ContractorTools releases updates to the app from time to time. You have two options for how to receive the updates: automatic updates, and manual updates.

Automatic Updates

You can set set options automatically update apps on your iPhone, iPad and Mac

Set Up Automatic Updates On Your iPhone or iPad

  • Tap Settings > [your name] > iTunes & App Store.

  • Turn on the content that you want to automatically download.

    After you turn on Automatic Downloads for Music, Apps, or Books on all of your devices, all new purchases that you make in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store on any device download automatically to all of your devices.
    If you turn on Updates, any new versions of apps that you currently have on your device automatically download when they're available.

    You can turn Automatic Downloads on or off over your cellular network on an iPhone or iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular. Go to Settings > [your name] > iTunes & App Store and turn Use Cellular Data on or off. Cellular Data downloads are limited to a file size of 100 MB or smaller.

Set Up Automatic Updates On Your Mac

  • From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose Apple menu () > System Preferences.

  • Click App Store.

  • Select "Automatically download apps purchased on other Macs."

Manual Updates

If you do not want to use automatic updates, you must follow steps to update your apps manually. Here's how:

Update ContractorTools on iPhone or iPad

  • Go to the App Store.

  • Tap on Updates.

  • Find ContractorTools (or the app you want to update) and tap on the "Update" button next to it.

NOTE: If the button next to the app says "Open" (not "Update"), this is because the app store does not think the app needs to be updated. To make sure it is aware of the latest versions, scroll to the top of the list of apps and then swipe down again. This will force the app store to check for updates.

Update ContractorTools on Mac

  • From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose "App Store".

  • Click on the "Updates" tab at the top of the screen. 

  • Click on "Update" next to ContractorTools.
