Slow Read

Slow Read on your phone

Add Slow Read to your home screen and it opens like an app: full screen, with its own icon. No app store, nothing to download or update.

You are already using Slow Read as an app.

Slow Read on your home screen, beside your other apps.

Open this page on your phone to install Slow Read there.

iPhone and iPad

  2. Tap Share : at the bottom of the screen on iPhone, at the top on iPad.
  3. Scroll down and tap “Add to Home Screen”.
  4. Keep the name Slow Read and tap “Add”.

  3. Tap “Add to home screen”, then “Install” (or “Install app”).
