To run the vWork mobile app on Android we recommend a mid to high-end Android phone or tablet running Android 7 (Nougat) and above. It must be able to access the Google Play Store and have a SIM card.
- You can check what version of Android your phone is using by opening your settings and searching for the Android version. This is normally found in the About Phone section under the software information.
Note: Android 5 is the current minimum. For future compatibility ensure your device can be upgraded to more recent versions of Android as needed.
- Your device must include GPS and location service capabilities.
- Stick with major manufacturers, and stay away from the absolute budget end of any manufacturer's range. We strongly suggest buying a more recent device (less than two years since its launch), especially if you are working with large job volumes, or complex templates with many custom fields. 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.
- You'll need a Google account that you have signed into on your device. If you have multiple Google accounts attached to your phone, the first one will be used to access the Play Store. You'll need this to download the vWork mobile app and keep it up-to-date.
- If you want the device to sync with the Dispatcher in real time you must also ensure the mobile device is on a mobile plan that includes data.
