Here’s another excellent post by Dr. Drang on the responsibilities of a beta tester.
It’s kind of cool to be running a beta app, but there’s a responsibility, too. A responsibility I can’t live up to anymore. I just don’t have time to put into writing good bug reports.
I particularly liked this line:
I’ve never been burned by using a beta, but then I’ve never installed a beta of iOS or OS X.
It reminds me of that time a week ago when Bob uninstalled all his iOS and OS X betas for the fifth year in a row and shipped his Apple Watch back to Apple so they could wipe it saying,
“This is the last time I install a beta until next year.”
Good times.
