I purchased my P3P at the end of last October and used a Samsung 7 inch Tab 4 for the Go App. Worked well for the first 25 flights but had problems with the follow me mode.
Was getting GPS error messages in the App.

Last November I ordered a ASUS ZEN Pad 8" from Amazon. Big difference between a 7 and 8 inch display. I have over 90 flights with this tablet and never did the App crash. The follow me mode works great, this tablet does not have any problems locking on to GPS satellites.
I've read many post's that were asking about low cost tablets. In my opinion the Go App requires a processor and memory that has the processing power to control the P3. You may find lower cost tablets but one needs to check the spec's to verify that it meets similar requirements as the one approved by DJI.

This is not a low cost or high cost tablet, it is mid range and works very well with my P3P.

Checking the Specs the Nexus 7 II should out perform the Zenpad?

Nexus 7 2 is a good tablet and very inexpensive.

I was looking to move from a 7 inch to a 8 inch tablet. I need reading glasses to even see the screen in focus. The 8 inch size is perfect for my needs and also fit my budget.

Just wanted to pass this on as I have not seen much on the ASUS in this forum.
