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!

I've been meaning to write this review for a while now. My daughter is newly diagnosed with dyslexia and I heard an interview with Robert on a Newstalk podcast and sought it out. I wasn't sure if I had it installed correctly on her laptop and Robert was on straight away to help. He was amazing. This app has changed everything for my daughter. Everything is accessible to her and everyday tasks and schoolwork are so much easier. She also has visual stress so the coloured overlay feature is a game changer for her. I would highly recommend this app to anyone, she couldn't be without it now!

Brilliant extension! Have tired it for my daughter and she has come on leaps in school. While there are plenty of free features, the paid ones are only 30 USD a year. Can't recommend this enough.

This chrome extension is absolutely amazing. I'm a Primary school teacher and it helps children with a broad range of needs. It's so easy to set up. I love the way it syncs across devices so set up is seamless across all the children's computers. The customizable features are a game changer for allowing children to enjoy reading and accessing the web in our school. The best application I have ever seen for school children. Looking forward to trying the iPad application soon.
