Using MyLifeBook on your phone
You use MyLifeBook right in your phone's browser, with no app store install. Add an icon to your home screen and it opens in one tap, like an app. Taking photos and writing short notes is easier on a phone; polishing your book, PDFs and sharing are easier on a computer.
When you are done, you can open it from the icon on your phone's home screen and save stories right away.
What you need
- A smartphone (Chrome on Android, Safari on iPhone)
- You are logged in — Sign up and log in
1. Add the app to your home screen
- Open mylifebook.kr on your phone. You will see an "Add the app to your smartphone home screen" bar at the very top.
- Tap Add app (1).
- Android: when the install window appears, tap Install and you are done.
- iPhone: an instruction window appears. Tap the Share button at the bottom of Safari (a square with an arrow) → Add to Home Screen → Add at the top right.
TipTap ✕ on the right of the bar to hide it for 7 days. The bar does not appear on the Read book screen, so it does not cover what you are reading.
2. The bottom menu and the + button
You move around with the 5 tabs of the bottom menu (Home · Timeline · + · Timegraph · Read book) — Get to know the home screen and menus. Tap + in the middle to open the window for writing a story in your current book right away.
- Create Event: write a story on your current book's timeline. On a phone, the story window has two steps (Core Info → Content & Photos) — Write in the story window
