Understand App Versions and Updates

App releases can change faster than an information directory is updated. A version number helps identify a release, but it does not by itself prove a file is current or authentic.

Compare provider information

Look for the provider’s current release notes, download source and compatibility information. A newer-looking number on an unrelated website is not a reason to trust its file.

Prepare before updating

Check free storage and device requirements, protect your account recovery details, and use the backup or export options the app provides. Review any newly requested permissions.

Report a mismatch

If a directory listing appears outdated, send the page link and a verifiable provider source through our contact page. Do not include login credentials or payment information.
