Apps -----

Content and updating across devices

Where possible the content of a specific app is the same on all 3 platforms, although any updates uploaded on the same day will appear in their respective app catalogs with the following delays:

Google Play - same or next day
Chrome Web Store - same or next day
Amazon Appstore - 1 to 2 days

All app owners can use the [Ask ?] button in all the apps to ask new questions to be answered in future app updates in 1 or more apps. Note, however, that asking a question is not a guarantee that it will be answered later, although asking an interesting question with plenty of supporting information will make an answer appearing much more likely.

Consulting app owners can also use the [Consulting] button in that app to request information from Holland Numerics Ltd about the availability of consulting and training resources.
