Can I use ReelCount on a phone instead of an iPad?

Whether the Scanner app works on phones.

Updated over 2 months ago

Yes — the ReelCount Scanner app can be installed on iPhones as well as iPads. However, it’s designed to work best on iPads.


Using on a Phone

  • The app functions the same way on iPhone.

  • You can scan passes and even use Multiple Collect.

  • It can be useful as a backup device if an iPad isn’t available.


Why We Recommend iPads

  • The larger screen is easier for crew to use when scanning themselves.

  • Mounted iPads on stands work well as check-in desks.

  • iPads are better suited for Guided Access, which prevents tampering.


Key Points

  • Phones can run the app, but iPads provide the best experience.

  • Use iPads wherever possible for smoother operation.

  • Keep phones as a backup option if needed.


That’s how ReelCount works on phones — fine for emergencies, but iPads remain the recommended setup.
