How to rollback your app to a previous version

Sometimes an app "update" is so bad that you need to revert back to a previous version.

 

Here's how to do that on Android.

1. First you'll need to change a setting to allow app installation from Unknown Sources

2. Uninstall your current app, making note of the offending version number

3. Visit https://en.uptodown.com/android and search for the app version you want, the one that you were happy with until the offending "update", download it and then install it.

I rolled back to Version 5.24.1.1 using the above information and it's working a charm ...

You’re going to also need to stop Android from automatically updating again...

 

To turn updates on or off, follow these steps:
  1. Open Google Play.
  2. Tap the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) on the top-left.
  3. Tap Settings.
  4. Tap Auto-update apps.
  5. To disable automatic app updates, select Do not auto-update apps
