I had a beta who was very reserved in providing any feedback. Then she started giving some feedback that was kinda generic but didn't quite make sense either. Eventually she told me she hadn't actually read my work but if I could format it for iPhone she'd try harder.
Uh, yeah. It's frustrating and annoying, and I wished she had just been honest up front, but in this business you just have to move on. You're right - a harsh but honest critique would have been very helpful. Oh well...
You know, that really bums me out. When I agree to beta somebody's work, I take it very seriously! If I got something that I couldn't read...for whatever reason, I feel like it's my duty just to tell the person, be honest about the situation and move on. It's not fair to just leave someone hanging!
