This workshop welcomes iOS (iPhone) and Android users. However, it does have a specific bias towards iOS and iPhone users given the compatibility of apps used within the course. The iPhone 6 is required as a minimum, and Android smartphones must be no more than 3 years old.
We’ll require confirmation of the smartphone device you intend to use before the start of the course.
