Google allows developers to publish apps in an early development phase, called alpha or beta versions. Such apps are not release-ready yet and therefore they may contain critical or non-critical problems. A beta app is in a more advanced developer phase than an alpha app, but still is not finalized.

Beta users can get a first impression of new features and can provide valuable feedback for the further development and bug fixes. This way we can quicker narrow down the potential issues and altogether release the official update sooner.

To access the beta of BC 2 in the Google Play Store you have to add our Business Calendar 2 to the apps you want to get early access to first. When you join the beta test, you can then automatically download new beta versions of Business Calendar 2 in the Google Play Store as soon as they are published there.

Hint 1: You will recognize that you are currently testing beta by the app's icon. You will see a little "β" symbol in the lower right corner of the icon. If you don't see it, it means there is either no beta currently available or you need to install the beta update from Play Store.

Hint 2: If you want to leave beta, proceed as above and click on the → Leave button in the beta section.
