Tablet Requirements
You need at least one tablet meeting the requirements detailed below to use NexEvents. You can set up several tablets with NexEvents if you want to allow event check-in/outs in multiple areas of your space.
For the best experience, choose consumer tablets (not enterprise or kiosk models) from established brands with access to the App Store or Google Play.
We recommend tablets under 5 years old to ensure they continue receiving regular OS updates that keep our app running smoothly. See the detailed requirements below.
| Screen size | WiFi | Bluetooth | OS version |
|---|---|---|---|
9 to 12 inches for optimal display (7 inches minimum) |
Tablets must be able to connect to WiFi. | Tablets must support Bluetooth 4.0 (also known as BLE) or above. | iPadOS - Version 15.6 or later Android - Version 12 or up |
Try to find a balance between the tablet requirements and your budget. Newer tablets cost more upfront but support the latest OS for longer. Older or refurbished models can be a more affordable starting point, just keep in mind they may need replacing sooner.

FAQ
Why can't I add last minute attendees on the fly?
Your events need to include a free ticket to allow last minute registrations. This is due to the fact that the app is designed for check-in and not a point of sale. You can, however, let customers scan the QR code available on the app to purchase a ticket via your Members Portal.
Can I remove one of the modes?
No, you cannot remove either of the modes. You won't be prompted to pick a mode again unless you fully close the app and reopen it.
