WANTED...Beta-testers for Beaconeer™Lite GPS accuracy!

Hello Everyone!

We're now in the "home stretch" with getting the Beaconeer™Lite app in AppStore! It's truly been an exercise in patience! 

Once again we need Test Flight Beta-testers, to test the Beaconeer™Lite GPS  functionality on your iPhones. This is the final requirement by the Apple AppStore Review Board!

As the app developers, we too, want to make sure that the Beaconeer™Lite app will generate reliable Longitude, Latitude, and Vicinity address information, when initiated by the app user. 



Before you test the Beaconeer™Lite Build Version #202111489, a few facts about GPS and Smartphones:

  • Exact "pin-point" address" GPS accuracy is not guaranteed with most Smartphones. Per GPS.gov, even under the best conditions, typical Smartphone GPS (Latitude, Longitude) may be accurate within a 16 foot radius.
  • Therefore, our claim for the Beaconeer™Lite app is that GPS user accuracy should fall within a radius of 16 feet to 105 feet (32 meters).
  • Only costly standalone GPS devices(i.e., Garmin, ankle bracelets, GPS insoles) can provide more pin-point accuracy less than 16 feet radius, using WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System).
        For more information on GPS and Smartphone accuracy visit                                           https://www.gps.gov/systems/gps/performance/accuracy/

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's get started... 

  1.        Is indoor GPS data display accurate, within 105 feet of your actual ground level location?
  2.         Is outdoor GPS data display accurate, within 105 feet of your actual ground level location?
  3.       Turn off your cell phone data. Do the Latitude and Longitude coordinates still display?
Thank YOU for your participation.

The anticipated deployment of  the Beaconeer™Lite app on AppStore will be cause for HUGE  celebration. We'll continue to keep you all posted.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! 2021 will be a breakthrough year for The BEACONEER™! We hope it will be for you too! http:/ We extend a very special invitation to you to beta-test Beaconeer™Lite, for iPhone.   Please view the 3.5 minute demo video which explains the beta test. https://youtu.be/n7Ip-Esa0Lg Beta-testing is easy-peasy! Apple.com uses Test Flight as their official intermediary to pre-screen apps in order to determine them functional and "worthy" of final review by AppStore. Guess what! We made it past the Test Flight pre-screen! That means you can rest assured that the beta-test WILL NOT melt your iPhone! We now need just 50+ iPhone family and friends to test the app and demonstrate use by the general public. Then we will be able to submit Beaconeer™Lite to AppStore for final review. This process has taken 2+ years, and many of you have been waiting patiently for an iPhone version of the Beaconeer. We've come this far, join us and let's go the distance in 2021!

Known Issue and Fix with Beaconeer Notepad

Image
Hello Everyone, thanks for feedback. Here' the explanation for a known issue and the "fix".  When entering new text in the Beaconeer™ Notepad, the text autosaves as long you hit any of the app menu buttons , including the app's "X" button.  However, if you happen to click on any Android phone's "back button" which operates outside of the app , it automatically closes the Beaconeer™, without saving your new text!  The Beaconeer™ is unable to extend execution of the "save" command to behaviors that occur outside of the app . Sorry if you've lost text and wondered "what the fish happened!"  We'll see if we can remedy that in the next update! F. Avery P. Kelly  www.Beaconeer.us
