System Requirements
Coworks does not provide tablet hardware, but our apps should work on any iPad or tablet running iOS or Android operating systems. A Chrome or Safari browser is required for ideal function.
Note: Fire tablets are NOT currently supported, as they do not run Android, iOS, or Chrome.
Pro tip: Before setting up your tablet, be sure to go to your settings and turn off the "Auto Lock" or Sleep settings. This will prevent your tablet screen turning off automatically. This app is designed to be always on and available to your customers!
