Joining the SnippetsLab Appked Beta Program: A Comprehensive Guide

Are you eager to experience the latest features and bug fixes of SnippetsLab before they're available in the regular version? The beta program for SnippetsLab Appked is now open to everyone with an Apple ID and running macOS 12 or later. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of joining the beta program, providing feedback while using the beta app, and understanding how iCloud sync works.

Providing Feedback

If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for improvement during your beta-testing experience, there are several ways to provide feedback. You can choose Help > Provide SnippetsLab Feedback… from the menubar or send an email directly to . Please mention the beta version and build number you're using in your email.

Automatic Updates

One of the benefits of joining the beta program is the ability to receive automatic updates for the latest builds. TestFlight will notify you each time a new build is available, along with instructions on what you need to test. This ensures that you'll always be running the most recent version of the app.

Icloud Sync

It's essential to note that the Mac App Store and Setapp versions use different iCloud containers. As a result, the beta app will not sync with the Setapp version of the app. However, SnippetsLab beta will sync normally with the Mac App Store version of the app. Only one app should be running at any given moment to avoid conflict and data loss.

Installing the Beta App

When you install the beta app, it will replace your existing App Store version. The beta app may be less stable than the regular version and may contain additional crashes. By installing the beta app, you agree to automatically share usage, analytics, and crash data with Apple and the SnippetsLab team.

Main Differences between Beta and Regular Versions

The beta version contains upcoming features and bug fixes that are not yet available in the regular version of the app. Some main differences include the inclusion of new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements.

The SnippetsLab Appked beta program is an excellent opportunity for users to experience the latest features and bug fixes before they're available in the regular version of the app. By following these steps and understanding how to provide feedback, you'll be well-equipped to make the most of your beta-testing experience.
