It caught me by surprise and it has been difficult to find information, so today I come to share everything that you need to know about the migration of APPICS to TELOS and the published roadmap of the team!

I was posting almost daily using APPICS app and recently I got to celebrating my 5K APX [celebration post](https://leofinance.io/@katerinaramm/reaching-5k-apx-power-should-i-be-celebrating)

A few days ago I noticed that the app was under maintenance mode (IOS app) and I was really surprised! I had seen no announcement and I really did not know what happened and what to expect.. 

Finally, yesterday I saw an announcement posted on facebook / linking on a medium post

Let's see what we need to know!


### What happened?

Why did APPICS stop functioning especially during a time where a contest is taking place?

They decided to concentrate on the new app version, than trying to fix the current app's issues..

> due to the process of migrating to our new Blockchain, our backend has been compromised, which the performance and thus user experience suffered from. To make sure everything is working smoothly and to speed up the process of launching the updated version of APPICS for iOS and Android, we arrived at the decision that it would be best to put the current APP version in maintenance mode, which it’s in right now. This state enables us to focus all developers on the new version, instead of trying to sustain the current one.

### When will the new version be released?

This seems to be a tricky question
They wish to complete the below before the new version is released

- they will prepare the token swap / testing
- APX will be delisted from current exchanges
- the new TELOS APX token will be listed into new exchanges 


> It’s important to take all measures and properly stop the circulation of the APX token, before enabling the token swap. We want to make sure to go through each step in the right order, to ensure a smooth transition.


### Roadmap

I am very happy to see a roadmap, I am not sure if this was published in their website

Roadmap:
Q1: Finalize new registration ✔️
Q1: Finish blockchain development ✔️
Q1: Migration ✔️
Q1: Snapshot
Q2: Token Swap
Q2: Update Release: Moon Version 1.0 (iOS; Android)
Q2: Exchange listing
Q2: Ethereum Blockchain
Q2: Uniswap Listing
Q2: APPICS Launch (Apple / Google Playstore)
Q3: Web version
Q3: New features
Q3: Exchange listing

### In short

We are now on Q1 so we are waiting for the Snapshot to take place (of our wallets) 

Q2 It seems to be a second quarter full of updates, the token swap, the moon version 1.0 will be released and also the tokens will be listed to the exchanges.. 

I see an Ethereum Blockchain / Uniswap Listing (that I do not understand at all!)

Also the APPICS will be available for all via Apple / Playstore 


Q3 will have the webs version & more features .. 

So let's see what they got for us!

### New Registration Process - what to expect

Everyone will have to register for a new account using email/facebook/google/apple etc 

The account should be phone verified and then you will create a Telos account wallet 

As a last step - you will confirm your steem account username & active key (for the ones that had a steem account before)

> The first step after the release of the update will be for every user to register a new account. You will have the option to simply sign-in via Facebook / Google / Apple or create an account with your email.
Next, you verify your account with your phone number, add your birthday and select topics/categories you’re interested in and your APPICS social media account is set-up.
Afterward, you will then be able to create your Telos account wallet and in the next step confirm your Steemit account username & active key (only if you already had an account previously).
You will then be shown your APX account balance of the time when the Snapshot of your APX account balance was taken.

### Telos Wallet 

We do not have to create a TELOS wallet right now, it will be integrated in the new app version

### How about the price? 

I was surprised to see the price having an increase, even though it is at a dead end :)

Maybe that's a good sign, what do you think?
