Beta Benefits & Rewards
What you get, what we ask, and why it matters
We’re a small team building CURA around real feedback from people like you. Beta testers aren’t guinea pigs — you’re co-designers. Here’s exactly what that looks like.
🎁 Direct Benefits
-
Free PRO access for the duration of the beta — no credit card, no trial clock. Use every feature, unlimited. -
Hardware assistance. In some cases, we can help with specific hardware devices to get you up and running with the right setup. -
Recognition and rewards for contributions. Founding member discount, profile badge, and acknowledgement for testers who help shape the product. Rewards may include Flickr Pro accounts, tablets, or a display.
⚡ Indirect Benefits
-
Direct line to the dev team. Not a support ticket — a real conversation. Tell us what’s broken, what’s missing, or what would make your day. -
Free consultation to help you with your specific environment and goals. We’ll work with you to map out the best setup for your space. -
First access to new features before they go public. You’ll be using Flickr integration, Samsung TV, and smart home controls weeks or months before anyone else. -
Shape the product. Features you ask for get prioritized. Several current CURA features exist because a beta tester asked “can it do this?”
⏰ What We Ask
-
10 minutes to initially set up. Connect a phone, tablet, iMac, or TV. Upload your own photos, connect to Flickr for your images, or use the CURA Gallery. Use our wizards, give us feedback (ok, that may take a little longer). -
Use it when you feel like it. We’d love for you to use the system as much as you can and interact with us often, but there’s no quota. We’ll also respond to you as much as we can. -
Tell us when something bugs you. A quick reply to an email, a sentence or two. Did we miss something? Is there a capability you need? “This was confusing” or “I wish it did X” is perfect.

Depending on what areas you’re working on with us, you’ll receive specific information, instructions, and guidance. These may need more of your time to get things set up, running, and to report issues. But you may leave or stop using the system at any time — no cancellation, no awkward email.
❓ Common Questions
Do I need a Samsung TV? ▼
Well, yes — if that’s what you’re testing! But CURA Display works on any screen with a browser: phones, tablets, iMacs, Android TVs, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV, and of course Samsung TVs. You can start with whatever you have.
Do I need a Flickr account? ▼
No — only if you want to connect Flickr content to CURA. CURA has its own storage and can sync with your images on your phone or iCloud photo store. You can also browse the Flickr public gallery without an account.
Will I be charged when the beta ends? ▼
No. Beta access is completely free with no credit card required. When we launch, beta testers get a permanent founding-member discount — but you’ll choose whether to subscribe. Nothing automatic.
How much of my time will this take? ▼
Well, setup can take as short as 10 minutes. But testing and enjoying CURA as it runs can distract you — from watching TV shows, to enjoying a visual show of your preferred photos and art while listening to your favourite music for hours.
Can I leave the beta anytime? ▼
Yes, instantly. Stop using it, or email us and we’ll remove your account. No questions, no guilt trip.
