FamilySlate is working — and we're using the Beta to make the everyday experience better.
The Beta is about finding the rough edges before wider release: different devices, real household routines, awkward network conditions and the small usability details that only show up through regular use.
What we're testing
Readability, mobile behaviour, shared displays, pairing, offline recovery and the way optional modules work together.
What may change
Layouts, wording, setup steps and individual features may be refined while the product is still in Beta.
What we need from testers
Use FamilySlate normally and report the moments where something feels unclear, slow, unreliable or harder than it should be.
How to send useful feedback
Inside FamilySlate, open Settings and choose Report a problem / Send feedback. The most useful reports explain the device being used, what you expected, what actually happened and whether you can repeat the issue.
What to expect during Beta
Small interface changes and fixes may appear as testing continues. Some improvements will be almost invisible; others may alter the way a module or setup step behaves.
Keep important source data elsewhere too
FamilySlate is still a Beta product. Information that matters should continue to exist in its original source as well — particularly calendars or other information you cannot afford to lose.

The built-in feedback form is the quickest way to report a bug, confusing behaviour or an idea that would make the app more useful.
