Setting up any mobile device with the Inventory or AssetCloud mobile app must be downloaded from the Google PlayStore.
The Google Playstore requires a Gmail account to be created for downloading apps, if you do not already have a Gmail account.
The below information goes into greater detail on how to setup the required Gmail account in order to download mobile apps.
