Update : Please ignore this lead post now. This thread can be used for feedback on the production version though.
Hi guys, if you use the Android client, and would like to help test the new build, then join the Google Plus community below, and you should get access to the new build from a link there.
RHP Beta Testing Google+ Community
Why the need for Google Plus? It is a requirement of the Google Play store to manage beta testers using their tools.
If anyone would just rather I uploaded an APK to the site, and you installed it yourself (not for beginners) then I am prepared to do that too.
Thanks,

As it is, I'll just pull the trigger and go right to production with it with some subsequent releases if need be.

Good to see it. Do we post comments/bugs in this thread or elsewhere?
V. Minor point: as black moving from main board to analysis board flips so white becomes bottom of board. It would be nice if on entry the analysis board looked like the main board.
Keep screen on preference ticked but it times out and goes off. S3 android 4.3.
Once one is up-to-date and no game is "my-move" is it possible to see the games and/or message other players.

I can see a few crash reports (although rare). There too will be addressed, hopefully on next release.

An update is live now (0.2.2) fixing a number of issues. This is not a feature release, but presentation should be marginally improved for tablet users.

Originally posted by BigDoggProblemI have experienced the "crash loop" you describe during development (not since testing finished though), and I would consider it a serious annoyance, so this will be addressed urgently.

Originally posted by BigDoggProblemIs this reproducible, and if so, can you instruct how? I've not had any luck in breaking it in this way with the current version. (Please make sure you are using the very latest build too)

I do not yet have a way to reproduce the crash on cue. It generally happens in areas with poor wireless reception. I will attempt to draw out the failure next time I am in one of these areas.

I allowed the app to send a few crash reports. On a Samsung smartphone I would go to the app after the phone had been inactive for some time. I would tap the RHP icon and it would crash most times out of ten and offer the force close/send report option. It would then be fine on reloading. This would happen whether on home wi-fi or 3G. It seems better with the latest update.
