Not exactly, an iPhone 3GS is very slow and outdated. You might wanna have a look at something good like the SE, or the 6 or 6S. ---

AFAIK, Thunkable × uses minimum iOS version 8? I would need confirmation on that. ---

Thunkable ✕ supports iOS 9 and up. Versions lower than that might work to some degree but we make no guarantees. -Mark ---

It’s not entirely clear from the original posters question whether he cares about iPhone/iOS or not, so I’ll mention that Thunkable ✕ also supports Android phones. The minimum version supported is Android 4.4. As with iOS, versions lower than that might work to some degree but we make no guarantees. -Mark ---

@point and @kizzy, If you look at my post above ([here](http://community.thunkable.com/t/what-phone-i-need/49850/11?u=mark)), you’ll see that for iPhone you’ll need a device that supports iOS 10 and higher. We also mention this in our documentation atL [https://docs.thunkable.com/app-limits](https://docs.thunkable.com/app-limits) -Mark ---
