Is your phone compatible?

The apps have been designed to work on both Android and iPhone. All Android devices running Android version 1.5 or higher should be supported, such as the HTC Desire, HTC Wildfire, Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Nexus S and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. The iPhone app is compatible with the iPhone 3G or later.
Some functions of the app require GPS access, and so your device must be GPS-compatible.
