Is anyone using the mobile version

I've been considering getting a cheap android tablet to use for load development and for the range. I have the mobile version on my phone, but with my fat sausage fingers, data entry is difficult with such a small screen. I was also thinking about a Bluetooth keyboard to further assist with entering data. Thoughts???

use a silicone tipped pen instead of your fingers...

Part (most) of the problem is thee keyboard covers such a large portion of the screen that I have trouble with it. That's why I was thinking about a tablet with a keyboard

I would like to use Point Blank on my tablet, but it does not show up in the Play Store. Point Blank does show up in the Play Store on my phone.
Tablet is Android version 4.4.2 and phone is Android version 6.0.
Is my table too old to run Point Blank?

I am working on a new version at the moment. The ballistics engine is ported over, and as of last night I got all of the graphical output / views working. I need to port over / rewrite the database and the target features. Its coming along quickly.

I hope to support 4.4 (Kitkat) as the base OS (depends on when Android added features I am using to their OS APIs). I've already run into a few cases where some basic features only exist in later APIs.

Sooo a new version is coming. I work on it almost every night... in fact I bought a new laptop to speed up development as my older one was just too slow (took over 1 minute to build and deploy to the emulator... the new one does that in 3 seconds).

PS: bluetooth keyboards are awesome for tiny phone screens... bluetooth mice work with the phones too... although most people dont realize that. I have a ton of bluetooth goodies for my phone (mouse, keyboard, game pad, wireless shutter release for camera).

Good stuff...thanks for all your efforts. I've got the new Samsung S8 pre-ordered, should be in next week. Still looking at cheap Android tablets thinking that it should be easy enough to share data between the two.
