It’s time to move to the new generation of mobile field service
Simpro Mobile is our next generation field service app, and replaced Connect as our recommended solution several years ago. It is now time to completely retire Connect as Simpro Mobile is complete with the tools you need to improve customer service and run your business in the field.
Connect will be removed from both Google Play and the iOS store on November 1, 2023. This means you will no longer be able to re-install the app via these platforms.
To help with the transition, for the next three months you will be able to download and re-install a file manually. This file will be available until January 31, 2024, giving you time to transition your business completely to Simpro Mobile. Details on how to access this file can be found in our FAQs below.
Connect will remain functional on devices where it is installed, however, we do strongly recommend you complete your switch before January 31 to avoid disruption to your field service workflows in the event that a mobile device needs to be replaced or upgraded.

Planning a complete transition of your team to Simpro Mobile now, will prevent business impacts later.
Your staff member might be keen to grab the new iPhone. Or, the dreaded smashed screen happens in the middle of the work day, forcing an emergency purchase.
Simpro’s field service apps are an essential part of their job, so one of the 1st things they will need to do is download the app they are used to. The last thing you need is a panicked phone call when they discover they can’t access their schedule because Connect is unavailable!
Coming soon, we will be announcing dates for online webinars to help you make the switch to Simpro Mobile.
We also have recordings from previous Simpro Mobile webinars, our Simpro Learning Toolbox modules and the Simpro Help Guide.
