Before a new hire's phone gets handed a route, it helps to know whether the [FieldPulse mobile app](https://www.fieldpulse.com/features/mobile-app) will run on it. This page lists the browsers and device versions FieldPulse supports, the older devices it cannot run on, and what happens to your data when someone switches to a new phone or computer.

## Overview

FieldPulse is a cloud-based platform you can access two ways:

* **Web app** — a browser-based interface for computers. It works in any modern browser; Google Chrome is recommended.

* **Mobile apps** — native iOS and Android apps available on the App Store and Google Play.

Your account syncs across every device you sign in to. Mixed-device teams are fully supported — iPhone, Android, and web app users all share the same workspace.

## Web app browsers

For the best performance, use FieldPulse and Engage in Google Chrome. FieldPulse is also available in Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge, but Google Chrome gives the best results.

## Supported mobile devices

## Switching to a new phone or computer

All FieldPulse data is stored on FieldPulse servers. To use FieldPulse on a new device, download the mobile app or open the web app and log in — your data syncs automatically. You do not need to back up or transfer anything.

## Changing the text size on your device

Text size is a device setting, not a FieldPulse setting. Changing it affects most apps and system screens on the device, including FieldPulse.

### On an iPhone or iPad

1. Open the **Settings** app.

2. Select **Display & Brightness**.

3. Select **Text Size** and adjust the slider.

4. For larger sizes, go back to **Settings**, select **Accessibility**, then **Display & Text Size**, select **Larger Text**, turn on **Larger Accessibility Sizes**, and adjust the slider.

### On an Android device

1. Open **Settings** — pull down the notification shade twice and tap the gear icon, or find **Settings** in your app drawer.

2. Select **Display**, then **Font Size** or **Screen zoom and font** (the name varies by device).

3. Adjust the font size slider.

4. For larger changes, go back to **Settings**, select **Accessibility**, then **Font size** or **Visibility enhancements**, depending on your device.

### In Google Chrome

1. Select the three dots in the upper-right corner of Chrome, then select **Settings**.

2. Scroll to **Appearance** and choose a **Font size** — Small, Medium (recommended), Large, or Very Large — to change the text size on all web pages.

3. For finer control, select **Customize fonts** under **Appearance** to set the size and style of standard, serif, sans-serif, and fixed-width fonts.

4. To scale the whole page, including images and other elements, adjust **Page zoom** in the same **Appearance** section.

## Notes & limitations

* Google Chrome is the recommended browser for FieldPulse and Engage; Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge work but Chrome gives the best results.

* Minimum mobile versions: Android 7.0, iOS 17.4, iPadOS 15.1. A device that cannot update to these is not compatible.

* FieldPulse data is stored on FieldPulse servers. The mobile app caches some records on the device for Offline Mode, and signing in on a new device syncs your records.

* Text size is controlled by the device or browser, not by the FieldPulse web or mobile app.

## FAQs

### What if I get a new phone or computer?

All FieldPulse data is housed on FieldPulse's secure servers, so logging in on a new device syncs it to match your existing records. Download the FieldPulse app on the new mobile device, or log in from your browser on the new computer, and you are up and running.

### Can I increase the font or text size?

Text size is a device-specific setting, not a setting in the FieldPulse web or mobile app. See [Changing the text size on your device](#changing-the-text-size-on-your-device) for the steps on iPhone or iPad, Android, and Google Chrome.
