Safari and iTunes are updated.
Probably it will look better if they make the animation a little bit slower.

Do more people have issues with the Mail app constantly freezing? I've been having it since beta 2, and it seems to be recurring in beta 3 as well. 
I know it's a beta, very well aware of that. But I was hoping that beta 3 would fix it. Not sure if anyone else has been having the same problem? There could be another reason for it after all.

I’ve been usung the PB for a week now. I love it except for the bugs it has and that fact that it slowed down my computer which is noticeable(2017 13”MBP)
People are posting bugs and all. But... Why are people not talking about the beta slowing down performance!?
Is this common for betas(never used one before) which gets fixed in official release?

So its not only me.
There is a new gatekeeper too. This time it is version 146:

You can check which version you have installed with this command in Terminal:
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleShortVersionString" /private/var/db/gkopaque.bundle/Contents/Info.plist

Please <SOB> this will be made available to beta testers soon. OMG. Messages, FaceTime, and Mail still horribly broken.
Still stuck on beta 1. OMG.

Yes, it is common for a beta to be slow(er) than normal, given all the logging scripts that are put in a beta.
The reason a people of people aren't talking about it on here, is because many people understand what beta software is. They aren't expecting it to be as fast as final release software.
Adjust your expectations accordingly.
Overcame the occasional quirks caused by using the keyboard shortcuts, like the text in some menus changing when holding down Shift and showing up that way in the screenshot. But this doesn't become a problem very often.
Yes. It's very common. There will be major slowdowns, lots of bugs, and plenty of missing or partially implemented features. That's the point of betas.
APtwo is a major major no-go, a non starter, mia in OS X, absent t ballet, burnt beyond recognition, kill -9, shorted the stock, toast
Too bad my very capable mac mini with AMD graphics is not supported.

Is spotlight still not opening apps?
Does the lockscreen still show a different state of the dynamic wallpaper than the desktop?
It seems that the safari login bug is fixed, from what i read on this forum.
Are stacks still lumping every desktop file within a single ‘other’ stack?

Really delighted that apple have also released a full installer for beta 3 too. To get it just run the beta access configuration utility which opens the system updates system preference pane. Don't just open it yourself because that just gives you the delta update.
Anyway I was lucky because I backed up after downloading the full installer but actually updated the normal way, i.e., I didn't use the full installer to update but did it via the delta - basically because it is faster. BUT the reason I was lucky is because after updating via the delta update, the full installer disappeared! I expected the pkg files to disappear from the /Library/Updates folder, but I didn't expect this process to also delete the full installer too from my applications folder!
However I was able to retrieve it from my backup and made a bootable usb installer of beta 3.
So if you update via the delta but also download the full installer I would suggest backing up before updating.
Also you can copy the full installer to an external drive - but importantly DISCONNECT THE DRIVE BEFORE UPDATING.
I would be very happy indeed if they make full installers for ALL betas. Previous mac os betas certainly didn't which was sometimes frustrating. Who here remembers the ridiculous thing of having to install 8 deltas in the proper sequence in order to get to the latest beta? That was terrible. Windowsesque actually and we certainly don't want that. So if we get full installers for all mojave betas that would be awesome.
However be very careful to back them up before updating.

OK - we're getting there. The only issue I have is with Little Snitch. Until you upgrade to their latest nightly build, you cannot use internet connected apps, including Safari. Funny enough Google Chrome works...
On my fully loaded 2014 MacBook Pro all is fine and all apps are working. I am a photographer and have tons of small graphics applications, as well as utilities unique to Nikon.
And, I wish someone would post more dynamic desktops

Hhhmmm, not all true. I remember instances in the past when some betas were faster then the final release. Still a valid point to discuss.
