Pokemon Go Supported Devices

Question

I have a Verizon Ellipsis 8 tablet, and I was wondering: should I be able to run Pokemon Go on it?

Each time I try to open up the app, it loads about 3/4 of the way and then it crashes. I have the newest software downloaded for it and I have tried a bunch of other things.

Any help would be appreciated.

In July 2019 and October 2020, Niantic updated their minimum supported devices and operating systems, dropping support for older Android and iOS versions and devices.
Specifically, Niantic has ceased support for:
Android

Android v4 (KitKat) - Twitter Announcement, Support Article
Android v5 (Lollipop) - Support Article

iOS

iOS 9 - Support Article
iOS 10 & 11 - Support Article
iPhone 5s & 6 - Support Article
Apple Watch - Support Article

As of writing, the currently supported technical specifications are below. (See Niantic's Supported Devices Page for the latest):
Android

Android 6 or above
Preferred resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels (not optimized for tablet)
Strong internet connection (Wi-Fi, 3G, or 4G)

Rooted devices are not supported

iOS

iPhone 6s or above

What does this mean for your device?
While Pokemon Go now supports Intel-based processors, your Verizon Ellipsis 8 is no longer supported - the highest available Android OS that your phone supports is 5.1. You will need to get a newer device if you wish to continue to play Pokemon Go.
