VE.configure with VE.Bus Smart Dongle?

We want to configure a Multiplus Compact using a Smart Phone. Does VE.configure run on Android? Didn't see it in the App Store. We were going to use the VE.bus Smart Dongle to accomplish this. Suggestions?

Thank You.

VEConfig is a windows only application, however basic configuration is now possible with VictronConnect. But no assistants and a few other limitations.

The VE.Bus Smart Dongle can not be used for Multiplus configuraiton, only operation and monitoring. You need to use the MK3 USB adapter for configuration.

There are VictronConnect download links for Android, including the Play store here:

The VictronConnect manual notes several issues with Android version 5 but 6 has no issues.

Information hear says the MK3 USB WILL work with Android (but not iOS):
