Minimum requirements

Learn if your iPad or Android device will work with ELSA apps

We are often asked questions, such as:

  • What iPads or tablets should I buy for use with the ELSA Program?
  • What are the minimum requirements of tablets for use with ELSA apps?
  • What brands of tablets work with the ELSA apps?
  • Do I need a Wi-Fi connection for the apps to work?

Here is our recommended list of devices that are 100% compatible with all aspects of the ELSA Program.

Note: the vast majority of other tablet devices not listed here will also work with all aspects of the program except for our two augmented reality (AR) app activities. An example of an AR activity is shown in the image of the kangaroo.

Wi-Fi

You will also require a Wi-Fi connection for the ELSA Educator app to work. ELSA children’s apps only need to be connected to Wi-Fi intermittently, in order to pass children’s activity and achievements data to the Educator app where educators can see and review any content created by children.
