2. Search for **Soundcheck** (by Soundcheck Live).
3. Tap **Get** → **Install**.
4. Open the app once installation finishes.

**Requires a recent version of iOS.** If the App Store won't let you install, update iOS from **Settings → General → Software Update**.

2. Search for **Soundcheck** (by Soundcheck Live).

## First launch

When you open the app for the first time, you'll see the sign-in screen.

| **Photo Library** | When you choose an existing photo                                 | Selecting photos to attach to your profile, gigs, or chats.                                                                          |
| **Microphone**    | When you record audio for a gig or rehearsal note                 | Optional voice recording on attachments.                                                                                             |

You can change any of these later in your device's system settings → **Soundcheck**.

## Trouble signing in

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="I don't see the verification email">

  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Google or Apple sign-in fails">
    Confirm you're signed in to the right Google/Apple account on the device. If you previously signed up with email, you may need to sign in with email first and then link Google/Apple from your profile.

## Updating the app

App updates ship through the App Store and Google Play. Enable **automatic updates** on your device so you stay current — older versions may stop receiving certain push notifications when the backend evolves.
