If you spot something which needs to be fixed or have an urgent new feature to make the app usable - please head over to the project page Release 1.0.0 to see if it is being worked on, and if not raise a new issue for triage here.

Anyone can join GitHub and raise an issue, but if you're also a member of the Beta Testing team then you'll get to comment on the very latest features.

Testing and Errors

Help us to prevent you from seeing this page

Error page

There are so many devices and scenarios out there and testing will naturally only cover a few devices and some of the scenarios. By using the beta versions of the app you will help spread the testing across many more and often the less common devices and more obscure scenarios.

When you receive an error screen or experience an application crash, this is far more than just another frustrating experience for you! In the background that information is sent to our App Center account enabling us to effectively investigate and resolve the issues, sometimes even before you report the problem yourself.
