Hey guys! I’m new and starting to develop my own cat clicker game. If I release an update to the app store, will my player score be saved during the update so they don’t get frustrated and delete the game?

It depends on how you save their score. If you used something like Firebase or Airtable, it won’t be impacted by the update. If you used app variables, it will be wiped.

What if I use a stored variable?

It should but it is hard to account for every case. For something that needs to be super permanent, it is a little risky.

You can use [Airtable](https://airtable.com/invite/r/L29Rdhfd) to save the scores, it’s a very easy block to set up and it’s free.

You can create a new base and a new table where you will store the scorings and, doesn’t matter what happens to your app, they will be always updated and there ready for you.

Strong suggested to go for it as you will need to learn/use online database in the future, not just for scores but also for variables that you want to control from remote at anytime, without updating the app manually

Hope it helps!
