Does spark app run on fire hd 8 2018 version?
-
Hi,
does anyone know if the app runs on the fire hd 8 2018 version? (aka, the cheapest tablet I could find)I have had the spark for some months now, but I don't have any android 8 devices (my one plus x runs android 6.0 and works just fine, I don't want to buy a new phone).

@miro-salvagni I believe that tablet runs a version of Android 7.1. Spark app requirements state v8.1 or upwards, however I think others have it running on 7.1
If you do go for that tablet you'll need to 'side load' google play store. It's a straightforward one time process that only takes 5-10 mins.

The Spark app requirements on the official Google Play page have said "7.0 and up" for as long as I've seen it (last Spring). The FAQ has conflicted with this, saying "8.1 and later", but not sure if anyone is maintaining the FAQ.
