I have developed a new GPS application that enables golfers to get accurate yardages using their existing GPS-enabled Pocket PC (or Windows powered Smartphone).

There are no extra bells and whistles to get bogged down with at the moment, just a simple to use application to help you get the best out of your golf game.

I am currently looking for beta-testers to test the application in-the-field (so to speak) and in return, I'll give you a 50% reduction on the price once it goes on sale.

If you are interested in helping with this beta-test, please send the following details to beta-test@mcaddy.co.uk:

    Name

    Location

    Golf Club Member (if yes, where?

    If not, courses you play most often

    How often you play

    PDA/Smartphone details

    GPS Hardware details


Thanks

But will anyone come forward & admit they play golf Laughing

I've alway said there's noone more sad tha someone who enjoys golf, enjoys, gardennig or enjoys washing cars except someone who enjoys all three Laughing Laughing

Still, it's a funny old world.

Hope you get your beta testers.

I have done beta testing for 5 different companies (and still do - have done this 11 times so far in the last 2 years), all have a forum for the testers to report bugs if and when found, and also a FTP site to log into to get the latest versions as the software progressed, but ALL provided a full version of the software to the beta testers after final release, and the software ranged from £19.99 up to £59.99

Thanks for your reply's guys (well, not sure about yours LiveLifeGoJump! Wink).

I would love to be able to give a full copy to each and every beta-tester but I am not a big multi-national company. I am also not limiting this test to 1 or 2, I would like to get a high number of testers with a broad range of equipment so that the software can truly be as useful (and bug free!!) as possible.

As an added incentive, I will run a prize draw at the end of the test and 5 lucky testers will receive a full copy.

Regards


Paul

Hello Paul

Three of the companies that I do this for started with their first product, they are just one off small Flight Simulation companies, the other two have been around for 6-7 years.

The number of beta testers that registered on the forums at each company averaged about 17 for each product test, apart from the main software it'self, we reported on things like did it install correctly, did it uninstall correctly, did it remove all menu items and folders, if it was a product that required a registration code did it work ok, did an update to a product install correctly, etc.

Will your product run on Pocket PC 2002/3/SE, and now Windows Mobile 5 etc.

Lots to think about !
