Hi Eugeune,

Welcome to the A360 feedback forums. It's really a personal preference on what device you get. I use both Android and Apple and really like both of them. I tend to use my iPAD the most. But that is my personal preference. Our apps run great on both and so it may come down to features and price for you.

Others should jump in as well to share there thoughts and experiences with you.

You might want to add what desktop applications you are currently using as well. That might also be helpful in getting you pointed at the right devices and even the right apps. For example if you are using AutoCAD, you can use A360 Mobile for viewing and collaboration with others. You can also use the A360 WEB Site as well. These are for viewing and commenting as well as collaborating with others.

There is also AutoCAD 360 and it's an editor that you can use on the WEB as well as on a mobile device.

Again welcome to the forum and good luck with finding the right mobile device. Others should also jump in with ideas as well.

I use a Nexus 7 because it is cheap and has plenty of features and I love it.  It does seem that Apple products get the apps first, even from Autodesk, probably because they are more standardized to write them for, but they usually hit Android eventually.  Personally I like the Android ecosystem, but we have and use both Android and iOS in the office, both work well.

 

One word of caution on Android, there are some really cheap tablets available using underpowered processors and old operating systems, stick with the bigger names and current versions of Android.

Thanks for the advice and recommendation here, really appreciate it.

 

It's so important to hear from our customers like yourself. Your recommendations based on real world working experience(s) go a long way when others are doing research on what others have done.
