Guess I should have worked harder in the Kakuro beta :) Actually, I'm most looking forward to seeing the "brain" series appear on the iDevice (Brain School and Brain College), but I'm always up for a rousing game of Sudoku. I'll have to remember to check out your beta forums more frequently.

Yes but only via our site. I switched off the PM thingy here as it gets too confusing for me if I have more than one in box anywhere :) Also there was a risk I would miss valuable PMs here and there's nothing worse than thinking you're being ignored so ... do it via our site ;0)

Hope I can also join as one of the beta testers for the Sudoku app. (Got a free code from Mastersoft a few years back for testing Kakuro (PPC).

Cheers!

Thanks for the opportunity to not only test applications, but also the chance to get a free iPhone (which I do not have... just a 1G iPod touch). I've emailed my device ID and username (two separate emails) to the address and will look forward to hear back from you.

Many thanks again!

Mastersoft

05-01-2009, 11:51 AM

Big thanks for the huge response! Just a quick reminder that I need your ID (that you have created on our website) and the 40 character UID of your device (you can find this by clicking on the serial of your device in iTunes). I need both of these together, preferably in the same email, then I can add you straight away ;0) There are still a few places left (but not many!).

GatorDeb

05-01-2009, 08:54 PM

Connect your iDevice to the PC, go to iTunes and click on the iDevice, then click on Summary if not already there, then single click anywhere on the Serial Number line, there it is.

You can't copy and paste. I typed it up once, then e-mailed it to myself so that I can easily find it and copy and paste it now.

05-01-2009, 08:55 PM

Connect idevice to computer.
Click on serial number
on PC: do ctrl+c
on Mac: idk+idk (sarcasm) I really dont know how.
And you have it!

Just a quick update to let you know that I have added everybody that sent me an ID from our site and a 40 character UID. If you haven't received a confirmation email then either you've antispammed my email or you were missing an ID, UID or both. There are still a few places left ;0)

We have just made a new Kakuro update available in the beta forums at our site. If you have recently joined us as a beta tester then you will be able to try it (we have added all new testers to the provision). Beta testers get to test all new software ;0) Hope you like it!

Do you actually READ anything? I said "maybe he never got the email", not "maybe you didn't send it". Just because someone sends an email doesn't mean the other party will actually receive it. That's happened to me many times.

Personally, with an attitude like yours I couldn't see anyone wanting you on a beta team.

Sorry, I just got impatient. I'm just not used to beta testing. I've only beta tested like once so I thought I was going to get a email sending me the two file attachments via ad-hoc. I just want to help because I want to play an app that is not even in the app store. Even if I was chosen to win any prize this time, I would not accept it because I am happy with beta-testing.

Please, Mastersoft, let me try.

PS: You know that you can do 100 spots for ad-hoc, right?

Actually, Mastersoft doesn't send out attachments for their betas. They usually just have a thread on their own forum where you can download the files. They may not be wanting to fill all their slots up because they may give some of them to press (though they'd be better to answer that one than me). No hard feelings I hope, I just get kind of bent out of shape sometimes when people strike me as rude, especially when they're giving a good company like Mastersoft a hard time. I've been beta testing for them for a while (back when they were Pocket PC developers even), and they have a good report with their beta testers.

Thanks for saying sich nice things PointOfLight! I try my best but sometimes get overwhelmed. However in this case that testing account was set up ages ago :)

I have about 80 slots filled but there is are certain restrictions upon adding new ones when you hit 100, even if you delet old ones.

Hope you're finding lots of bugs (or not LOL) !

Well, I haven't found anything yet, but then I didn't know the beta was actually available until today :o I really need to start checking your forums more...

True, I can get updates when a thread I've posted to has been updated, but there's nothing I'm aware of that will notify me when a new thread has been created (which of course is always the case for new alphas / betas!)
