The Best Tapa is currently in Beta

The Best Tapa is in an active stage of development.

The version you are using is a public Beta, created so users, venues, and participants can try the service in real situations while we continue to improve it.

This means the main features are already available, but some parts of the app may still change, improve, or behave unexpectedly.

By using The Best Tapa during this stage, you also help us build a more stable, clearer, and more useful app.

What is the Beta for?

Testing an app only during development cannot reveal every situation that may arise in real use.

The Beta lets us:

  • check how the app works on different devices and browsers;
  • find errors and unexpected behavior;
  • understand which features are most useful;
  • improve navigation and ease of use;
  • verify participation, voting, and ranking systems;
  • analyze performance and stability;
  • test new features before releasing them more broadly.

During this stage, some features may change significantly based on what we learn.

What does using a Beta version mean?

A Beta version is a working app, but it is not yet considered a final version.

You may occasionally encounter:

  • errors or failures;
  • pages that do not display correctly;
  • temporary slowness;
  • features that are unavailable for a period of time;
  • differences between devices or browsers;
  • changes to the interface;
  • features being added, changed, or removed;
  • incomplete or temporarily outdated information;
  • interruptions during maintenance or updates.

We work to reduce these problems and fix them as soon as possible.

Data may change during the Beta

During this stage, we may change the app's structure and internal workings.

In exceptional situations, this may involve:

  • correcting inaccurate information;
  • recalculating certain data;
  • changes to profiles or content;
  • resetting information used only for testing;
  • removing technical data that is incompatible with new versions.

We will try to keep relevant data whenever possible.

However, during a Beta we cannot guarantee that all data generated during testing will remain exactly the same until the final version.

Voting, rankings, and results

The Best Tapa may include voting systems, rankings, preferences, or other mechanisms used to generate results on the platform.

We monitor these systems especially closely during the Beta.

If we detect technical anomalies, duplicate votes, invalid activity, or processing errors, we may need to carry out checks, corrections, or recalculations.

When data is used for official results, the organization's established validation procedures will apply.

For this reason, seeing data in the app during the Beta should not automatically be taken as a final or official result.

Frequent updates

The Best Tapa may be updated frequently during the Beta.

Changes may affect:

  • design and interface;
  • navigation;
  • authentication;
  • user profiles;
  • venue pages;
  • content;
  • voting;
  • rankings;
  • notifications;
  • search systems;
  • performance;
  • security;
  • analytics and measurement systems.

Some changes will be visible immediately, while others will only affect the platform's internal workings.

Tests and experiments

During the Beta, we may run controlled tests to compare different versions of a feature or interface.

As a result, two users may occasionally see:

  • different text;
  • buttons in different positions;
  • different ways to navigate;
  • features available only to some users;
  • different versions of the same page.

These tests help us understand which solutions make The Best Tapa easier and more effective to use.

Technical information and usage analysis

To improve the Beta, we may collect technical information about how the app works.

For example:

  • device type;
  • browser;
  • operating system;
  • pages visited;
  • interactions with certain features;
  • technical errors;
  • loading times;
  • information needed to identify problems.

We use this data to analyze performance and improve the user experience.

The processing of personal data remains governed by our Privacy Policy, regardless of the app's Beta status.

Security

We also apply technical and organizational measures to protect the service and user data during the Beta.

However, no computer system can guarantee the complete absence of errors, vulnerabilities, or interruptions.

If you notice unusual behavior, a security issue, or a suspicious situation, we encourage you to tell us.

How can you help?

One of the main goals of the Beta is to receive feedback from real users.

If something:

  • does not work;
  • is unclear;
  • takes too many steps;
  • seems inconsistent;
  • could be improved;
  • or is simply missing;

your feedback can help us a great deal.

When reporting a problem, please tell us if possible:

  • what you were trying to do;
  • what happened;
  • what you expected to happen;
  • which device and browser you were using;
  • and, if useful, include a screenshot.

This makes problems much easier to identify and resolve.

What happens after the Beta?

The Beta is not only for finding errors.

It also helps us understand how people actually use The Best Tapa.

What we learn during this stage will help us decide:

  • which features to improve;
  • which parts to simplify;
  • which new features to develop;
  • which parts of the experience need rethinking;
  • how to improve stability and performance.

Some experimental features may change or may not be included in the final version.

Using The Best Tapa during the Beta

By continuing to use the app, you acknowledge that:

  • you are using a version that is still in development;
  • some features may contain errors or limitations;
  • the service may change and be updated frequently;
  • some data may be corrected or recalculated;
  • certain features may change or disappear;
  • temporary interruptions may occur.

Your use of the app remains subject to The Best Tapa's Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.

Thank you for taking part

The Best Tapa aims to create a more participatory experience around local food, venues, and the people who are part of it.

The Beta lets us improve this experience using real information about how the app works.

Every visit, comment, and suggestion helps us improve.

Thank you for being part of The Best Tapa Beta.
