We got a lot of feedback on Facebook recently that Android users were desperate for an app, and wouldn't mind beta testing said app.

We mean it when we say beta

If you don't mind playing around with admittedly early-beta software, and have an Android phone running at least 2.1, we would really appreciate your feedback. The app isn't ready for wide release yet (you will notice that even some art assets are still missing), so if beta software intimidates you... you should probably hold off at least a week or two.

Why are we releasing a beta in this state?

Due to the varied nature of hardware and software configurations available on the Android platform, we are still running into configuration issues with certain devices. The best way to iron out all of these problems pre-release is to get it into as many different phones as possible, the earlier the better.

We have run the app on a lot of different phones already, but these are QA devices and not heavily used and customized phones. Real Android users will always beat us QA frauds on figuring some of this out.

How do I install?

Go here to download. We are keeping it on the wiki page, so that we can rapidly iterate the app as needed and still have a single location to download it.

How do I report bugs?

Please report them here in this thread. That way other people running the app will see known issues, and we can keep people updated as we fix them. As always, the more details, the better. Phone, Android version, and please double check that you have the latest build we have posted. Thanks!

If you feel technical enough to try and get at crash logs, we would love to get them. Just let us know in your bug report and we will walk you through it. (Eron, the author of the app, is going to write up notes on how to access crash logs and put it on the wiki as well)


What about feature requests or design feedback?

Absolutely. That is one of the reasons we want to get it in use right away. If you think something doesn't work the way it should, speak up. We may not always make the change, but we will definitely listen.
