The four (4) white panels link to your Library in your online Scrible® account as well as external online resources to help you get started with Scrible® for iPad and use Scrible® in general. That said, if you do tap on the Scrible® Extension App icon on your home screen, it’ll display the following app screen: Scrible® Extension App Screen With Scrible® for iPad, your work happens not in the app, but in Safari, where you curate/annotate articles and work in your online Scrible® account. In this case, the Scrible® Extension App is more of a placeholder than an app you actually work in. On the iPad, browser extensions are installed as apps, but they aren’t classic, full-fledged iPad apps. When you install the Scrible® Extension, this App icon appears on your iPad’s home screen: This online web application (“web app”) has also been optimized for touch interactions and for the iPad screen size in both portrait and landscape orientations. The website is the same one you sign into on a laptop/desktop at in order to access your Scrible® account and all of its features, including My Library. When you use the Extension, the Scrible® Toolbar and Sidebars that appear over the articles are optimized for touch interactions and for the iPad screen size in both portrait and landscape orientations. You can install this Scrible® Extension for iOS from the App Store and use it as you would our existing Chrome or Edge browser extensions on a laptop/desktop to curate and annotate online webpages and PDFs. The browser extension is for the iOS/mobile version of Safari.

Like the existing version of Scrible for desktops/laptops, it consists of a browser extension and a website. It is not a classic, full-fledged iOS app, which would house all of Scrible® in a locally installed app on your iPad.

Scrible® for iPad is an iPad-friendly version of Scrible®. We’re excited to unveil Scrible® for iPad! Our friends using iPads have been requesting Scrible® for their devices, and we’re happy to announce its launch! Scrible® is the most advanced research and writing platform ever built, and it’s now available for iPad users.
