Update an app

When a new version of an app is ready, its card says so. Updating takes a moment and keeps everything stored in the app.

Terrarium keeps an eye out for new versions of your apps. When one is ready, the app's card says A new version is available under the app's name, and the ⋯ button on the card turns green.

Only the account holder can update apps. Household members don't see these options, so if you're a member, let the account holder know.

Update an app

Click A new version is available on the app's card. You can also open the ⋯ menu on the card and choose Update now.

The card shows Updating… while Terrarium restarts the app on the new version. The app is unavailable for that moment, then works as before. Everything stored in it, such as your settings, recipes, notes or budget, stays where it is.

Once the update is done, the card stops saying a new version is available.

If the app doesn't open after updating, see When an app needs attention.
