@emil is managing that, but I’m pretty sure we have enough candidates, thanks for volunteering!

@Kolraw Busy cranking away on Android, hopefully beta soon for that as well.

SteinyD · June 4, 2015, 9:54pm

@franz - are we there yet?

franz · June 4, 2015, 10:04pm

Beta going out today, w00t.

SteinyD · June 4, 2015, 10:12pm

Woohoo! @franz - those lucky few suckers… I mean, testers (oops, a slip up) - whoever they are - will the beta app be distributed through TestFlight for iOS devices?

franz · June 4, 2015, 10:14pm

Yes

SteinyD · June 4, 2015, 10:15pm

in that case, if i’m one of the few, i’m ready to go! I already use test flight to test for another software developer.

ghctim · June 6, 2015, 11:02am

Still waiting for test flight invite…

JNotar · June 6, 2015, 5:40pm

Ditto…

Everyone who is in the beta program should receive an email tonight. 2.0.0 Build 11.

Just got my e-mail from Apple. Setting up my flex schedule as I type this. So far, I’m loving the look of the updated app. Thanks!

franz · June 7, 2015, 5:10am

w00t w00t.

Please check out photo uploads, choosing weather station, remote, history feed, etc.

Also, on flex schedules mess around with changing runtimes, etc (more/less). We spent an incredible amount of time obfuscating the complexity around modifying runtimes. I think you’ll like the transparency the app gives in predicting flex schedule runs using forecasts (no one else does this because it is really hard).

There are outstanding, known defects, but that is what Betas are for

franz · June 7, 2015, 5:22am

Please install the 2.0.0 11 Build. The 2.0.0 7 Build email you would have received is an old build.

emil · June 7, 2015, 8:10am

For feedback, please fill out this form. We’re asking that feedback to not be posted on the community until the beta testing is completed. Thank you in advance for your support and assistance.

As @franz mentioned, please test the major new features, including but not limited to: zone photo uploads, choosing you own weather station, remote control (replaces the old “play button”, history feed, and flex schedules.

ghctim · June 7, 2015, 10:41am

First thing I did was enable flex scheduling! Very interesting.

SteinyD · June 7, 2015, 1:40pm

@franz - will you be sharing the known defects with the beta group?

franz · June 7, 2015, 2:28pm

I think they are obscure enough not to be found so not right now. Tried to release the build as solid as possible. Most of them are UX issues or edge case scenarios.

JSKGreenblatt · June 7, 2015, 2:40pm

Test Flight will only offer the most recent build - 2.0.0 (11) was the the only option.

emil · June 8, 2015, 1:15am

Day 1 of Beta Testing 2.0!

Hope everyone is enjoying the new look, flow and features.

Please remember to track any bugs on this form

SteinyD · June 8, 2015, 1:48pm

@emil - UI is great! I do have questions / comments about flex scheduling. Do you want those via the feedback form? I’m assuming when we submit questions for clarification or comments about the functionality we will get responses back?
