This article will walk you through troubleshooting unexpected app crash issues with our Pet App and Vet App on Android devices.
While we strive to make the Pet App and Vet app as stable as possible, there may be some scenarios where an unexpected app crash will occur. In the event of an app crash, there are several actions that can often resolve instability.
Step-by-Step Instructions - Force Closing the App
