By device and platform

Android property inspection app

Android is where device variety actually lives. An inspection app has to work on a budget handset and a flagship tablet without pretending they are the same.

Requires
Android OS 5.0 or above, phone or tablet.
Syncs with
Teammates on iOS 9.3 and above, and the web portal.
Best for
Teams that do not standardise on one handset.

The device decision belongs to the user

zInspector's view is that you should have options when performing inspections, which in practice means letting each person determine the mobile device that works best for them. Some are most comfortable with a smartphone and the smaller the better. Others prefer the larger buttons and display a tablet affords.

Whether you are a tablet user or a smartphone devotee, the Android app is as close as your briefcase, purse or pocket. Nobody has to switch platforms to join a team.

Across the full range of Android hardware

zInspector 3 supports all contemporary operating systems, namely devices running Android OS 5.0 and above alongside iOS 9.3 and above. On a tablet, many users find the experience especially convenient: mobile portability, the familiar design of their own device, and the larger buttons and interface that some prefer and others require.

Optimised, not merely compatible

Most users navigate comfortably on a smaller Android phone, but a larger screen provides extra visibility and surface area that some people need rather than simply enjoy. The experience is optimised for all compatible devices, which is the only sane approach on a platform this varied.

Common questions

Does it work on a Samsung Galaxy tablet?

Yes. Any device running Android 5.0 or above is supported, including Galaxy phones and tablets and the wider range of Android hardware.

Is the Android version behind the iOS one?

No. Both platforms run the same inspection workflow and sync to the same portal, so there is no second-class experience depending on which phone you carry.

Can we run a mixed iOS and Android team?

That is the expected setup. Device choice stays with the individual and the records remain identical and comparable regardless of who captured them.

Use the Android device you already have
