Hi All,

A bit of an update with regards to beta testing and to the app in general.

All of us involved in making the app had a sit down and think about the whole user experience of the current build of the app and we felt like we can and should do better, in light of this we have gone back to the whiteboards. We believe in doing this app right and not end up with a Gmail iOS app on our hands, this will just take some more time.

I had a sit down with one of the mobile guys today with current app and the proposed new design of the app and hand on heart when this is finished it will blow your socks off.

I'm not sure how the guys will want to distribute the app for beta testing and I'll ultimately leave that up to them but please continue to share your interests on testing on this thread.

I'll post back here when there is more news with regards to the beta testing.

I'm interested too whenever it's available. iPhone 4S with whatever the current iOS version is.

Neil, just an idea that you could publish your current App and allow everyone test it and turn this into a features suggestion thread as well as testing. That's just my 2cents from a software engineer to a fellow developer.

afraid that's a no go, I'd love to show people what's there already as I love it (still use on the way to work) but it doesn't matter how many greek letters you stick after an app release people will judge a completely unfinished and pretty much canned version of the app

No worries that's understandable. I'm looking forward to the app you guys release and I would always be happy to provide constructive feedback.
