Update Information

Some of you may have noticed that when you go into the Sumdog app it says there is an update but how do you do that?

Well, I solved it! I just went into the Self-Service app and found Sumdog and re-installed it. I also did the iOS update and Sumdog is sorted!

😃 Thank you to Sophie K for bringing this to my attention! 😊

Hope this helps,
Miss Scott x.
