Your phone
With a Cloud Library, your web app works on your phone like an app. You add it from Safari. There is no app store step.
With On your computer there is no web app for a phone to open yet. The phone app comes later.
Show the QR code
The code is your web app's address. Vox shows it:
- during setup, at the Listen on your phone step;
- afterwards, from Add a phone… in the Vox Liberata menu bar menu;
- or in Settings › Accounts, under Your Library, with Add a phone….
Next to the code, Copy copies the address, so you can send it to yourself instead.
On your iPhone
-
Open the link in Safari
Point your phone's camera at the code and open the link in Safari. If the camera opens it in a small window, tap the compass button to move it to Safari.
-
Sign in
Sign in with your email and your password, then tap Sign in. Use a passkey only once you have added one.
-
Add to Home Screen
In Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
-
Add a passkey
Open Vox from your Home Screen. In Account, tap Add a Passkey, so you can sign in without the password.
On Android, open the link in Chrome, sign in, and choose Add to Home screen from Chrome's menu.
Listen without a connection
In Library, tap a book's download button. When it finishes, Vox says the book is on this phone and checked. It then plays without a connection.
Updates
When a new version is ready, the web app says A new version of Vox is ready. Tap Update. It asks first because updating reloads the app, which would stop a book that is playing. On the sign-in screen it updates by itself.
