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

 

Hi There!  We are seeking volunteer *TestFlight beta-testers, 18 yrs +, to test the GPS functionality of our Beaconeer™Lite app on your iPhone.

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

This beta-test is fun and easy-peasy! If you are interested in learning to develop iPhone apps that can make a positive difference and earn revenue, this volunteer opportunity is for YOU!  Learn to test iPhone apps first! Add "iPhone Test Flight Beta-Tester" to your resume!

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?
Thank YOU for your participation.

The anticipated deployment of  the Beaconeer™Lite app on AppStore will create additional opportunity for all involved in our beta-tests.  The cross-platform iPhone/Android mobile app industry offers limitless opportunity to learn, earn, and make a difference!  

 We'll post updates on this blog!

*TestFlight makes it easy to test beta versions of iOS, tvOS, and watchOS apps and App Clips, then provide valuable feedback to developers before they release their apps on the App Store. Developers invite testers through email or a public link. When you test a beta app or App Clip, Apple collects and sends crash logs, usage information, and any feedback you submit to the developer. The developer may use this information to improve their app and related products. Apple may use crash logs and usage information to improve our products and services.

Exciting Update! New App project

Image
Exciting Update! Back on 5/10 We posted a " wrap-up" update for the Beaconeer™Lite and informed you that we had moved on to new project. Actually we revisited an earlier app project begun in 2016 called “ TPEP Eclipse 2017 and Beyond ”, an Android app with 40 words in English and Spanish, relating to Eclipses and other Astronomical objects. The goal was to use this app as a “template” for future apps, to encourage A+ English Competency, Bilingual Proficiency, and Civic Engagement. However, at that time in 2016/2017, there was no cross-platform coding tool, accessible to youth learning, that enabled us to create the iPhone counterpart. All of that changed in 2020 with the availability of Thunkable X. So, here we are, just three weeks later! Not only did we complete an updated 2024 Android version, to be uploaded soon to Google Play, we have completed the iPhone version also. We submitted the IOS version GAE2024Beta2 to App Store on 5/28 at 2:35, and by 5:53, the same day, we

Beta testing feedback Beaconeer™Lite

Image
  We're getting great feedback on the beta-test for Beaconeer ™ Lite . Perhaps you've noticed these "slight imperfections" reported by a tester.. . "Tried it on 2 different iPhones – it passed all 4 of the tests as shown in the video. Changes to think about in a future build (I wouldn’t be surprised if you already have this in mind): 1.Make navigation between pages more intuitive (nav bar, etc.??) 2.Text field for entering phone number – the word “phone #” sticks around unless you are deliberate about removing before inputing the numbers 3.Make the button size the same (I like the colors)" ------------------------------------------------------ Here's our answers below ... Thanks so much for feedback JXXCCC... 1.We'll try out a navigation bar in next version. The reason we didn't this time is because there are only 3 screens with primary functionality, that we thought are easily accessible using the top menu buttons: Beaconeer Lite Ops Screen Edi
