Invitation: Kobo Windows 8 Phone Application Beta Program

hameedn · 03-03-2015, 01:49 PM

Kobo is pleased to announce a new beta program for the Kobo Windows 8 Phone application and we would like to invite everyone that has a Windows 8.1 phone and loves to read to take part in it.
Through this program, we are hoping to accomplish the following:

Get valuable feedback based on a wide variety of real usage scenarios.
You can also tell us what features you would like to have in your Kobo App.
Your valuable feedback will help us make the Kobo Windows application the best reading application out there.

Beta Builds will only be released to the beta participants so you can rest assured that the only difference between betas and the final product would be a bit of polish here and there.
If this sounds like something that you’re interested in, then please send an email to windowsappfeedback@kobo.com with your email address associated with Microsoft Store so you can download the beta builds.

Looking forward to your participation and feedback!

Thanks,
Kobo Windows Team

This sounds good

Is this only for the Windows Phone version or does it include the Metro version in Windows 8.1? (which I believe are both really the same app)

Hello,
If you have a Windows Phone running 8.1 Firmware then you are good. Please reply to the email mentioned above and I will sign you up for it.
Thanks for participating in advance. Look forward to hear your feedback.

I believe what he was asking is if this was only for Windows PHONE or if it also works as a metro app on a Win8.1 TABLET.

It will only work on Windows 8.1 phone and not on a Windows tablet. But the next build we will support tablets as well later in the year.

Hi there!

I use Windows Phone (Lumia 830) and the Surface 3 as my primary computer/tablet, and Kobo is my eBook platform of choice (go Toronto!).

I'd be very interested in providing feedback, since I'm not sure how often you guys read the reviews in the Windows App Store.

Are you still recruiting Windows Phone people?
