If your QuickTalker Freestyle is not managed by AbleNet, your speech app may not update on its own. Follow these steps to update the speech app from the App Store. Updates include important fixes that help your app run smoothly.

1. Connect your device to Wi-Fi.
2. Have your Restrictions Passcode ready. If you do not know it, contact ableCARE and they can help you find it.
