# What is a Platform App

## Good question.

Companies who subscribe to the platform get their own **platform app** to make available to their audience - **lovely** **people like you**.

## Types of apps <a href="#types-of-apps" id="types-of-apps"></a>

**A platform app can be made available for Android, Apple and/or web users.**&#x20;

The app can either be **Private** (invite-only), or **Public** (anyone can sign up).‌

If you need **access to a private app**, contact the app administrator for assistance.

## App & platform updates <a href="#app-and-platform-updates" id="app-and-platform-updates"></a>

The **platform is** **regularly updated** as new features are added and improvements and fixes are made.&#x20;

When there's a new version, you will receive an email and/or push notification, prompting you to update.&#x20;

**Web/desktop users** will automatically see the update, **Android** users' app will **auto-update** (if auto-update is enabled), and **Apple users** will need to follow the download link (or download on the App Store if the app is available there).‌
