## Install the Mobile App

The mobile app offers many of the same features as the web version and can be used on Android and Apple iOS devices. Review the [Minimum Requirements](https://vas.com/technology-specifications/) on the VAS website before installing the mobile app on iOS and Android devices.

Follow the steps below to Install the Mobile App:

1. Visit Google Play or the Apple App store on your device to download and install the app.
2. Launch the app and log in with your PULSE username and password.

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
If you have not created your PULSE user account, tap **New to VAS PULSE Platform? Sign Up** (see [Sign Up](docId\:Qh1XidPxvAaMA3sypx3v1) for help). Complete the sign-up process and log in to the mobile app.

3. Set a 4-digit PIN number that you will enter each time you open the mobile app.

## Update the Mobile App

Updates are typically controlled by the options you choose in your mobile device settings, which are independent of VAS PULSE Platform settings. **The most recent release of the mobile app is always available in the app store**. If your device does not have the current version installed, please visit Google Play or the app store and update it from there.

### How do I check my mobile app version?
