1. Current compatibility status
Although EasyVFR 4 runs on all major platforms there will always be some specific device model and/or operating system version that can not work with EasyVFR 4. We continuously work at improving compatibility where we can.
Since EasyVFR 4 is developed only for 64-bit systems, devices that run at a 32-bit operating system are not supported. A few cheap Android devices are known to be not updated to 64-bit. Also, there are some (temporarily) compatibility issues expected when a new operating system is released.

64-bit and 2GB RAM. Effectively:

Download EasyVFR 4 for iOS
M1 & M2 macs can also install the .dmg file via Rosseta, but this is not advised. - Intel-based Macs can only install the .dmg file.
Download EasyVFR 4 .dmg installer for macOS- Intel macOS installation instructions:
- After downloading the DMG, open it and drag the EasyVFR 4 icon into the Applications folder. EasyVFR 4 is now available via Launchpad.
- When you get the message "EasyVFR4.app can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the App Store" choose [Open in Finder] from that popup, then right-click on EasyVFR4.app and choose open. Now the same popup will appear, now with a [Open] button.
- From there on you can launch EasyVFR 4 from the launchpad without this warning.
- With every update, you need to redo step 2.
- Intel macOS installation instructions:
- Apple Silicon M1 & M2 macs can best run the EasyVFR 4 iOS app, download it via the iOS AppStore.
3. 32-bit? 64-bit!
EasyVFR 4 does not run on 32-bit operating systems. The reason we choose for this is that Apple, since iOS 11, has stopped supporting 32-bit. Google has similar plans for the near future.
Luckily (almost) all the recent tablets and phones are 64-bit, even some more affordable ones.
All modern iOS devices are 64-bit. For Android, most of the latest midrange to high-end tablets have a 64-bit CPU as well. We have good results at Android with the Huawei MediaPad M5, Xiaomi Mi Pad 4, Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 and S6. On iOS, the iPad Mini 5 and iPad Pro perform very well.
How do I know if my device is 64-bit?
When you can find EasyVFR 4 in your Google Play or Apple App Store then your device is compatible.
4. Known un-supported devices
Some devices (mostly cheap Android tablets) are known to be artificially kept on a 32-bit operating system, even when they have a 64-bit processor built-in. This means that it can not run 64-bit apps like EasyVFR 4. Here an (incomplete) list of the devices that are not compatible:
- Samsung
- Galaxy Tab A
- Of The Galaxy Tab A line only the latest version (EU 8.0" 2019) [SM-T290] and the [SM-P205] is known to run EasyVFR 4. Note: the screen is horrible to read in the sun.
- Galaxy Tab Active 2
- the first Galaxy Tab S2 (2015) [SM-T810]
- Newer versions of this model run EasyVFR 4 well.
- Galaxy Tab A
- Lenovo
- Tab 4. This tablet uses a slow and incompatible software-based decryption set. This results in several minutes to start the application.
