Silly request: Any way to try out Dorico for iPad on M1 MacBook?

Dorico
1

As the title says, this is probably a stupid question and there are obvious legal reasons behind this, but…

I noticed that Dorico for iPad (unsurprisingly) is only available on the App Store for the iPad. I happen to own the new M1 MacBook, but I don’t personally have an iPad. I have access to iPads at my college library job, but I would rather not skirt around account privileges and download the app onto them without IT’s permission :sweat_smile:

To be honest, I’m just super curious to try out Dorico on iPad and see how different things are. I’m interested in getting a sense of what Dorico 4 might feel like. This is not at all important and if the answer is no (I’m guessing it probably is), then I completely understand. :slight_smile:

No, I don’t think there’s a way to do that, unless there’s some sort of Apple alchemy I don’t know about.

I couldn’t imagine Steinberg would want a $4 version of Dorico showing up on desktops!

No. It is limited to iPad only.

Steinberg deliberately disabled this for marketing purposes.

Why not just request to have them add dorico to the school iPads? I suspect they would. I teach at a college and I get an email right before each semester begins asking me what software my students need to have access to, so they can make sure it’s available on school equipment.

I already have, actually! Not much progress yet.
