Getting a new version
- Don't have Griddler yet? Download it once; it updates itself after that.
- Griddler (desktop): open Settings and click Check for updates. Griddler also checks on its own; when a new version has downloaded, an Update button appears in the top bar — click it to restart onto it.
- Guild Hall and Griddler Social: update by themselves. Reload the page if one is open.
- iPhone & iPad: new builds arrive through TestFlight. First time? See Get the iPhone and iPad app.
Hear about new releases
Dalek mails a short summary of each release, with a link back to this page. In Griddler's mail, that message has a ⟳ Get update button that checks for the new version and installs it. Turn it on or off yourself in Ravens — it's the Griddler updates report. See Turn a report off.
