Beta Version

The general flow of additions to the app go in direction Beta -> Stable. Basically, any additions, be they corrections or new features, are published as Beta so that it is available for testing and feedback by whoever is interested and contributing in that way. As soon as issues are identified, a new version will be published. This means the updates are frequent for the Beta version and it can be unusable at times due to introduction of new or incomplete features. That is also the main reason for splitting the distribution into two separate apps / distribution channels. This way users can have both Beta and Stable installed at the same time and using the same database.

Once the Beta version has been tested for a period of time and most if not all issues ironed out, and new features polished, a Stable version will be published. This version will be reasonable stable and safe, and the updates will be a bit less frequent and hectic from now on.

So, my recommendation for most users who wish to assist with development of the app, is to use the Beta version and report any issues you encounter with it. If it ever becomes unusable due to bugs/exceptions, you can fall back to the Stable version. This way you can help me out with identifying any issues caused by adding and modifying features and make sure that those issues don't make it into the Stable release.

Beta version is available as a separate app on Play Store - link.
