Instructions for using Labster on your iPad

Updated over a month ago

To play Labtser simulations on your iPad, you need to download the Labster app for iPads.

Our app is designed to optimize simulation play for iPad users. See if your device is compatible.

NOTES:

  • Labster is not currently supported on iPhones or other smartphones.

  • Educators/teachers should continue using my.labster.com or their Learning Management System (LMS) to create and manage courses and access Labster’s simulations.

Most Labster simulations are currently playable on the iPad app. Instructors can see if a simulation is compatible by looking for the Apple symbol next to the simulation name.

Instructions on using the App

If you plan to play Labster simulations on an iPad, follow these 3 steps below:

STEP 1: Download the app on your iPad

Visit the Apple App Store, search for Labster, and then download the Labster iPad app. Or you can click here to download.

STEP 2: Log in to your LMS account or Labster account

  • If you are accessing Labster through our Course Manager (my.labster.com), all you need to do is open the Labster app and log in directly through the app, using your email address and password. Once you've logged in, you can follow these steps to navigate and access Labster simulations.

  • If you are accessing Labster through a Learning Management System (Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, Moodle, etc.), you will need to follow these steps:

    1. Open Google Chrome on your iPad
