## Install or uninstall apps

To add or remove an app on your payment terminals, in your Customer Area, select what action you want to take on what terminals. The terminals then carry out the action at an automatic [maintenance call](/point-of-sale/managing-terminals/maintain-performance) they make to our system. For the action to succeed, the terminal must be connected to your network and turned on.

To schedule the action:

1. In your [Customer Area](https://ca-test.adyen.com/) go to **In-person payments** > **Android** and select the **Apps** tab.

2. Verify that the app has reached the **Ready** status.

3. Select the app.

4. Select what you want to do:

   * **Install** to add an app to terminals.
   * **Uninstall** to remove an app from terminals.

5. Select the app version.

6. Schedule when you want the install or uninstall action to happen:

   * **Schedule now** adds or removes the app with the next maintenance call.
   * Specifying a date and time adds or removes the app with the first maintenance call after the scheduled date and time.

7. Select **Continue**.

8. Select the terminals that you want to apply the action to. You can filter the list of terminals by terminal ID, or a combination of categories like terminal model and country/region.

9. Select **Continue**.
