In terms of whether or not you'll be able to run the Field Test, the blogpost mentions that Android Version 4.3 and above is required, while an iPhone 5 with iOS 8 and above is needed for Apple users.The developers are clearly listening to user feedback, stating, "Because the game involves numerous people playing in multiple countries at the same time, we have a lot to test before we publicly launch. This is why we are asking for your help. We would love for you to - if selected - download the field test version and play it. Your regular gameplay and feedback will help us iterate, polish and make the game launch-ready."Back in March, a Field Test opened to users in Japan , and a month and a half later, 9 minutes of footage leaked online via the game's Australian Field Test . Pokemon Go is set to launch on Android and iOS devices later on in 2016.
