As you've probably seen, the new MyRoute-app has been submitted to Google & Apple for approval: https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/4514/it-has-been-done

With this, will the testing procedure as we know come to an end? No!

The group of Beta testers in this forum will remain! We will continuously keep sending you updates to make sure you have access to the latest (early-access, Beta) version. You can keep posting feedback in this channel but obviously we will add a public section in the forum for all users to use. The Beta part (this) of the forum will have my priority to reply to everything. As seasoned Beta testers, you might want to be active in the public section

The only thing that will change is that the Beta test group won't automatically expand. As the pre-sale ends Monday, nobody will automatically be added to the forum and the sign-up forms for the Beta will be taken offline.

Do you want to switch to the public version of the app?
On iOS, simply download the app from the App Store. You can keep TestFlight installed and whenever you want, just download the app again from there

On Android, it's slightly more complicated. To remove the Beta version, visit https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.cloudmax.myrouteapp and click unsubscribe. You might need to wait a while, restart the Play Store and then you will have the public version! If you want to test again, visit that same link, enroll again and complete the same steps.

Note: switching between public and beta version should work without reinstalling. Even your offline maps should remain intact. However, if the app is completely unresponsive (or doesn't open), you should reinstall. Then you do loose app data (nothing important but you do need to login again, reinstall maps etc). This won't happen frequently but if we add a new feature in the Beta that changes the app's memory and you switch to the public version, it doesn't understand it anymore. Switching back to the Beta will then obviously work.

Will there be another Beta before release?
Unfortunately not. Due to regulations and mandatory changes in the App Store / Play Store configuration, we cannot release a new Beta until the public version is released

What are the plans for the app?
In a separate post I will share what the changes are in the version that will now be released! (v4.0.0).

We've still got quite a nice list of community suggestions that we wish to implement but the focus will be the following:

• Battery usage (we are in touch with HERE)
• CarPlay & Android Auto (they lack quite some important features)

Now with the release we need to schedule all the feedback we still need to await the initial public response to the release so I cannot promise exactly what our short-term schedule will look like. If we have an actual roadmap, you will be the first to know!

Keep up the great work people!
Your contribution has been fundamental to the success of this app.

Best,
Corjan
