This article will give you an guide to how to display Today+ on an iPad, iPad Mini, and iPad Pro.
1. Download the AskCody Signage App

*The app named "AskCody" is an older version
2. Sign out off App Store

5. Setup Guided Access (optional)
Using Guided Access you limit the iPad to only view a single app (Today+). This will create a lockdown of the iPad while only displaying the Today+, so nobody can access the functions of the iPad unless you have a password. We recommend that you activate Guided Access.

In the AskCody Manager, you can find the Today+ license Key. Find your license key here.

7. Activate Guided Access (optional)
