How to Unlock Helperbird Pro on iPhone and iPad

Learn how to unlock Helperbird Pro on iOS. Subscribe with your Apple ID in the Helperbird app, or enter a license key from helperbird.com or your school — your upgrade syncs to Safari automatically.

·

The Helperbird app on your iPhone or iPad is where you manage your Pro subscription. You can subscribe with your Apple ID, or enter a license key if you subscribed on helperbird.com or your school gave you one. Either way, the upgrade syncs to the Helperbird extension in Safari automatically.

Open the Helperbird app

  1. Open the Helperbird app from your home screen (the same app you downloaded from the App Store).
  2. On the welcome screen, find the plan card. It shows Free plan if you haven't upgraded yet.
  3. Tap Unlock Pro.

Subscribe with your Apple ID

  1. In the unlock screen, the subscribe button shows the yearly price in your local currency.
  2. Tap Subscribe and confirm with Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password.
  3. That's it — the plan card now shows Helperbird Pro. The next time you use Helperbird in Safari, every Pro feature is unlocked.

Your subscription renews yearly through Apple, and you can cancel anytime in your device settings.

Using Helperbird on other devices too? An Apple subscription unlocks Helperbird in Safari on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac (signed in with the same Apple ID — use Restore Purchases on a new device). If you also use Helperbird on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or a Windows PC, subscribe on helperbird.com instead — that account works on every browser and device, or enter that license key below.

Unlock with a license key

Already subscribed on helperbird.com, or have a key from your school or workplace?

  1. In the unlock screen, scroll to the License key field.
  2. Paste or type your key, then tap Unlock with license key.
  3. Open Safari and use Helperbird once — your key is verified and Pro activates automatically within a moment.

If the key doesn't activate, double-check it for typos, make sure your subscription is active on helperbird.com, or contact support — we answer fast.

Restore Purchases

Got a new device, or reinstalled the app?

  1. Open the Helperbird app and tap Unlock Pro.
  2. Tap Restore Purchases.
  3. Your subscription is found from your Apple ID and Pro switches back on, including in Safari.

Managing your subscription

  • Apple subscriptions are managed in Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your device, where you can renew, cancel, or change payment details.
  • helperbird.com subscriptions are managed from your account on the website.
  • The plan card in the Helperbird app always shows your current status, and the Manage subscription button takes you to the right place.

Schools and organizations: license keys can be rolled out to managed iPads automatically — contact our sales team to set up bulk licensing.

A truly great extension! We installed this on all of our 200 Chromebooks across the 3 special schools i work in and it has greatly helped our students use technology to learn. It not only helps our dyslexic learners, but also our autistic and ADHD students by helping remove distractions and making the web a more accessible place. Support is fast and efficient, and updates are very regular with new features constantly being added!

Immersive Reader from Microsoft is amazing, but my friends in Google districts were missing out until I found Helperbird. Great for proofreading! Simply highlight the text and have it read back to you, change the spacing in your view, highlight parts of speech, even translate by word or by document to have it read to you and adjust the speed! So amazing that I posted a YouTube tutorial within days of installing it. Plus, unlike many extensions, it didn't ask for obnoxious permissions like asking to delete everything in my Google Drive. #Winner #a11y

Helperbird offers a wide range of customization in one easy to navigate spot. Computers and dyslexia don't always mesh, the features like ruler makes reading text heavy web pages easier. Tech support is amazingly responsive should you need any help.
