Reinstall
Uninstalling and reinstalling the AppSheet app from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store has the same effect as stopping and restarting the AppSheet app.
This is a simple way of stopping and restarting the app. Many people do not know how to stop and restart an app. They may think they have stopped the app, but it is still running in the background on their mobile device. That is why asking your users to uninstall and reinstall the AppSheet app is sometimes the simplest way to get them to restart the AppSheet app.
Sometimes users will uninstall and reinstall the shortcut icon for their app. This does nothing useful. At best, it will refresh the shortcut icon logo.
