My phone (or tablet) is listed, how do I update my device?

If you are still unsure what to do, we recommend contacting Apple support - start here https://getsupport.apple.com/
My phone (or tablet) is NOT on that list, what now?
With this upgrade, we are no longer able to update or make changes to the original app. iOS 11 is the minimum system requirement for our new app, but as Apple continues to release updates to the iOS, the minimum system requirement may also increase to iOS12
Our current plan is to keep the original app online for the time being, but there is a chance that won't be possible.
As a device with an unsupported operating system, you will not be able to see the TwinSpires app in the App store; Apple does not display incompatible apps.
If you are not able to upgrade your device to a newer model that is compatible with iOS 11, please try our mobile site. If you have not used m.twinspires.com in a while, you may be surprised at the changes we implemented to make the site more friendly.
