You are already using the app. Nothing more to do.

Is it a real app?
It is the Uplift site in its own window, the way many big services work on phones now. It looks and opens like an app, but there is nothing to approve in a store, and it never needs updating by hand.
Does it cost anything?
No. It is the same account and the same plan as the website.
How do I remove it?
Press and hold the icon and choose Remove (on a laptop, open it and use the menu at the top right to uninstall). Your account and your child’s work are untouched.
Can my child have it on their own tablet?
Yes. Add it on their device the same way and sign in with their own username: they get their own dashboard, in their colour.
