Installing the eylog app on a tablet device

The eylog practitioner app allows practitioners to use the features of eylog – e.g. observations – while taking care of children. You can download the practitioner app from the Play Store on Android devices, or the App Store on iOS devices. 

The eylog practitioner app can only be used on devices with a screen size larger than 7 inches.

Installing the eylog app on an Amazon Fire tablet

Though the eylog practitioner app can be installed on Amazon (Kindle) Fire tablets, we don't generally recommend it. Some features aren't available when using these tablets, and because you don't have access to the App Store or Google Play, the installation process is more complicated. 

When using the eylog app on an Amazon (Kindle) Fire tablet, you will not receive notifications, and you are required to use the in-built camera to upload media.
