Get started with Adventure Academy by downloading the app on your preferred device so you can use the program either within the library or in your home (if Home Access is offered by your library). This guide walks you through the process of downloading and installing Adventure Academy on iOS, Android, and Windows devices. Whether you're a new user or need help finding the right version, this article provides step-by-step instructions to ensure a smooth setup.
Downloading the Adventure Academy app is a quick and easy process, and it offers several benefits over a browser experience, including:
- A completely safe and secure environment for children, as there are no other browser links present that might lead kids away from the program to other websites
- A convenient link right on your desktop that will open Adventure Academy with just one click
- Faster loading speeds throughout the product, as many assets are already pre-downloaded within the application
We will walk you through the simple process of downloading the app onto your computer.
