How do you update the Colectivo app?

By default, smartphones will update apps automatically, usually when charging and connected to wifi. Some people will disable automatic app updates, and even if enabled, these automatic updates can take days or weeks for some people.In general, a phone owner can go into their phone's app store, then to the Colectivo app listing to update the Colectivo app. Alternatively, a phone owner can install all pending app updates in a couple easy steps:
iPhone manually update apps: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202180#manual
Android manually update apps: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/113412?hl=en

I'm having issues with my Colectivo App, what can I do?

Since everybody's phone is unique, no issue is ever the same. However, these steps may help fix common issues experienced within the Colectivo App:
• Update app (check for app updates in your phone's app store)
• Close app (completely exit the app), then reopen
• Empty cart, try again
• Restart your phone
• Sign out of your app account, and sign back in
• Check app permissions in your phone's settings (location required, but only to check nearby cafes)
• Uninstall/reinstall app

What permissions are required to use the Colectivo App?

The Colectivo app needs to access a phone's location to check for nearby cafes when ordering. This information is not stored or associated with a customer's Colectivo account.

If a Colectivo app user denies location permissions to the app, placing an order may not work as expected.
Location - to check nearby cafes, only used when checking nearby cafes
Push notifications - to send order status and occasional cafe or product information

When an app is installed (Colectivo app or any other), it will request permissions the first time it's used. An app user can always remove then reinstall an app to correct permission settings.
