Overview

Custr offers two applications:

  • Custr Check-In App – used on a front-of-house device for visitor and pupil check-in

  • Custr Companion App – used by staff on mobile devices

Both apps serve different purposes and have different levels of support on Android.


Custr Check-In App (Front-of-House Device)

The Custr Check-In app is the main application used on reception or entry-point devices.


Current Availability

  • ✅ Fully supported on iPad (iOS)

  • ⚠️ Available on Android (Beta)

We are currently testing an Android version of the Check-In app, with a full release planned for September 2026.


Android Beta Access

The Android version is not yet available on the Google Play Store.

To access the beta version:

  • Please contact [email protected]

  • Our team will provide access to the latest build (APK download)


Recommended Android Device

Due to differences across Android devices and operating systems, we currently recommend:

👉 Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ (11”)

This is the device we have tested to ensure compatibility and performance.


Android Requirements

If using Android, we recommend:

  • Running the latest available Android OS

  • Using a supported device (such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+)

  • Testing your setup before full deployment


Current Android Limitations

While the Android version is in beta, the following features are not currently supported:

  • RFID / fob scanning

  • Label printing (e.g. Brother printers)

If your setup requires either of these features, we recommend using an iPad, where full functionality is supported.


Important Notes

  • The Android version is currently in beta

  • Some features or performance may differ from the iPad version

  • iPad remains the fully supported and recommended device for production use


Custr Companion App (Staff App)

The Companion App is fully available on both:

  • ✅ iOS

  • ✅ Android

This app allows staff to:

  • Receive notifications

  • Check in and out

  • Pre-register visitors

  • View evacuation lists (permissions dependent)

  • Manage deliveries and items (depending on setup)

The Companion App is fully supported on Android devices.


Recommended Setup

For the best experience:

  • Use an iPad for your main check-in device

  • Use the Companion App on iOS or Android for staff
