Accessing Kami on Mobile Devices and Tablets

iOS

There is no specific Kami iOS app, so logging into Kami using the web browser is how to access Kami on these devices

To access Kami on an iPad or iPhone:

  1. Go to kami.app in your Chrome app.

  2. Click Sign in and log in using your school email account details.

  3. Open any documents into Kami using the Open from Drive, Kami Library, any files assigned via your LMS or Open from Computer options.

Once your file has loaded up in Kami you can make full use of the toolbar, with some notable exceptions. You will not be able to use:

  • Comment Tool - Screen Capture

All other tools will function as normal and edits to docs will be synced to your Google Drive or OneDrive.

However, you can grade and give your feedback from an iPad device. We recommend using the iOS app for your LMS. For example, the Google Classroom iOS app shown below. You will be able to use Class View and all the feedback tools, except the Screen-Capture Comment tool, on your iPad.

To access Kami on an Android device:

Use the Chrome Browser / app- installed onto your device ( we recommend using the latest version)

  • Optional: Google Drive and Google Classroom apps

  • Optional: Kami PWA installation onto your device


    This Progressive Web Application (PWA) option for Kami isn't a stand-alone Android app, but it will allow you to access the Kami tools directly from your home screen. 

    To do this, go to kami.app on the Chrome app on your Android device, go to the hamburger icon on the top-right. Then select 'Desktop site'
