a vital day by day necessity, as is Doorway Online.

They don't run on iPad, seemingly because these are Flash based websites, and iPads don't talk to Flash.

However, it seems 'zere are ways of making zem talk'.....

Well, maybe you guys all know this already, but I didn't, until my colleague Sandra told me! 

Go to the App store and get Rover - the Browser for Education (apparently free).

Then when it opens, go to the supermarket trolley at the top right of the screen and buy the £2.99 Upgrade.

(Without this paid upgrade, you will just get a message to say 'Website is blocked' when you try to open your site.)

Now type in the URL of the site you want to access in the browser window, Go / Search - and there you are!

Happy Bunny! 

P.S. it only works when you have a good WiFi connection, of course.
