Beta Testing Has Begun: Workbook Practice Module Update

With just over a month to go before the new year, our new Workbook practice module is in the beta testing phase! Read on to learn more…  

With phase one of the new workbook practice module (WPM) nearing completion, beta testing is underway. It’s exciting because this first phase of development includes the following functionality: 

• A schedule for the workbook, based on the current date and your chosen lesson
• A reading list for each day of the Workbook, based on what the Course itself says
• The ability to read each part of the list from within the module, and to mark as ‘Complete’
• A summary of practices for each day, based on what the Course says
• A morning reminder which prompts you to move onto the next lesson
• If using the WPM, the image on the homescreen will reflect your current lesson - if not, it will continue to default to the chronological lesson for the year
• Real-time syncing between devices

There is more work to do on this module during December including tweaks to the user interface (the way it looks). We are also expecting to find and fix various bugs during the beta testing, before the app is updated for everyone in time for the new year. 

If you’re interested in joining the beta testing team, we would love to hear from you. Beta testers should expect to encounter bugs, and be prepared that highlights or notes could be affected or lost. If you’re fine with that and would like to test it out, please email us stating which operating system you’re using (iOS or Android). 

As mentioned in our most recent update, this is the first phase of the WPM. Phase two will include practice notifications throughout the day too. We are so looking forward to working on those in the new year and if you’d like to continue to support our development, contributions of any size are always welcomed and appreciated and can be made here.

I’ll provide another update before the end of the year to let you know when the WPM is ready for you to use. In the meantime, all of us at the Circle hope you have a miraculous December.

With love,
Sarah
