Helpful Advice:

• We strongly recommend Android devices because they are easy to setup and they come with Google Chrome already installed (for PurpleCloud to work successfully, you must use Google Chrome browser only).
• Despite our suggestions, always be sure to test devices in your own wireless environment. Speed and having a consistent connection are highly dependent on your wireless network.
