Last week we rolled out a much needed update to the N4BB app. The very original was a super early beta built with outdated signing keys. Because of that, the new version had to be manually added for the update. This meant it would install a new version alongside the older version. The old version can simply be deleted. However, some users had unfortunately not uninstalled the previous version, thu... »

Through the years the site has transformed ... »
