In all 500 messages I did not find HOW to sign UP?
Maybe somebody will be so kind to explain?
You failed the first test, so were ruled-out 
Clicking the image in post #1 takes you to a web page with a âsign up for betaâ button in the top right, which pops-up a form for you to complete.

Well, Iâm not looking for easy ways
Hi Guys,
Its been so long I have lost the plot with the web version of Blynk - I am signed up for beta but still waiting. Can someone tell me what the roadmap will be for the web version for your average user ?
Cheers
Kev
Please, describe average user
Hi Kev,
Iâm not sure about the timetable, but Iâll tell you what I knowâŚ
The first 100 beta testers are supposedly currently testing - although Iâve only seen GitHub issues from about half a dozen people.
Iâm one of the initial group, and we were invited to a webcast where @Pavel gave a high-level demonstration of the system. As part of that he said that the full launch date for the new Blynk was was âI think the end of Aprilâ.
At the moment, only the Android version of the beta app is available, which is a real pain for me! The iOS version was due to be released on Friday, but that didnât happen.
I donât want to say too much more, because the system is still a beta version, but the end of April seems an extremely realistic launch date as far as Iâm concerned. The Blynk developers are working very hard on bug fixes and improvements, but to me it feels like there is a long way to go yet.
The plan is to invite more beta testers on board at some point, and hopefully that will include more of the forum regulars who are more up to speed with the app and C++ programming. One of the comments above was that the next tranche will be 1000 users, but hopefully that was a typo!
At the moment, there is no test plan, and no way of feeding-back on what features have been tested and found to be working satisfactorily. This approach of âhere you go, try to break itâŚâ is fine, provided you have sufficient diversity of accomplished users who will try all sorts of projects, but even then it would still be difficult to know what has been tested and what hasnât.
Thereâs still no indication of how pricing will work in the final version, or what features will be paid-only.
The current web version doesnât mimic the app, and there are only a few web widgets available, but as I said, this is the beta version so all of that may change (but will obviously need further testing).
Pete.

Thanks for that Pete most helpful. So is the new ios app linked to the web release somehow, as I, like you, use ios for all my blynk apps?
Cheers
kev
The iOS app currently has some bugs that werenât fixed in time for the planned release at the end of last week, so Iâm using an old and knackered Android tablet which is driving me nuts!
Hopefully the iOS version will be released soon 
Pete.

who has already tested the new app? How about it?
The app is different in the way that itâs laid-out. No more projects, templates are used instead.
There are a few new widgets, but nothing that had made me say âWow!â
Some functionality can only be done in the web browser at the moment, such as configuring datastreams (which are what you attach your widgets to, instead of analog/digital/virtual pins).
There are some nice datastream features, such as defining ranges and invalidating displayed data if it is out of date)
Donât forget though, this is the beta version and things will almost certainly change.

Iâm very disappointed !
We were waiting for scalable fonts , image buttons and gauges, nothing new !
I try landscape too ⌠lol
Not Wow at all 
OK, we have a dashboard now, but no local server.
Wait and see

There are scalable fonts, there is a new Image Button and Icon Button widget and there are new gauges.
Itâs just that these things arenât the things that make me go âWow!â 
There is a landscape split screen feature, but Iâm using a very old Android 7" tablet and it probably isnât the best platform to get the most out of that type of functionality.
Donât forget, Iâm an iOS user and am really struggling with this crappy old Android device! Even basic navigation takes three times longer than what Iâm used to!

So, better to use the old blynk app until this one provides a better one. 
Scalable fonts are only available for value display and labeled value.
Image available for the image button only
It is just the beta version, I think other improvements will follow - based on feedback and when development time allows.

Thnx for the info @PeteKnight , but we were told 12 months ago that Blynk 2.0 was already in prod with commercial customers, and that part of the delay for makers was the lack of time to create doco, support etc . . . now that the 2.0 beta has launched the iOS doesnât even work . . . so who are these commercial customers, and what have they been using for 12 months? if even the basics arenât ready for makers?
Symptomatic of the whole organisation - zero credible communication. Nothing stacks up here at all.

Business customers donât have âconstructor appâ. We build a project for them and release an âexportedâ app based on that setup. For the Beta we have to introduce the âconstructorâ within the âExported appâ. So Beta app is mix of âConstructorâ (old blynk app) and âExported Appâ (new blynk app).
Beta app is something totally new and different. It will work for all use cases - business, prototyping, app export.
The next big update to the Blynk Platform is app publishing. Ability to publish own products/templates that will be available to the end users via Blynk app. So all Beta changes were done in that directions.
