Hi, Mlem App Community!

We on the Mlem Team wanted to share some data from our TestFlight so far with you all to let you know how popular the app is.

The Testing Numbers

So far, we have just over 8k beta testers for the Mlem App! That’s out of 10k total test slots in TestFlight, which means that we’re close to our max allowable testers! That’s a lot of adoption for a week since our announcement!

Also, 89% of currently-registered testers have the latest build installed and are currently testing (meaning 11% deleted the app but are still registered), and there’s a 34.6% reporting rate for crashes-- meaning some of you could do a better job with crash reporting.

New Recruits

Last week, we posted a call for new contributors, and you, the community, stepped up! We’ve added a bunch of new developers and designers, including those with expertise in accessibility compliance, helping us to make sure that everyone will be able to use our app, using all of the system’s features iOS provides and meeting a11y standards. With new UX designers, we’ve overhauled our interface, and with new graphic designers, we’re bringing a great starter set of custom icons, with more to follow in future releases. And, most importantly, after an internal reorganization, higher-quality and more regular updates will follow with more strict project management, bug tracking, and resource delegation-- all thanks to the lemmy community coming together to make a great app for everyone!

Development & Feedback

The app testing is going well and development is proceeding apace. We’ve heard tons of positive feedback, and we’re thrilled to hear that everyone is loving the app. We’ve also been listening to all of your excellent feedback. We’ve put everything into our Issue Tracker on our GitHub project page, and we’re working through them, along with all of the bugs you’ve been reporting and new features we’re planning, and we’re working on a huge update for our next beta, which we hope to release very soon!

So, keep testing, stay excited, and check back here for updates, and discussion about the Mlem App!

Cheers!

– The Mlem App Team
