 Purpose: road test all things 360; apps, devices, creative ideas
fail fail fail its how we succeed
some are dedicated for 360 spherical others are not but have some aspects that can be used so we test the limits and give feedback to app author and invite them to support the 360 Community
many app authors are collaborating, the enthusiasm drives us
If you get benefit from this my page:
U OWE ME:-> give feedback; faults, improvements or pass the info to help others (Team work).
I dn't focus on spelling mistakes (I welcome voice conversation not text), feedback welcome (a complaint is a gift) about me in feedback link or at top of 360 apps page
About meThe Nutty professor
tests are done as an end user fueled with red wine at all hours of the night and shared here so I can remembered what happened
often the notes are not clear .... its for me and when I get time I'm make it sensible, in the meantime use what you can
I share the info to 360 Community free, my limited time is applied to lab test the product not selling it to you so there is little attention to spelling / grammar and window dressing.. cheers Phill Smith (more on me in 360 app page about me / my 360 stuff in devices my profile)
