Coming from Field Service Report?
The Google Play listing for Field Service Report was replaced by a new listing named Pioneer Planning. Same developer, same app, same data — the old listing no longer exists, so it can no longer be updated.
On iPhone and iPad: nothing to do. The app was only renamed and keeps updating normally.
Do not delete the old app before you have exported and checked your backup. Without a backup_reports.fbs file, your data cannot be recovered.

Frequently Asked Questions
The app was renamed Pioneer Planning. On Google Play it was republished as a new listing, so the old one no longer appears and no longer updates. On iPhone and iPad nothing changed: same app, same updates, only the name is different.
Yes. Same developer, same features, plus everything added since: ministry timer, monthly goals, credit hours, notes and local backups. You can reach us at contact@pioneer-planning.com.
No, if you export a backup from the old app and import it into Pioneer Planning. Yes, if you delete the old app without exporting first: your reports are stored only on your phone and cannot be recovered without a backup_reports.fbs file.
Its Google Play listing no longer exists, so Google can no longer deliver updates for it. The old app keeps working, but it will not receive fixes or new features. Install Pioneer Planning and import your backup.
Search your email, Google Drive and Files app for a file named backup_reports.fbs — many people sent one to themselves and forgot. If there is none, the data cannot be recovered: it never left your phone, and we hold no copy of it.
