BEFORE YOU APPLY
Beta FAQ
Who can join?
This first round is for selected Android testers. A Google account used with Google Play is required. You don’t need to be a reloader to apply.
Does signing up give me the download?
No. Stephen reviews applications and adds approved Google-account emails to the closed test. The invitation link alone does not grant access to an unapproved account.
Is the app finished?
No. We’re testing reliability and usability, especially saving records, camera behavior and the complete range workflow. Features and screens may change.
Can I use an iPhone?
This beta is Android only. There is no iPhone beta signup in this round.
What equipment do I need?
Your Android phone and a willingness to give useful feedback. A chronograph or Kestrel is not required; the application asks about them to understand testers’ workflows.
How do I leave or request deletion of my signup information?
Leave the test from the Google Play opt-in page. Use the contact and feedback form below to ask Stephen to remove your beta signup information.
