NVH App and Operating System Updates:

Smartphone and Tablet operating systems are often updated several times per year. Sometimes these updates cause the NVH app to no longer function correctly. Sometimes smartphone and tablet operating system updates are not available on older smartphones and tablets. This means your smartphone or tablet may be too old, and an upgrade to a newer device is needed.

• For Apple iOS devices, the NVH app supports the latest operating system version and all the same iPhones and compatible iPads that the operating system supports. Typically this includes devices that are up to 5 to 7 years old.
• For Google Android devices, the NVH app supports the latest operating system version and all compatible smartphones and tablets that the latest operating system supports. Some Android-based smartphones and tablets do not offer operating system updates beyond what came on the device when purchased. The NVH for Android app supports older Android operating systems as long as that operating system can support the functions the app needs to function correctly. Typically this includes devices that are up to 5 to 7 years old.

To avoid this issue, please do the following before contacting us:

1. Check for smartphone or tablet operating system updates and always install the latest version available for your device.
2. Apple iOS device users check for updates to the NVH app on the Apple App Store and always install the latest version available.
