Requirements
We make every effort to ensure that the application works properly on any device, but the following requirements must be met:
- Built-in NFC - proximity connectivity
- Android version 6.0 or higher, iOS version 10.0 or higher, iPhone from the iPhone 7 model
- Android must have google services if we are going to use track and points. Mainly applies to Huawei and Honor.
- Built-in camera
- Built-in GPS (location)
- Internet connection (own SIM card)
Recommended devices
- Recommended increased resistance to falls and humidity
- Thin cases - very thick and reinforced cases often make NFC connectivity difficult, thus confirming the point becomes difficult
- We recommend devices with google services, devices without google services will not be able to display the map
