+ | From time to time we will release an updated version of c:geo. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <WRAP center round tip 100%> | ||
+ | We recommend that you update your installation as soon as possible if a new release is available, as older versions might no longer work as expected (e.g. in case of an urgent bugfix or a server-side change). | ||

+ | |||
+ | If you installed c:geo from Google Play you will receive an update notification from the Google Play app, as soon as a new version is available. You can simply follow that notification or open c:geo in the Google Play app to update your c:geo installation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Additionally c:geo uses a notification system to make you aware of new versions or temporary problems. You might then see a message like this on your c:geo main screen: | ||
