Tablet For staff

[ajd132]

Got some yara points to spend and need to get a couple tablets for the farm.
I was thinking just a standard Amazon fire, cheap and the kids ones seem okay. Cheap to replace if break.
Just need it to pair with a phone 4g signal and run Greenlight grower for application records on the web browser and excel/Dropbox which I think are both available on it?
iPads are lovely but I think it’s overkill for this situation.
Any thoughts?

Greenlight app is sh!t.

Lost all my application data twice cause it wouldn't sync.

Agronomist says they run it through browser too.

I got a couple of Amazon Fire tablets for the kids and whilst they started fine, they quickly slowed down.
They don’t have much memory either.
Also, you can’t use the Google Play store, it has to go through the Amazon App Store which is limited and I doubt Greenlight will be on there

Last time I looked Greenlight only worked on IOS. I run it from my Iphone, not had any problems with it

Bg

Check compatibility with the apps you want to use but Amazon stuff is not too great. Cheap but built that way imo.

Better with a diary and pen. I have a tablet for the few days that I drive a lorry, and it is the cause of almost all disagreements.

What is the quantum apocalypse and should we be scared?

Security experts say a quantum computing leap could crack open all our secrets - so should we worry?

Thanks for replies, Greenlight app is shite so I use the browser on everything.

And Those suggesting we use pen and paper, absolutely not, I want to save myself hours of time a week not inputting/making up data.

The downside of pen and paper is it doesnt have spell check ,,youll be hours trying to decipher the bad spelling and illegible scribbling

Don't you mean the bod smelling and ineligible scrabbling

Don't know the price on one but that would be the one for me. There super powerful in something slightly bigger than an tablet.

We have a couple of Samsung tablets. They were about £130 at the time.

I’m pretty sure they have paid for themselves in paper and ink savings alone, before you even start on the time and hassle of entering paper records into the computer.

They vary in how powerful they are but I have a surface pro 7 and I'm dead pleased with it. Of course you can get a keyboard and pen (these are all 'optional extras' unfortunately) but it works well without it.

You can add the Google play store. Works quite nicely on mine.
