Using Cathoven on phone, tablet and computer

“Can I study with Cathoven on my laptop/desktop or do I have to use my phone? Will I lose progress if I switch devices?”

You can use Cathoven IELTS on a computer, phone, or tablet.

Your account, scores, and Premium plan are the same on all devices – you just need to log in with the same email / login method.

1. Using Cathoven on a computer (laptop / desktop)

For the best experience, we recommend using a computer when possible, especially for:

• Long writing tasks (Task 1 & Task 2)
• Mock tests
• Checking detailed feedback and history

On a computer:

• Open a modern browser (for example: Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox).
• Go to the Cathoven IELTS site and log in.
• Make sure your browser is up to date and that you have a stable internet connection.

For speaking tasks:

• Check that your microphone is connected and working.
• When the browser asks for permission to use the mic, click “Allow”.

2. Using Cathoven on a phone or tablet

You can also use Cathoven on a mobile phone or tablet.

• Open a modern browser on your device (for example: Chrome or Safari).
• Go to the Cathoven IELTS site and log in with the same account.

On mobile/tablet:

• Speaking tasks work well because you can speak directly into the device’s microphone.
• For long writing tasks, a computer or tablet with a keyboard is usually more comfortable, but you can still type on your phone if you prefer.

Make sure:

• Your browser is up to date.
• You have a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi is usually better than mobile data for longer sessions).
• You allow microphone access when starting a speaking task.

3. Switching between devices

You can switch between devices at any time:

• Start on your computer,
• Continue later on your phone or tablet,

as long as you log in with the same account. Your:

• Scores,
• Feedback, and
• Premium status

stay the same everywhere.

4. If something doesn’t work on a device

If a feature is not working correctly on a specific device (for example, speaking doesn’t start, page layout looks broken, or buttons are not visible), you can try:

1. Refreshing the page
2. Closing and reopening the browser
3. Updating your browser to the latest version
4. Trying a different browser (for example, Chrome instead of an older default browser)
5. Testing on another device (computer vs phone)

If it still doesn’t work after that, please create a support ticket and include:

• Which device you’re using (computer / phone / tablet)
• Which browser and version (if you know it)
• What exactly you were trying to do (writing, speaking, mock test, etc.)
• A short description or screenshot of the problem

So we can help you and improve the experience on that device.
