FAQs
Why is the Phorest app updating?
We've updated our Phorest app to support faster speeds, better performance, advanced features, and an overall better user experience. The new Phorest also works on any web browser, eliminating the need for License Keys and time-consuming updates. You can read more about the update here!
I primarily use PhorestGo. Do I still need to update my desktop app?
While you don't need to update your app urgently, when you do use the downloaded desktop app next, it will require an update, or you'll need to use the web browser version. This is to keep up with performance and continue to sync information between devices, as well as allow you to utilize all new features we release.
