ServiceM8 on Android
Does ServiceM8 work on Android?
Not fully. ServiceM8's full app is iOS-only. Android users get ServiceM8 Lite, a limited version with basic functions only. To run the complete ServiceM8 app you need an iPhone or iPad. If your crew is on Android, you only get the cut-down app.
What does that mean for your crew?
Plenty of trade businesses run a mix of phones. If even one tech is on Android, they are stuck with ServiceM8 Lite while the iPhone users get the full app. That split makes for an uneven team and workarounds you should not need.
| Platform | ServiceM8 | Leadhand |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone / iPad | Full app | Full app |
| Android phone / tablet | Lite app - basic functions only | Native app - same core field workflow as iOS |
| Office / web | Yes | Yes |

Leadhand: a full native app on Android
Leadhand is built for Australian tradies as a full native field app for Android and iPhone, not a Lite version. Both apps cover the core field workflow and are available now on the App Store and Google Play. Every tech sees the day's jobs, drops photos straight onto the job, fills in site checklists and builds quotes on the spot, whatever phone they carry. Broader setup and reporting live in the web app, and there is a free plan.
