With Apple development, Meridian are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Apple control their development platform which limits the number of copies of pre release apps that can be distributed for test purposes.

I may be wrong, but I cannot remember the app that Meridian bought along with them last Saturday repeatedly crashing. So clearly, in one of their controlled environments, their app is as stable as any other app that I have encountered including those bundled with the device such as Safari which on my iPhone crashes regularly. But controlled environments are quite different from being in the wild and unfortunately, Meridians ability to perform a public beta even if they were so inclined, are severely limited.

There is no evidence that Meridian released an app that they knew was highly unstable as people are claiming and to insinuate otherwise is purely conjecture.
