Tablet requirements for the Rooms app

Choose an iPad or Android device that can show meeting room availability at the room door.

Written by Yasen Marinov

If a tablet is too old for the Rooms app, you must buy a replacement tablet for that meeting room door. Compare each tablet with these requirements before you buy it. Then the Rooms app can run on the first tablet that you mount at the door.

The Rooms app shows whether a meeting room is available or occupied. The Rooms app runs on a tablet at the meeting room door.


Which devices do these requirements cover?

The Rooms app runs only on tablets. A phone cannot run the Rooms app. The Rooms app is designed for a tablet screen at a meeting room door.

Other OfficeRnD apps have different device requirements:


Android requirements

An Android tablet can be the right type of device and still be too old or too small for the Rooms app. An Android tablet must meet all of the requirements in the following list:

  • Operating system: Android 7.0 or later.

  • Screen size: 7 inches or larger.

  • Memory: 2 GB of RAM or more. 3 GB of RAM is recommended.

  • Free storage: about 500 MB.

  • A stable internet connection.

The Rooms app gets bookings from OfficeRnD over the internet. A tablet without an internet connection cannot show the meeting room's current status.


iPad requirements

The Android screen size and memory requirements do not apply to an iPad. An iPad must meet all of the requirements in the following list:

  • Operating system: iPadOS 15.1 or later.

  • Free storage: about 500 MB.

  • A stable internet connection.

Note: The App Store listing for OfficeRnD Rooms always shows the current minimum iPadOS version. Open the OfficeRnD Rooms listing on the App Store ↗︎


FAQs

Can I run the Rooms app on a phone?
The Rooms app does not run on a phone. The Rooms app is designed for a tablet at a meeting room door. Members can book a meeting room on their phone in the Members app or the Branded app.

Can I use a tablet that runs an older operating system than the minimum?
OfficeRnD does not support the Rooms app on a tablet running an operating system older than the minimum. Update the tablet's operating system to the minimum version or later. Then the tablet can run the current version of the Rooms app. If the tablet cannot get the update, replace the tablet.

What if a tablet meets every requirement but the Rooms app still doesn't run correctly?
Contact OfficeRnD Support with the tablet model and the operating system version. The Support team uses these 2 details to find the cause of the problem. Android tablets differ between manufacturers, and OfficeRnD cannot test every Android tablet model. Contact OfficeRnD Support ↗︎
