WP Central

Update: Closed Wow! what a response, I've already had over 200 applicants for the beta so in the involvement of not disappointing too many people I'one thousand closing applications. Please cheque out the video beneath for a demonstration of the app!

Merry Christmas everyone! It gives me great pleasure to announce to you lot that v2.0 of our app will be in beta in time for Christmas day, and I'yard looking for 100 volunteers to try it out.

This build is not feature complete, in fact there are a couple of things in the works which we're not quite ready to testify just yet. However the main purpose of this beta is to examination two of the near important changes we're bringing:

A full comments system with replies (tap and hold an existing comment)
New, customisable alive tile with images on the rear

Aye we were listening and we know comments is the well-nigh requested feature, and thanks to some site changes terminal calendar month we're now finally able to deliver that feature.

Of course that's not all that's changed, and the other things y'all'll notice are...

A redesign of the commodity listings screens
App is at present entirely in the metro theme
The browse section is structured similar to your beginning screen (live tiles within the app are planned...)
Y'all tin can at present load more than manufactures in the news feed
Speed optimizations to commodity loading and scrolling

Non to mention a few bug fixes here and there just for skilful measure. If you'd similar to see these features in action you'll detect a video below.

And then, how practise you get involved in the beta? Just as before I'm looking for 100 applicants, and all you need to practise is fire upwardly your copy of WPCentral, tap the about pick in scan, then "send feedback". This will prepare an e-mail to usa in which you demand to include:

Your name
Your Windows Alive ID (equally used to gear up upwards your windows phone) - this should be a full email address!
Your device manufacturer and model

Invites will be chosen at random and so I tin only apologise if you're not one of the 100, I'll be releasing v2.0 for the public early on in the new year though so the wait shouldn't be long! If you're successful I'll exist sending you a confirmation e-mail with download instructions later on today (around 21:00 GMT I expect), happy testing!
