Testing new releases on your device - test list

[volly]

The following is a suggested list of things to check on a new release to make sure nothing got broken. If you can think of something to add to this list, PM me and I can add it here. If a mod thinks this thread is better suited in a different area, by all means feel free to move it.

It be really great if it was a sticky. (HINT!!!)

Request from everyone - do NOT COMPLAIN in this thread about things you do not like. I will ask a mod to remove any post from anyone that does this. The point of this thread is to provide feedback to Ivan and the devs on our test using the list below of things to check.

How do we remove roads ?

Tap the green “edit” icon at the bottom of the screen.
Tap the road symbol that appears.
Then tap the roads in your city that you want removed.

Moved to guides section.

For it to be a sticky, you need to make a request.

The purpose of this thread is for comments whether good or bad.. You cannot pick and choose which posts you like.

I respectfully disagree. The point of this thread isn't to promote discussion. Its to give a list of all things to test in the game and then give feedback to the developers. I'm looking at this from a end user development point of view. In software development the technical term is called UAT. (User Acceptance Testing). This forum has the largest audience for the game and if I was actually writing the code for this game or overseeing the team that manages the game a resource like this would be quite valuable. It would give a much larger testing pool of data, greater chance to find bugs so they can be addressed, and in the long run improve the game for everyone.
If it is left as a "pull any opinion you like out of your hat whether it is true or not" then from a developer point of view the thread loses most if not all of its value. If you insist on having it wild west style then i see no reason for me to contribute to it any further for it will be a waste of time and effort on my part. Respectfully - You are the moderater so of course the call is yours to make. I have no desire to disagree further if your above-mentioned position stands.
