I'm unable to access BBO on my Galaxy Ace 'phone, so I'm saving up for a Tesco Hudl tablet. The Huddle OS is Android 4.2.2 JellyBean but it doesn't appear on Adobe's list of Flash certified devices. I'd be grateful for advice.

As an android device, I think you can just download the android app and it should work. I know the bbo android app works an quite a few different android phones I have played it on. I don't have access to an android tablet, but why shouldn't it work?

Welcome back, Inquiry! But don't put us through all that worry again :)
My mundane concern is that this BBO page links to this list of supported tablets which does not mention Tesco or Hudl.

I don't believe that page is relevant as it appears that Adobe has changed the target page of the link. The Adobe page is now about the availability of Flash Player, which is not available for Android 4.1 or later (including the Hudl). However the BBO app does not use Flash Player so this is irrelevant.

For confidence I suggest you find a friend who has a Hudl and ask them to download the BBO app from the Play Store. Non-bridge playing Facebook friends (in the UK) are a good target audience.

I don't work for BBO and any advice is based on my BBO experience over the decades

Finally saved up £99 to buy my Hudl with leather case. Thank you Paul: It does run the BBO app OK.
