I don't know if this Facebook video link will work, but if it doesn't you can go to Neptune's Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/NeptuneSystems/ You will have to scroll down a ways to when this video was posted, which was June 14, 2016. Step by step instructions on how to set get it set up on the Fire, to include how to set up the Fire to not go into sleep mode. This is how I set mine up and it worked perfectly. Dolphin was not the easiest to get to download, but it did finally after a few attempts

That video is what made me purchase the fire. I don't understand why its so difficult to find and install an app... its crazy. At any rate... I decided to try the Opera browser and it worked perfectly. I have a question though -

Why do I want to use a browser at all as a touchscreen? Why wouldn't I just use the fusion app?

EDIT* I cant even find a fusion app thats not for ios. And people ask me constantly why I like the apple stuff. Its just simple and works. All the time. Something tells me im going to be using my iphone to control the apex and this kindle is going to my kids...

To go to fusion on the tablet, you just need to open a browser, not safari :), and type in the address bar this :"https://apexfusion.com/login" or "https://apexfusion.com"

After that you can save the page...create bookmark...save id and pw.....

It does it take a while to get used to Android coming from up as an Apple user.

Anyway, the movie of Terrence is to emphasize on how to get a CHEAP display for apex, not a how easy it is to use....I guess it was the intention that we are not getting...That is his fault actually LOL.

I am sure you can use your ipad, iphone plus....for the same purpose.

I just used an old Toshiba tablet I had from years ago. It's slow as molasses in January but it works:)

The main issue i've had with mine is after a day or two the browser interface becomes fairly unresponsive. I don't ever know if the data on the screen is correct or not. I usually figure out that it's not working when i try to put on a feed mode and absolutely nothing happens. Refreshing the screen fixes it, but it's annoying to have to do that. All that being said, for the $25 i paid for a refurb fire, it gets the job done.

I was thinking that might possibly be an issue. Im going to give it a shot but in all honesty, I can see myself using the iOS app on my phone mostly...
