Received email about new app - tried to install via playstore but it says it's already installed - I have a pay as you go meter - do I need to do anything or am I already using the new app?

​@JaynLM do you still have the old app installed? If so, please try deleting it from your device, and then downloading the new app. I’m not sure if this will work, but worth a go.

The dark green icon takes me to my gas account for details on direct debit and history - I'm concerned if I delete it to reinstall the pay etc as you go app I will lose this functionality

Hey ​@RCDOnline 

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble you’re having with the new app. I reached out to the team who’d like to try and get to the bottom of this. If you’d be able to reply to the private message I’ve sent to both of you, hopefully they’ll be able to get things sorted out.

Hey ​@Hallokath 

 

I just wanted to check if this is the screen you’re seeing in reference to it saying it.

 

 

If so, you need to close that screen then reopen the app to enter the new password and login. Do let me know if you still have any issues after trying this if that’s the screen. If not, please share any other screenshots or information that could be helpful.

Hey ​@Hallokath,

 

Did you have a chance to try the advice that ​@Abby_OVO shared earlier? You'll need to close the screen you’re on and reopen the app. That’s also mentioned in the screenshot, so I hope it works for you. Please let us know how it goes.

 

Oh, and just a quick heads-up: I went ahead and removed your screenshot because it had your account number in it. It’s always a good idea to blur out any personal details before sharing, especially in a public forum like this. We just want to keep your account safe! 😊
