All software requires updates! Things like maintenance, bug fixes, performance improvements, new features, security enhancements, optimized interfaces, etc. Software is always changing and improving, just like your business. Uscreen Mobile and TV apps are no different.

Why automatic updates?

Automatic updates ensures that you, and your end-users, have the latest and greatest apps, without having to spend time contacting Uscreen, or worrying about your software versions. Uscreen automatically updates your apps as we have new releases. We handle app store submission and publishing.

There is no preview period if you enable automatic updates. We eliminate the preview step to save time. We publish your updated apps to the app stores. And your end-users get these updates automatically, if they allow the respective apps stores to automatically update their devices, which most do!

What apps have automatic updates?

We are slowing rolling out automatic updates, as every platform, and app store, is a little different. Here is where automatic updates are available:

  • πŸ“± Android Mobile: available now βœ…

  • πŸ“± iOS Mobile: available now βœ…

  • πŸ“Ί All TV Apps: planned in later 2024

Please note that automatic updates for iOS apps require a business account. Please convert your developer account to received iOS automatic updates.
