Using Lookr on Tablets: Layout and Tips
Lookr installs on Android tablets exactly like on phones, and the bigger screen is genuinely nice for video. There is no tablet specific build, but the phone layout stretches sensibly. Here is what to expect and how to set it up well.
Key takeaways: Install the same XAPK, enjoy the bigger player and browsing grid, and use split screen or a stand for the best experience.
Installing on a tablet
Same file, same process: grab the XAPK from the official download page and follow the install walkthrough. Android tablets allow unknown sources the same way phones do.
What the bigger screen improves
Video thumbnails and the trending feed breathe more, search results are easier to scan, and the player is simply more cinematic. For educational videos and tutorials, the tablet is arguably the better device.
Tips for tablet use
Use landscape for watching and portrait for browsing. A cheap stand turns the tablet into a kitchen or desk TV. Downloads shine here: preload videos on Wi-Fi with the downloader and the tablet becomes an offline video player for travel. Manage the collection with our library guide.
