Re: VOC down??

Are you using the latest update of the VOC App? The Android version updated on the 5 Nov. Don't know, checked the app version which is 4.4.9. Is it the latest? 4.4.11 is the latest (5th Nov). Google Play store will tell you what the version numbers and last date of update is, for all Android apps.
