Pass Pass installs straight from this page — no Play Store, no App Store, no account. It takes about as much data as opening one web page, and once it is on the home screen it opens like any other app and the lessons work with the data switched off.
Tap passpass.school/app. It opens immediately — there is nothing to download first.
Pim and Pop ask you once, right under the big blue button. On most Android phones and on a computer that is the whole job: one tap, and Pass Pass has its own icon.
No browser bar, no re-typing the address, no internet needed for the lessons, quizzes and past papers.
If you do not see the “Install now” button, your browser wants to do it its own way. The steps for each one are below — they are all short.
Open the app, tap the ⋮ menu at the top-right of the browser, then tap Install app (some phones say Add to Home screen) and confirm. Samsung Internet keeps the same option behind the ≡ button at the bottom right, under Add page to → Home screen.
You must use Safari — Apple does not let Chrome or Firefox add apps to the home screen. Open the app in Safari, tap the Share button (the square with an arrow, at the bottom of the screen), scroll down the list, tap Add to Home Screen, then tap Add.
In Chrome or Edge, open the app and click the small install icon at the right-hand end of the address bar — or use the ⋮ menu → Cast, save and share → Install page as app. Pass Pass then opens in its own window, with no browser tabs around it, which is what a class of pupils sharing one laptop wants.
Two usual reasons. First, the app is already installed — check your home screen and your app drawer for the Pass Pass icon before installing it twice. Second, you are inside another app's browser (the one that opens when you tap a link in WhatsApp or Facebook), which cannot install anything: tap its ⋮ menu and choose Open in browser first, then try again.
Because this way is better for the families we build for. A Play Store app is a 30–60 MB download, needs a Google account, and updates cost data again every time. Pass Pass installs in seconds from the browser, needs no account at all, and updates itself quietly the next time there is a connection. A Play Store listing will come later for the parents who look there first — it will be the same app.
It is safer than a store download, not less: nothing is installed on your phone that could run on its own. It is the website itself, saved to your home screen, locked to this one address. It asks for no permissions except the camera, and only when a child taps “Scan my notes”. There are no ads and no trackers in a children's app — not now, not ever.
A few megabytes the first time — roughly one photo sent on WhatsApp — and then almost nothing. Lessons, quizzes and past papers are stored on the phone and work with data switched off entirely. Only the two AI helpers (the tutor and the notes scanner) need a connection, and only while they are being used.
Yes — that is the assumption the whole app is built on. Each child gets their own name, buddy, stars and streak on the same handset, and nobody's progress overwrites anybody else's.
Removing the icon leaves the child's work on the phone in most browsers, and re-installing picks it up again. Clearing the browser's storage does erase it, so treat it the way you would any other app's data.
