AromaOtt Player updates itself: every time it starts, it checks aromaott.com for a newer version and offers to install it. Updates are downloaded only from aromaott.com and checked before they are installed, and a damaged download is deleted instead of installed. You can also check by hand, or install the latest version from aromaott.com/app.

- When the download is complete and checked, Android shows its installer. Confirm Install.
- The app restarts on the new version.
If you choose Later, the app asks again at the next start.
