Look at it this way: Serif has partially transferred the test resources to us because they don't have enough of them. In return we get a very fair price - and without subscription.I don't want another reward. jmwellborn and Alfred 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrettm30 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 The idea of compensating us somehow is an interesting suggestion, and I do not think it was bad to ask. However, I think the real reward is that we actually have a voice in the development of this app. I sometimes leave feedback for the "big guys," like Apple, but I usually have the feeling that no one ever sees the feedback who can or want to do anything about it. I do not feel that way at all about the Affinity range of apps and their developers. Bugs really do get addressed, and feature requests often do get implemented. It's easier to warm up to software when we have a line of communication with the people behind it. I believe that (A) getting to use unreleased software months early for free, and (B) getting to leave feedback that is honestly considered and often implemented is plenty reward.

PaulEC Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I think that the best reward Serif could give beta testers would be to implement the features that are requested by large numbers of those people! velarde 1 Quote Acer XC-895 : Core i5-10400 Hexa-core 2.90 GHz : 32GB RAM : Intel UHD Graphics 630 : Windows 10 Home Affinity Publisher 2 : Affinity Photo 2 : Affinity Designer 2 : (latest release versions) on desktop and iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Overington Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 The problem with tee shirts with special logos is that they only seem to get made in a limited range of sizes, so people who are not in that size range get marginalized as they cannot participate.

William You all know that I was joking when I suggested a t-shirt, right? Personally, I don't expect anything from the Serif team except another exceptional application at very affordable price. I volunteered to participate hoping that my input would result in a better product. I did that expecting no freebies or other rewards from the Serif team.

Rick G Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 However if someone wants a t-shirt, they have nice iron on material that can be printed with a reversed logo and ... ironed on the shirt of your choice I wonder if the logos are available in a designer file somewhere? The old logos that is as the new ones are too plain and uninteresting. The Designer and Photo splash screens would also make good t-shirt material These might make good free resources for the store Quote Affinity Designer 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Affinity Photo 2.2.2075 beta 2.3.1.2212Affinity Publisher 2.2.2075 & beta 2.3.1.2212 Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS build 22621.1928 Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
