I can't see that they can delay.

Appics have already completed their ICO and are slated as the first SMT. They're currently on ERC-20 I believe, waiting to transfer across to SMTs once they launch.

The launch of the app is waiting on SMTs and surely they've had some sort of confirmation and assurance from Ned/Steem Inc that SMTs won't be delayed.

SMTs is slated for Q2/Early Q3.
Appics is slated for Q3/Early Q4.
Patience is all we need here.
Cheers!~

Let's just hope they are able to deliver on time :)

Appics have clearly stated they will use their other system that will be independent of SMT.

Steemit being in beta is a thing of the mind. Its more like saying that they are still experimenting to find what will work in the long run.

When they feel like they have gotten to the final product, they will bring it out of beta.

Its independent of SMTs. They will release it soon. Just stay tuned.

Hey! So I'm quite new and absolutely love this idea - It acts as an additional quality curator and further incentivizes genuine human interaction. I have a few questions though,
