Do you have a short IT checklist for our school IT team that we can use to deploy ReadingDoctor Online?

Here is a short IT checklist your school team can use to deploy ReadingDoctor® Online.

1) Network allowlist (required)

• Allow HTTPS access to *.readingdoctor.com.
• At minimum, confirm these load without filtering/SSL inspection issues:
  https://login.readingdoctor.com
  https://dashboard.readingdoctor.com
  https://games.readingdoctor.com
• If your firewall/content filter uses SSL inspection, add exceptions for these domains if login or activity loading is delayed/failing.

2) iPad deployment checks (MDM + VPP)

• Deploy the ReadingDoctor® Online iPad app via Apple VPP/MDM as a managed app.
• Use device-based assignment (preferred), not user-based assignment.
• Confirm VPP token is active/synced and licences are available.
• Enable automatic app install on supervised devices.
• If test devices previously installed the app manually, remove that copy, then reinstall via MDM managed deployment.
• No individual student Apple ID purchase is required for school trial/subscription access.

3) First-login test steps (quick validation)

1. On one test iPad, open the app and log in with a known student username/password.
2. Confirm student activities open and audio plays clearly.
3. On a desktop/laptop, open https://dashboard.readingdoctor.com and log in with admin/teacher details.
4. Confirm class/student records are visible in Dashboard.
5. Run one activity for 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring it has been completed, then recheck Dashboard/reporting to confirm usage data appears.

4) If something fails

• Capture screenshots of the exact error prompt.
• Record device model, iPadOS version, MDM platform, time of test, and affected username.
• Retest the same login on an alternate network (for example hotspot) to quickly isolate filtering/firewall issues.
