Other recommendations
- To be able to log into Singa Pro, the iPad needs to be connected to internet. Although, once logged in, logging out isn't necessary.
- Have the iPad connected to the internet at least twice a month for system updates or access to new content.
- Note that Singa's content catalog is constantly growing. For that reason we recommend an iPad with at least 512 GB of memory in order to have the larger amount content downloaded into iPad's internal storage.
