Troubleshooting
I don't see the install option
Make sure you're using a supported browser — Chrome on Android, Chrome or Edge on desktop. Some browsers do not support installing web apps. On iPhone and iPad, download the app from the App Store instead.
Does the app work offline?
Parallel Arabic requires an internet connection to function. The app caches static assets for faster loading, but you'll need internet access to access lessons, stories, and other content.
