Test Standard Tags before it ships

Standard Tags beta testing. Open to anyone who wants in.

Join

On Android, joining swaps your install for the test build the next time the Play Store updates it, and your data stays where it is. On iPhone you'll install Apple's TestFlight app first, which is where test builds live. Both are free, and you can leave whenever you like.

What this is

Standard Tags is a barbershop tag library: search, learn and sing tags, keep lists, and sing them with other people.

Test builds come out well before public ones, often several a week. They have the new things in them first, and sometimes the new problems too: a feature that half works, a screen that looks wrong, the occasional crash.

What I need from you

Tell me when something breaks, and roughly what you were doing. That's the whole job. “The list screen went blank after I renamed something” is worth more than a bug report with a stack trace, because it tells me where to look.

Report from inside the app: Account → About → Report an Issue. It sends the version, your device and your account along with your note, which usually saves a round of “which build were you on?”. If the app won't open far enough for that, use the contact form.

About your data

Your favourites, lists and stats live on your device, and sync to your account if you have one. A test build touches the same data as the public one. I do my best to make sure a test build never damages it, and most never come close, but that risk is the one real cost of being a tester. Worth knowing before you join.

Leaving

Android: open the same Play link and choose to leave the programme, then reinstall from the store to get the public build. iPhone: delete the TestFlight copy and install Standard Tags from the App Store as normal.
