Good afternoon,

Our ALS clinic recently received a grant to start a loan closet for low-tech and tablet-based communication devices to provide to our mobile bulbar patients that don't want to lug around a large/heavier dedicated device.  I have been doing a lot of research to "get the most bang for my buck"  and was hoping for some feedback/advise from the group. 

I am looking to use the Predictable app, so I need to make sure I'm purchasing a tablet that is compatible.  I am more of an iPad gal myself, but know that I can get more tablets if I go with an android device.  Amazon has a great price for the Fire HD 8 tablet.  It looks like Predictable is compatible with this tablet, but I can't find it in writing.  I am waiting to hear back from Therapy Box to confirm, but figured I'd check here as well.  Has anyone used this combo?

Also, is anyone familiar with the Fire HD tablet?  I want to make sure I select a good tablet.  Is there a better tablet I should look into that is reasonably priced?

Thanks in advance.
