Suitable mobile devices
vWork can be used on iOS or Android mobile devices - either phone or tablet.
For both iOS and Android, we recommend the mobile device:
- Is mid to high-end with a SIM card. Stay away from the absolute budget end of any manufacturer's range. If the manufacturer lists it on the front page of their website or positions it as a mid to high-range device, it'll probably be good.
- On a mobile plan that includes data. This will enable your mobile workers to sync their mobile app data with the vWork server and ensure the dispatcher has the most up-to-date job information.
- A recent-generation device (launched less than two years ago), especially if you are working with large job volumes or complex templates with lots of custom fields. Running the vWork mobile app on older devices may result in slower performance.
- Includes GPS and location service capabilities.
- Is from a recognized manufacturer/brand (Android devices).
- Can be upgraded to more recent versions of the iOS and Android operating system as needed for future compatibility. We support recent versions of both iOS and Android mobile operating systems. Please ensure your device uses the iOS or Android operating systems specified in the next sections of this article.
