I believe (could be wrong) that Test Flight is only for Apple users. Didn't know you could use the same phone to test. But that furthers my point that little things like that should have been mentioned. Or perhaps maybe it was and I missed it due to ESL. In any other industry in the world they test the technical writing with real users and see what questions pop up and what needs to be made clearer. I know magic is a small market but it doesn't cost anything, just let some friends watch/read the instructions. It's not cost, it's simply laziness that it so often neglected in the magic market. Anyway, my apologies for being so grumpy sounding about this. Just one of my pet peeves. I'm certain it is a great app! |

Oh no, you make good and fair points for sure. Hopefully it plays well for you at least!

Videoman, I had the same question about TestFlight a few pages back.
Seems that you do need to keep it on your iPhone. I almost deleted it after seeing the Now app, glad I checked first. I had some of the same set up confusion for the exact same reasons lol.

There is a good reason why many people have full time occupations as an editor or proofreader. By either taking 2 sentences to very briefly explain why having a shorter username is advantageous AND also allowing it to be changed by the consumer in settings, and 99% of the manual changes that Mariano now needs to do would be gone. I guarantee you that simply having 3 people do a test run through following the instructions and I would bet that all of these common issues would have shown up and could have been corrected. Anyway, it's a great app (I think) so that is the last of the complaints from me about the set up (I hope). |

Everything you’ve said was polite, constructive, criticism.
Didn’t come across in a bad way at all imo, just honest observations. That’s what the Cafés supposed to be for

So my initial tests were not very good.
Tried 'The Simpsons' and was getting 'Spongebob' for some reason. Not sure if it is my writing tbh. Will mess around with it more. |

I think you’re initial review is a great way of pointing out some of the barriers that each person may come across because we all learn different. There is one thing I would like to recommend. You mentioned that you hadn’t watched the entire video. I’m willing to bet that if you had, it might have been a little easier to navigate. We were just talking about this very issue a couple days back, in the Facebook group. . It’s pretty important to know how it functions for the most part. I’m also guilty of not watching the entire video at first. And I think I know why you weren’t as successful when practicing. Feel free to message me and I’ll see if I can help in that area. If it’s what I think, I believe I may be able to help. When it comes to TestFlight, I have a few apps that require the use of it. So it’s something I’m familiar with. But I can totally understand the frustration. We don’t know what we don’t know . I do hope that it ends up working out for you. I feel really bad for your situation because my review made it seem so simple. Only because I didn’t have the same challenges as you my friend. If you reach out to Mariano, I’m 110% sure that he will have no issue with answering any amount of questions you may have. |

To be fair to everyone, I can imagine how this can be "finnicky" in some conditions and not others. But to be fair again, I honestly haven't had any issues and get the right reveal every time. This is a brilliant tool to always have on you.

If you try the app with the "Screen Off" toggled, you can see the recognition in real time. I was super impressed with what its able to pick up.
Overall, this is a fantastic app with a really great input method. The download is also extremely thorough with a lot of ideas covered. I would absolutely recommend this (and this comes from someone who also owns Inject). |

Not sure if this would work as I don't own the app but if you can't hide it paint it red but you could do a center tear and see it and write it down letter by letter to reveal it and as a kicker show your prediction correct and to input it you could take a picture of them with it. Not sure if it would work but an alternate possible method.
