Oto,

Correct. The most recent Bentley Map Mobile for Android commercial release requires installation on larger tablet devices. We are still considering a future Bentley Map Mobile release that would support smaller form factor devices.

Are more form factors added to latest release? Do not see any difference as still phablet devices are not compatible.

Our plan is to release before end of Q1 commercial updates to each of the following:

Bentley Map Mobile for Android
Bentley Map Mobile for iOS
Bentley Map Mobile Publisher

What are estimations for updated version?

Yes, for the next Bentley Map Mobile for Android commercial update, we are considering expanding support of additional form factors including some of the newer 'phablets' devices currently available in the market.

And what about device requirements? Are there any plans to release ban for non-tablet devices? It is pity that it doesn't allow to install for example on Samsung Note device even if screen is big enough.

Oto,

At this time Android 5.x is not supported. We have duplicated the problem and are working to resolve for the next commercial release update.

Is Android 5.0 supported? Got unhandled exception when run on newer device. It installs but doesn't run.

Already did but which of the requirements are critical? Is the 10" screen or it is resolution that is critical? Where to check at Google Play what exactly is not compatible?

BTW just installed from APK and it works flawlessly so the restriction by device type is silly. It should be up to user to decide if the resolution is too low or device too slow for the needs.
Or it reads "If we won't deny people to this app, they'll want it to use more and we (Bentley) will have to support it". Again I see that there are no such restrictions for some company DWG viewer so it is one more reason to use DWG format for mobile devices instead of complicated process to create i-model which is viewable only on limited devices.
