# Supported mobile devices
## The short answer
As long as you own an iPhone or iPad equipped with USB-C port, your device is supported.
## The detail
Your mobile device must be equipped with USB-C connector to power the WLAN Pi Go. To establish data connection, it must support Ethernet over USB, often referred to as OTG (On The Go) mode.
We have successfully tested WLAN Pi Go with these devices. Drop us a note using the live chat on [wlanpi.com](https://www.wlanpi.com) if you have tested a device which isn't listed below. We will add it to the list.

For full experience, use iPhone or iPad. Some apps like WiFi Explorer Pi are not available for Android.
