Welcome to the Overland Bound, OB1 Alpha Test Program.
Please keep in mind this is Alpha Software. This means it is incomplete, and may be broken in some cases. This is expected. There some "Known Issues". If you leave a post and it does not get a response it probably means the post goes into the Known Issue category. I’ll usually “like” the post to show we’ve seen it.
Please provide any specific information about issues you find in this thread.
Known Issue: No work has been done for tablets or landscape mode. It may work, but that's only by chance :)

For iOS Testers:
Testers can now send feedback directly from your beta app simply by taking a screenshot and share detailed feedback with a crash report immediately after a crash occurs. TestFlight 2.3 and iOS 13 or later are required. You can view and manage tester feedback in App Store Connect.
From your app's TestFlight page, click Crashes or Screenshots in the Feedback section in the left side navigation. You can filter your feedback view by build numbers, app versions, devices, iOS versions, or tester groups.
