Quick answers to common questions about TechGently.
About the Site
Who is TechGently for?
Seniors, retirees, and anyone who finds technology frustrating. If you’ve ever felt talked down to by a tech tutorial, this site is for you. We write in plain English, one step at a time.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to follow your guides?
No. Our guides assume no prior knowledge. We break every step down and explain terms the first time we use them.
Are your recommendations influenced by affiliate commissions?
No. We disclose affiliate relationships on our affiliate disclosure page, and they never affect what we recommend.
Using Our Content
Can I share your guides with a parent or grandparent?
Please do — that’s exactly who they’re for. Link to them, print them out, whatever helps.
How often do you update your guides?
We update guides whenever technology changes (new iPhone versions, changed menus, new scam tactics). Each page carries an “Updated” date.
Can you cover a specific topic I’m stuck on?
Yes. Reach out through our contact page and we’ll do our best to cover it.
