Topic starter Important security note: NEVER download the Sign-IT app from anywhere except from the Google Play store or this website.
It is easiest to download the app directly from your tablet devices, as this means you won't need to transfer it from another device to the practice tablets. Otherwise, after downloading the following app installer, you will need to transfer the file to your tablet devices manually, via a USB cable plugged into your computer, or using a file transfer app.
Step 1: Download the app
Click the following link to download the most recent version of the Sign-IT app:
Sign-IT: Bridge-IT Companion, download link
Step 2: Install the app
When the app is downloaded, click the downloaded file to install it. You can view recent downloads in the Samsung Internet browser by clicking "Menu" > "Downloads":
Your tablet will display a message indicating that installing unknown apps is blocked by default, for security. As we trust this app, we can allow it for now.
Click "Settings" on the popup and then toggle "Allow from this source" to enabled:
Please note, if you are not using the Samsung default browser and have installed Google Chrome or some other browser, select that instead of the Samsung internet browser when allowing from this source (above).
Click Back on your device to return to the Samsung Internet browser and click on the downloaded app again, to install it:
Step 3: Block unknown apps
This next step is NOT essential, so you may choose to ignore it. However, after the app is installed, for security purposes, it is best to reset the security setting to block unknown apps by default. It shouldn't be necessary if you only use the tablet for the Sign-IT app.
Swipe up from the bottom of the home screen and open the "Settings" app.
Type "unknown" in the search bar, then click "Install unknown apps":
Click "Samsung Internet" and toggle "Allow from this source" to disable it:
Sign-IT: Bridge-IT Companion is installed and you're ready to go!
