Setting up Helperbird for your child using Family Sharing is straightforward. You'll need to temporarily turn off Screen Time restrictions, install the app, and then turn those restrictions back on. Here's how to do it.


Step 1: Turn off Screen Time Restrictions

Open the Settings app on your child's iOS device. Scroll down and tap Screen Time. If you've set a Screen Time Passcode, enter it now. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions, then toggle the switch to turn it off. This temporarily removes restrictions so you can install Helperbird.


Step 2: Download and Install Helperbird

Open the App Store on your child's device and tap the search icon at the bottom. Type "Helperbird" in the search bar and tap Search. Find the Helperbird app (look for the blue bird icon) and tap Get. You may need to enter your Apple ID password or use Touch ID/Face ID to confirm the download. Wait for the app to finish installing.


Step 3: Enable Helperbird and Restore Screen Time

Once installed, go back to the Settings app and scroll down to find Helperbird. Tap on it and make sure all options under Allow Helperbird to Access are toggled on.

Now it's time to turn Screen Time back on. Go to Settings > Screen Time, enter your passcode, then tap Content & Privacy Restrictions and toggle the switch back on. Your child can now use Helperbird with your Screen Time settings restored.

Tip: Make sure to test Helperbird with your child after setup to ensure all features are working properly while Screen Time is active!

Amazing Extensions in chrome. I Installed in my parents computer, because my dad have a poor vision, due to bad eye surgery. this extension really helps to have able to manipulate the font and font size for more comfortable use instead of chrome zoom feature. Because the chrome zoom feature is its overly zoom will cause the page looking super weird.

It's easy to use with every webpage since it's just an extension. You can access lots of different functions to declutter a page (show only the relevant text and not ads, for example). You can add post it notes to annotate, and it has things like text-to-speech.

Helperbird is one of the most helpful tools I've ever used. It has so many great features that not many other apps or software have. The free version can be installed and stay forever on your browser. Other companies don't always give you access for free or give access for free forever. When you do get access to the Pro version or other paid plans, you expand your opportunity to read and stay focused better. One of the other great things about Helperbird is their support service. They have a video for every single feature that you can use. They are simple and helpful videos that make the learning process a lot easier. In addition, they have great live chat support. They are super nice and helpful. They always encourage people to give suggestions on how to improve Helperbird. Why is this important? It shows they really care about people with disabilities or people in general.

I have been trying to find ways to make my child happy to go to school again, and someone recommended helperbird. She loves helperbird, and she is now much happier about the idea of returning to school. I think this might be a game changer, as they do so much web based schoolwork and research. She says they really understand people with dyslexia
