Quick answer: Yes. ServiceM8 has a full Android app on Google Play, and ServiceM8’s help center says the Android app has “almost all the same functionality as the iOS app”. The Android app needs Android 8.0 or higher. Room Scan, AR measurement, diagram drawing, PDF filling and full camera tagging are still iPhone and iPad only.
Does ServiceM8 have an Android app in 2026?
Yes. Search for ServiceM8 on Google Play and install it. The app is free to download.
ServiceM8’s September 2026 update page calls it “the all-new, full-featured ServiceM8 app for Android”. It shipped as part of ServiceM8 15. If you read an old forum post saying ServiceM8 is iPhone only, that post is out of date.
What can the ServiceM8 Android app do?
ServiceM8’s help page lists these functions for the Android app:
- View your schedule and other staff schedules
- Open the Job card, client details and client job history
- Create and schedule jobs, at fixed times or in booking windows
- Work checklists and complete Forms
- Take and annotate photos, scan documents, add notes
- Add Materials and Services, then send PDF quotes and invoices
- Take payments and deposits
What each tech sees still depends on staff permissions and the features turned on in the account. To put photos a customer texted you on a job, see how to add camera roll photos to a ServiceM8 job.
What is still iPhone and iPad only in ServiceM8?
| Feature | iPhone and iPad | Android |
|---|---|---|
| Room Scan, 3D viewing, AR measurement | Yes | No |
| Drawing diagrams | Yes | No. Photo annotation works. |
| Editing or filling PDFs from attachment previews | Yes | No. Viewing PDFs works. |
| Automatic and in-camera photo tagging | Yes | No. Android has a voice-to-tag action. |
| Activating Tap to Pay for the account | Yes | No. An iPhone does the setup. |
ServiceM8 calls these “the main differences”, so the list may not be every gap.
What Android version does ServiceM8 need?
Android 8.0 or higher.
Tap to Pay has a higher bar. Tap to Pay needs Android 13 or later, NFC, and a phone on Stripe’s supported device list. A phone that runs ServiceM8 may not run Tap to Pay.
Is ServiceM8 Lite for Android still a thing?
No, not by that name. The older Android app carried the Lite name. In August 2026 ServiceM8 announced a rebuilt Android app in beta, “much closer to the ServiceM8 iOS experience”.
ServiceM8’s help pages now say “ServiceM8 for Android” and no longer list the old Lite limits. The one leftover is the web address. Two help pages still have “servicem8-lite” in the URL, and the page text does not match that name. Trust the page text.
You do not need the beta now. The ServiceM8 15 help page says the iOS and Android apps “are rolling out on their respective app stores”.
Can a crew mix iPhones and Android phones in ServiceM8?
Yes. ServiceM8 says a team can run Android, iPhone and iPad together, with office staff on the Online Dashboard.
Before you buy Android phones for the crew, check the table above against how you work. If your techs scan rooms or fill PDFs on site, keep those techs on iPhone. Working in basements or out of range? Here is what ServiceM8 does with no cell signal. To turn on the rest of the update, see how to turn on ServiceM8 15 features.
