Spoiler: Beta Testing Program

You can also help us by becoming a beta tester for the release candidate versions of c:geo.

Becoming beta tester is just one click away:

Spoiler: c:geo Google Play Beta Testing

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

After you enabled the beta testing mode you will receive beta versions (release candidates of c:geo) via Google Play update on the same way you receive the normal c:geo updates (it might take a few hours after enabling the beta testing mode). Additionally you can send us your feedback and problem reports via a dedicated Google Play feedback form.

Please be aware that beta releases might be unstable or not all functions are working as expected. However before we bring a version into beta testing we do our very best to make sure, that all basic functions are working properly. You will not receive any possibly unstable alpha versions or nightly builds (see next chapter) via this beta channel.

If you wish to discontinue beta testing just use the link above and deselect the beta testing mode. Afterwards you might need to uninstall the beta version from your device and reinstall the normal version from Google Play.

Spoiler: Nightly Builds

You can use our nightly builds to test new features of upcoming versions. They are not for normal usage, as they contain code that is not well tested yet. Only install these versions if you know what you�re doing.

Nightly builds can cause all kinds of crashes and malfunction. Please report such bugs, but don�t expect us to deliver a fix right afterwards. If you need stable functionality, use the normal build.

The version without JIT is necessary for some devices with a MediaTek CPU. If you observe strange behavior in the live map or jumping distances, try the build without JIT.

Please be aware:

Direct downgrading from a nightly version to a production (or beta) version is not possible due to Android versioning restrictions. You need to manually deinstall the nightly and afterwards install the production (or beta) version.

Furthermore also a data backup you made in a nightly version might not be compatible to be restored into the production (or beta) version as the underlying database might have been changed in the meantime.

Please consider this, when using our nightly builds.
