Very excited to finally have this available for Siteworks devices on Android! 

Note that the "Trimble ScreenView" installation is started after the Siteworks install is completed when using Trimble Installation Manager. You will need to select "NO" when asked if they want to run Siteworks at the end of the Siteworks install, so that the ScreenView install can run.

The ScreenView app is available for Siteworks version 1.73.  Please talk to your SITECH about updating your Trimble Protection Plan if it has expired prior to August 30, 2024 to be able to install v1.73.
