'MyUK' App Needs Beta Testers

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 26, 2013) — Do you like to try out new apps? Would you like to shape the tools you and your fellow University of Kentucky students will soon be using to access important information?

UK Information Technology is looking for first- and second-year student volunteers to help test a new "myUK" app, which will eventually serve as a mobile portal for the university. The app is currently in the beta stage of development. That means that it is ready for testing, but not ready to be officially released. Beta testers are needed to put the app through its paces and give feedback to developers.

Students interested in being beta testers may sign up online at http://tinyurl.com/b46esb5. You will need an iPhone or iPod Touch to be able to test. Beta testers will be eligible to win prizes in exchange for their participation.
