It’s time for an update on our development progress.

As promised, ClearPoll Beta was released on July 18th on Android. We have received a lot of great feedback and already implemented several updates with minor changes or bug fixes. Over all the response has been great, as you can see here:

For iOS users, we will be releasing the beta shortly. We want to get the Android version 100% right first and then release it on iOS. Why? Because it’s a nightmare making changes to an iOS app. Every little change is reviewed by their team and can take days or even a week. So it’s best to get it right and then do it once. We’re only talking a few days until we submit it for review.

We have had some issues with beta testers not receiving the SMS code. At least 90% of these users are based in India and the problem is not something we can do a lot about. There is a “do not call” registry in India that blocks international SMS messages, and it turns out that almost all users not receiving the SMS, are on that list. As a result, we have deactivated the beta from India for now until we find a long term solution. We are working on it.

A lot of the biggest and best features of ClearPoll are still to come and will be there from launch. The Rewards System, for example. Users do not earn points or rewards during beta testing. Also please note, all data from beta testing, including usernames and account activity, will be wiped before launch. Beta testing is purely for feedback and further refinement. Beta is still using our testnet.

You may have noticed we have released the names of 15 stars to date. These are people who are intending to use ClearPoll Star Polls once we launch. They will be using it by choice, and we have more coming soon. Stars are unlikely to be using the app during beta, so we have put some team members on as stars so that you can see how it all works.

Due to the persistence of the bear market, we are able to hold off a little on marketing until closer to launch. This should actually help us to concentrate the attention on launch and get some great momentum rather than a slow burn over the beta period. Any star promotion we receive will be once we have launched, so that general public can respond. ClearPoll is not a crypto specific project, it is a mainstream application. For that reason, most of our marketing is aimed at gaining users. Gain and retain users and the success of ClearPoll follows (including trading volume). This is thanks to the rewards system and also all revenue flowing through POLL tokens.

We will continue to give updates as we progress towards launch. We have a lot left to do, but it’s all going very well.

Thanks for your continued support.
