# How to update the app?

Wondering how to update the app? This page is going to briefly explain how updates work

Smart Logger is a **PWA**, basically a website which can be installed on your device, being it your windows PC, your mac, or your smartphone or iPhone.\
\
When we release an update you should receive it instantly and the app usually self updates, so no need to worry about updating the app!<br>

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that while you instantly receive the updates, you will see it the next time you open the app.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You can check the app version in the main app page ("My Smart Logs"). Click on your callsign on the top left. You'll find your version under **"Current build".**\
\
Under the Current Build button there's the "**Force Update"** button, clicking this will force an update of the app.\
From this menu you can also **Log Out** and **Change your Callsign**

On android / iOS just **refresh the page a couple of times** and close and reopen the app/browser\
On PC / mac or tablets with keyboards: just press **SHIFT + F5** to force a page refresh without cache
