Get AGNow

Windows

Getting it running

1. Open the zip and copy the AGNow folder somewhere it can stay — your Documents folder is fine. Keep the two files together: agnow.exe needs prism.dll beside it, and that is what speaks to your screen reader.
2. Run agnow.exe and sign in with the same account you use here.
3. Windows may say it does not recognise the program, because it is not signed by a company it has heard of. Choose More info, then Run anyway.

It needs Windows 10 or newer, and nothing else installed. It talks to whichever screen reader you already have running — NVDA, JAWS, Narrator — and falls back to SAPI if none is.

It keeps itself up to date: it checks this server when it starts, downloads a new version in the background, and offers to install it when you are not in the middle of a game. Say no and it installs the next time you open it instead. So this is the only time you have to come here for it.

Mac

Getting it running

1. Open the disk image. It holds AGNow and a shortcut to your Applications folder; drag AGNow onto it.
2. Open AGNow from Applications or Launchpad, and sign in with the same account you use here.

It is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens like any other Mac application: no right-clicking, no warning about an unidentified developer, and nothing to turn off in Security settings.

Speech goes through VoiceOver when VoiceOver is running, and through a voice of its own when it is not.

There is no automatic update yet, so a new version means coming back here for it.

Linux

There is no app for Linux. Play here in your browser instead — the site is the whole thing: the games, voice chat, taking control, replays and saved data, and Orca reads all of it.

There was an app, and it was discontinued on 15 August 2026. If you have it installed it will go on working, and it will not be updated again.

iPhone and iPad

The iOS app is a public beta through TestFlight, Apple's own way of handing out apps before they are on the App Store. Anybody can join — there is no invitation to ask for and no limit on places.

Get AGNow for iPhone and iPad

Getting it running

1. Install Apple's TestFlight app from the App Store on the phone or iPad you want AGNow on.
2. Open the link above on that same device. TestFlight takes it from there and installs AGNow.
3. Open AGNow and sign in with the same account you use here.

It needs iOS 16 or newer, and works the same on an iPad. Speech goes through VoiceOver, and the game screen is a direct-interaction surface, so your gestures reach the game instead of being taken by VoiceOver first.

TestFlight tells you when there is a new version and installs it for you, so this is the only time you have to come here for it.

Android

Getting it running

1. Open this page on the phone or tablet you want AGNow on, and download the package above.
2. Open it. Android will ask whether to allow installing apps from your browser — this is normal for an app that is not from the Play Store, and the permission is for the browser rather than for AGNow.
3. Open AGNow and sign in with the same account you use here.

Speech goes through TalkBack when TalkBack is running, and through a voice of its own when it is not — which is what happens when the screen is off, where an audiogame usually is. AGNow uses whichever synthesiser your phone is set to, not its own choice, and you can pick a different one in its settings.

To play by gesture, turn on AGNow game pad in the phone's accessibility settings. It is what hands your swipes and taps to the game instead of to TalkBack, and only over the pad on the game screen. Everything else in the app works without it.

AGNow checks for a new version when you open it and offers to install it, so this is the only time you have to come here for it.
