Today, we are releasing Azurite Fitness Beta 6 to our already registered beta testers. This release includes a few new features along with improvements and bug fixes from beta 5.1. Now that pre-registration is open, the beta can no longer be signed up for until release, but the beta program will continue.
To find out what is new in the core Beta 5 release, checkout this blog post!
Here is what's new in version 1.1.2 (9980)
Language support
In todays release, we are pleased to announce that we will be starting to support different languages. We are starting that support today with Polish, however not all strings will be supported to start with. We will be rolling out more translations over time to ensure the best experience, as well as more languages in the near future.
Insider Access
Today, we are rolling out our new Insider Access program which is built directly into the app! We want to ensure that all of our users have the chance to see what's coming and what we are working on. We will therefore be making new features available early to Insider Access users to try out and submit feedback on. All of our releases will go out to open beta users first as well, meaning that our beta users will have access to these new features even sooner!
To ensure the best experience for all of our users, we have built insider access with two distinct levels of access that we believe will be the most appealing to different user groups.
Full Access has been designed to keep Insider Access available to all new features at all times. This means that every time you use the app, you will have access to all the latest and greatest features. However, we are adding an opt out button to the Dashboard to ensure that users can opt-out easily if they are experiencing issues that impact upon their experience.
Session Access is aimed at the more curious user, who wants to see what's coming. without the risk of permanent impact on their user experience. We do this by enabling beta features only for the session you are currently in. Once you close the app and reopen, you will be back to production only features.
We hope that the insider access program will give all of our users the access level to new features that suits them and provides peace of mind that we will ensure new insider access features do not impact. their overall experience.
We will inform users in our blogs of any features being made available on the Insider Access Program, so do stay tuned!
Other fixes and improvements
We have made improvements to how strings are utilised throughout the app.
We have done a lot of work on the backend to ensure the best experience possible.
We have now separated out the What's New from Help & About and added a page for it in settings. We will be introducing changes to Help & About in a future update.
We have added a slight shadow to text on buttons throughout the app, plus added shadow to the text in the My Motivation card.
We have made changes to improve errors across the app. You should notice fewer toasts and more issues reported inline. This work is ongoing and we will be making further improvements in upcoming releases.
We want to thank all our early adopters again for their ongoing support of Azurite Fitness, and we want them to know that all their support is massively appreciated. We have a long way to go but we are sure that we will be able to deliver on our promise on something for everyone in Azurite Fitness as we work into the future.
Keep up the hustle,
Tim C.
