We need some Beta Testers for Our New iOS App

We've been working on a new Cathe OnDemand iOS app for the last 2 years and it's finally ready for beta testing. This is not an upgrade to our current Cathe OnDemand app, it's a total redo, built from the ground up.

If you are interested in helping Cathe beta test her new OnDemand 3.0 app for iPhones and iPads, please send your name and email address to [email protected] and we will provide instructions to you for joining the team.

When you receive our reply email, read it on the iPhone/iPad you want to install the app on. In the message will be a link to tap that will install Apple’s “TestFlight” app. Tap this link, install TestFlight, and log into your Apple ID, then tap on “Install” next to the OnDemand app in TestFlight.

Please note that THIS BETA APP WILL OVERWRITE YOUR EXISTING ONDEMAND APP. (You can revert to the old app by deleting the new one, then re-installing the old one from the App Store.) The new OnDemand app will now be installed on your phone.

Next, open it, log into your account, and experiment with as many features as possible. We are looking for feedback on crashes, bugs, errors, etc., but please don’t send changes or additions to app features. The app is now “feature locked,” so anything new will be added to the next version which we will address at a later time.

If the app crashes, please send the report as instructed by your phone. If you find bugs or mistakes, please go to the TestFlight app and tap on “Send Beta Feedback” on the app’s details page (tap on the OnDemand app in the listing on the main page to get there). Do not post bugs or errors to the forum. These need to go directly to the developer via TestFlight.

Remember, while the app is fairly stable, this is a beta version and may crash or have issues. It is to be expected. Your help in discovering these problems is what will make it better!

You should visit the TestFlight app frequently to see if there is a new updated build available for you to install. This will ensure you’re always testing the most recent version.

We appreciate your help to create the best, most stable version of the OnDemand app yet!

Hi aqua girl, I don't remember what the minimum version is, but I'll get back to you once I check on this. But so you know, Apple does not allow two apps that do the same thing, so once this goes live everyone will have to switch as Apple will make us kill the current app.

I’d appreciate it if you would…gosh, I have had OnDemand since about the beginning,
8-9 years….hope it’s not going to be the end for me using app...... Another question: will you still be able to build, view workout blender workouts using a regular computer (chromebook, which is what I use, being able to change it to "lowest quality" which is what I do) although most of the time I do use ipad/app to do workouts at this time, but sometimes use chromebook to do workouts thru website. Sorry for all the questions, but I'm thinking ahead!

Hi aqua girl,

Yes, you will still be able to build and view Workout Blender workouts on your computer just like you do now. The new app will not affect the web version you use on your computer in any way.

Hello Team Cathe,
I sent an email about a week ago to say I was interested. I did get ticket number for my enquiry but I haven’t heard anything since. I assume not everyone who applies will be successful but will I hear back either way?

Hi aqua girl,

I've been emailing the lead developer who is on vacation about your questions, and here is the scoop. The new Cathe OnDemand app will require iOS 16, which means it supports all iPhones from iPhone 8 to the current iPhone 16. It sounds like you're using iOS 15.7 and perhaps an iPhone 7. But can you confirm?

If that's the case you will still be able to use the current app that you are using now. However, at some point in the future, Apple may no longer allow the current app to be used. This may be years from now, but who knows? Apple does whatever it wants to do.
 
I don’t have an iPhone, but two ipads…..both have IOS 15.7……so it looks like I will
be out of luck…… How long until new app is out

why don’t you give them a slightly different name? That way there could be 2

can you share any info about the new app…..like new features, etc…..

Hi aqua girl,

You can't have two apps that do the same thing with Apple, so you can't name them something different. But like I said previously, you can just keep using the app you're using now. From what I understand from Apple we are also allowed to offer a legacy app under our new app label that will automatically download if you don't have IOS 16+. In your case, you wouldn't need to download anything since you already have the app.

The new app has a much cleaner, faster, and a more modern robust interface. The app will keep track of your most recent workouts as well as the workouts you do the most often. Every workout lists the equipment you will need and you can even search for workouts based on the equipment you have.

I think the biggest improvement is in the rotations section which makes it much easier to find the rotation you're looking for and also makes it a snap to pick up where you left off. We've also added the ability for you to change and substitute any workout in the rotation that you want to.
