Main differences from the iOS app
ServiceM8 for Android supports most of the same workflows as the iOS app. The main differences are:
- Room Scan and AR: Room Scan capture, 3D viewing, and AR measurement are not available on Android.
- Diagrams: You can annotate photos on Android, but drawing diagrams is not available.
- PDF editing and filling: Editing or filling PDFs from attachment previews is not available. You can still view PDFs and use separate signature workflows.
- Camera tagging: Android has a voice-to-tag action, but it does not have the full automatic and in-camera tagging behaviour of the iOS app.
Minimum requirements
To run the ServiceM8 Android app smoothly, your Android device must meet the following requirements:
- Operating system: Android 8.0 or higher
- Regular Updates: Keep both the app and your device’s operating system up to date for optimal performance.
Tap to Pay on Android
You can accept contactless payments directly on an eligible Android phone when Tap to Pay has already been activated for your account. The initial account activation workflow is not available in the Android app.
Tap to Pay requires Android 13 or later, NFC, and a phone that meets Stripe’s supported-device and security requirements. A phone that can run ServiceM8 does not necessarily support Tap to Pay.
