Install from your account menu
- Sign in to MyBibliotheca in the browser on the phone or tablet where you want the app.
- Tap your initial in the top-right corner.
- On Android, choose Get it on Google Play. On iPhone or iPad, choose Install app for setup instructions.
Keep in mind: The Android app opens in Google Play. The iPhone and iPad Home Screen instructions are available in supported browsers.
On Android
- Open the MyBibliotheca listing in Google Play, or tap your initial in the website and choose Get it on Google Play.
- Tap Install on the Google Play listing.
- Open MyBibliotheca and sign in with your existing account.
On iPhone or iPad
- Open MyBibliotheca in Safari and sign in.
- Tap your initial and choose Install app to see the instructions for your device.
- Tap Safari’s Share button, then choose Add to Home Screen.
- Confirm the name and tap Add.
Keep in mind: Apple requires Home Screen web apps to be added through the browser’s Share menu; a website cannot open the final iOS installation prompt itself.
Open and remove the app
After installation, open MyBibliotheca from its icon on your Home Screen or app drawer. It uses your existing account and opens in its own app-like window. Your saved library and current reads are available offline after the app has downloaded them, and changes sync when you reconnect.
To remove it on Android, touch and hold the icon and choose Uninstall or Remove. On iPhone or iPad, touch and hold the icon, choose Remove App, then Delete App. Removing the icon does not delete your MyBibliotheca account or library.
If Install app does not appear
- Make sure you are using a normal browser tab rather than private or incognito browsing.
- Reload the page while connected to the internet, then open the initials menu again.
- On iPhone or iPad, use Safari. Some other iOS browsers do not expose Add to Home Screen.
- If the app is already installed, look for the MyBibliotheca icon on your Home Screen or in your app library.
