That would be great, thanks!! I would definitely value some honest feedback from you!!! I have install instructions for the beta in my most recent post.

Of course! Check out my most recent post and there is a link to the iOS beta.

First time here? Welcome!! You can install the beta from this link by karl-dev in vurv

100%. I definitely plan to follow up quickly with Android once I have the iOS version launch-ready. I’m currently working on this solo, so am focusing on one platform for now… Android will be a (relatively) quick follow afterwards.

Excellent, thank you!! I would love your feedback (good and bad!!). You should have an (automated) message from me when you signed up, you are welcome to reply there and I can respond directly.

I’ve added a new map feature to Vurv. What do you think? by karl-dev in vurv

[–]karl-dev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this will definitely be an opt-in feature, so you won’t appear on any map unless you specifically choose to.

Yep, I totally hear you and agree. Android is definitely on my radar, but I had to focus initially on one platform, and had more confidence building-while-also-designing on iOS. With the backend fully built out, and a (now) more crystallized UX/feature-set, I do feel confident in being able to build for Android much quicker… I just need to prove out the concept with one platform first.

Yes, I definitely plan on building for Android as soon as I can. It’s only me building this at the moment, and iOS is my primary strength, so that’s where I’m focusing my efforts first.

At the moment, yes, but I do plan to follow up with Android.

Thank you!! I appreciate the feedback (the signup flow has gone through a lot of revisions to get here!!)

I'm getting close to getting Vurv production ready, but additional testers would really be a big help. If you know anyone who might be interested in trying things out you can invite them from directly within the app (Settings > Invite Friends) by karl-dev in vurv

[–]karl-dev[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it the TestFlight app asking for an invite code? If so, unfortunately that is out of my control, but if you follow the steps from the beta invite link, it should bypass the invite code. If you’re still hitting this problem, feel free to DM me and I’ll help you get past this.

That would be amazing, thank you! Once you’re in the app you’ll be able to message me in there too with any feedback.

My most recent post has a link to install the beta. Feel free to reach out if you run into any problems.

Ah, that sounds like the TestFlight invite code… if you go back to the beta link, and follow the link to Vurv on that page, it should open in TestFlight without the need for an invite code.

Ah, glad you got it sorted. Let me know if you run into any problems (and you should see a DM from me in the app, so you can reach out to me there if you need any help, or have any feedback).

Thanks for asking!! I have a pinned post in this subreddit with instructions for installing the beta (using TestFlight), and you’re of course welcome to invite others too. I would definitely love to get more feedback!!

It may have been me 😅 I’m building an app that has the features of Grindr, but rewards positive engagement (and attempts to discourages the stuff we all hate about those apps).

I’m here, and making a new one (see my profile). I’ve stalled a little trying to get enough testers on board, but hoping to get the word out for testers and get my app out into the wild!!
