Beta Testing

I'm (finally) ready to start some beta testing of Differential (a new unofficial Android app for the Fantasy Premier League game).

If you are interested in trying it out, and especially if you are willing to submit some feedback & bug reports, then (edit: comments don't let me see your email, so) please leave a comment on this post with your email address, or drop an email to stevesjp4@googlemail.com

Differential requires a device with Android 2.1 or higher.

There are a couple (ok, a few) of things I should point out:-

• This is Beta software. It has been tested by me, but not on a wide variety of devices and not with more than a couple of FPL teams. There are no guarantees.
• This app will use mobile data to get the latest player/league/scoring/fixture data, if your system settings allow. You can choose whether updates are done automatically in the background (recommended) or manually.
• At the moment, FPL are continually changing the website as they add (restore?) features to the game after the big redesign. These have the potential to break Differential. I will endeavour to fix these as soon as possible...
• Since the App is not yet on the Android Market, you will have to enable "Unknown Sources" for App installation in your phone settings
• The Beta version published today expires about a month from now. Beta testing may end before or after that, but new versions with bug-fixes and new features will be released before then..
  
• I take no blame for your captain scoring 2 points / transferred-out player scoring a hat-trick / benched player grabbing that clean sheet away from home ;)
  

If you do decide to give it a try, please do submit a bug report if anything goes wrong. If Differential crashes (the dreaded Force Close) then a notification will be genereated - if you click on this then you can submit a bug report which will help me fix the problem.

I would also love to hear general feedback on usability, performance, accuracy, and anything else you have to say. If it isn't entirely clear how something is supposed to work, then let me know (I've been looking at these screens for 4 months, so I have little perspective on how a new user will view them!).

Thanks!
