Let’s Test, Everyone!

This is important! We have made HUGE progress on the new SocialTrade mobile app, and I need everyone’s help, both Android and iOS alike, in testing it. Except for the fact its sign-on screen is really ugly, it’s pretty much done, so I need you to smoke out any remaining issues.

The app isn’t ready to download yet on the Apple or Google Play platforms, because I want to put it through its final paces first. I would VERY much appreciate your help testing this, however, and I think you’d have fun trying something new.

Step One: you need to download an app called Expo Go on your Android or iOS device. Just search for that name in the App Store or Google Play. If you have downloaded it already, delete it and download it again, just to make sure you’re starting totally clean. If you don’t want to go far, at least tap the Clear link in Expo Go to get rid of the old SocialTrade.

Keep On Testing!

Some of you aren't weekend warriors and perhaps missed my request to test a totally new product. I am therefore going to politely repeat my solicitation.

Most of you know that Slope has had mobile apps on Android and Apple for years. They’re pretty good, and very well rated (4.8 stars on both platforms), but I’ve never been over-the-moon happy with them. I wanted to change that, so we’ve been working on something quite new, which is an app we are going to call SocialTrade.

The app isn’t ready to download yet on the Apple or Google Play platforms, because I want to put it through the paces first (plus we have some improvements to make). I would VERY much appreciate your help testing this, however, and I think you’d have fun trying something new.
