When you purchase SIE Kiosk, we recommend that you purchase a new iPad directly from Apple.

We support any iPads that Apple currently supports through their latest iOS. That is, if the iPad is able to download Apple's latest iOS updates, we will support it as well. We cannot guarantee that the app can be installed on iOS versions that Apple no longer actively supports.

Having the latest iOS updates on your iPads ensures that the latest security updates and bug fixes are installed in a timely manner. As part of our focus on data security and performance, we are committed to ensuring that Traction Guest app fully supports the current major iOS version and all of its associated minor versions (eg. The latest version of iOS is 17.5; whereby "17" is the current Major version and "5" is the current Minor version) and we encourage you to upgrade to the latest iOS version.

You can find Apple's list of supported iPads for iOS 17 here: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/ipad/ipad213a25b2/ipados

It does not matter what storage size you choose, so we recommend that you save your money and get the smallest storage size available for the iPad type that you choose.

Traction Guest will work with a 3G iPad (you are responsible for purchasing and maintaining a mobile plan from your local carrier) and each sign-in record consumes roughly 1mb of bandwidth if you are on a metered plan.

iPads can be used wirelessly, or with an adapter available from Apple, can be used on a wired network via Ethernet (See THIS article for more information).
