Device questions.
Yes, through the web app. Open app.silentstudent.com in the browser on your iPhone or Android phone. The agent’s browser runs on our servers, and your phone shows it live.
Maybe not. School-managed devices and networks may block the web app, and they may stop you from installing the desktop app. A device you own works best.
No. One Silent Student account and plan works on all your devices, in both the desktop app and the web app.
In the web app, yes. Your chat belongs to your account, so you can sign in on another device and see it there. Each account runs one cloud browser at a time.
An up-to-date browser such as Chrome, Safari or Edge, with JavaScript turned on.
No. On an iPad, iPhone or Android device, use the web app in your browser. The desktop app is for Mac and Windows.
Start on the device in your hand.
