Beta test iOS app

Bingo. Ok. Yes I see it. Great!

I can download it…but then when I click on it nothing happens - does that bit work for you?

rich · October 17, 2018, 8:51pm

Actually I’ve just tried it on the standard lessons and the same thing happens- I have only just downloaded the beta version- so maybe something isn’t quite right.

rich · October 17, 2018, 8:54pm

Ok. Crash stopped it and restarted.

It’s now wooooorking!

Just tested it in streaming (after reading here I had to switch to North to see it!).
It works fine. I can also see the sort of “breathing dots” on the play button that seem a new thing!

rich · October 17, 2018, 9:44pm

So can something be tagged as both north and south simultaneously or will it have to go in twice/ different locations?

AnnaC · October 17, 2018, 9:59pm

Working here, streamed or downloaded. It would be nice if us Southern learners didn’t have to switch to North for the Advanced content, but perhaps the way things are set up that isn’t possible. I’m not complaining…it’s awesome to have this available in the app so I don’t have to download it to my phone separately. Thanks @lewie!

I’ll push out a new beta shortly to work around this. The Growth Club content is also tagged Northern, and I similarly just worked around it.

rich · October 17, 2018, 10:21pm

I see. Great!

As the Beta has now expired, do iOS users need to go back to using the old version of the app?

AnnaC · January 16, 2019, 1:55pm

I think we do, but tagging @lewie…

ade-h · January 16, 2019, 2:55pm

Thanks, Anna. I didn’t think to tag Lewie myself.

lewie · January 16, 2019, 5:13pm

Oh ugh… sorry for losing track of that ;-). I’ll push out a new beta shortly. And then I think it’s probably time to just release it, eh?

lewie · January 16, 2019, 6:14pm

The beta is now refreshed, so you should just be able to update it via TestFlight.

ade-h · January 16, 2019, 6:17pm

Thanks, Lewie. I received the Test Flight notification and updated.

lewie · October 31, 2019, 6:45pm

Hey all - I’ve got a new beta release of the iOS app. I’m trying to sort out problems that some folks have been reporting, and I’d like to hear if the new beta helps with those problems. So, if you want to help test it:

Install the TestFlight app on your iDevice

All positive comments so far @lewie including this delighted customer who admits to being technically challenged :

Just tried out the new app thing and it’s brilliant! Just played 4 old challenges back to back no problem. :0))) it also bonds much better with the car audio, significantly better and instead of struggling to hear it at max volume, 30 I can hear it fine at 10.

That’s made a world of difference.

Having trouble with the beta version that I downloaded from the App Store. It keeps freezing on challenges- was doing it intermittently then working but now completely frozen.

Any suggestions?

If streaming is unreliable, you can always download the lesson. Go to the Levels tab and do a long-press on the challenge that you are trying to do. A small menu will pop up with the option to Download - select that. Let me know how it goes.

helenredfern · January 3, 2020, 5:01pm

Having the same issue when on wi go? Just wondered why it works sometimes but not others?

Sorry - not following! Looks like a typo
