Download the new Waitwhile app
iOS Users: Download the app from the App Store.
Android Users: Get the app on Google Play.
For the best experience on mobile devices, ensure your operating system meets the following requirements:
Waitwhile App for iOS: Requires iOS 14.0 or later.
Waitwhile App for Android: Requires Android API 21 (Lollipop 5.0) or later.
Internet Requirements
Waitwhile requires an internet connection to operate, as it is a cloud-based platform that relies on real-time data syncing.
Waitwhile is designed to be lightweight and accessible—even on slower connections. For example, when the Visits page loads, it only downloads around 115 KB of data. This is a very small amount, so we don’t have a specific network speed requirement to recommend.
The most common problems we see occur when the internet connection is unstable or temporarily lost. In these cases, inbound and outbound requests may fail, potentially interrupting service. For the best experience, we recommend using Waitwhile on a stable and reliable internet connection.
Required hardware and equipment
Since Waitwhile is a web-based app, it works on practically any device. Essentially, any smartphone, tablet, or computer with the ability to open a web browser and access the internet will work.
