Now that Apple have integrated Tesflight into itunesconnect I thought it was time I took a look.
I have fallen at the first hurdle - when you invite a tester to test an app they are told they must have the Testflight app installed on their device, but the Testflight app requires iOS8 or later and if you have iOS7 it seems you can't be a tester.
So my question is...am i missing something and is there a way to use Apple's new Testflight beta testing system with iOS7 users?

To add Internal testers: Navigate back to your app in My Apps, select the TestFlight tab and click Internal Testing on the left-hand side; Now click the (+) sign next to the header Internal Testers; Check the box next to any eligible users who have not already been invited and click Add.
TestFlight do not require UDIDs any more. You can distribute apps with TestFlight without having the UDIDs of all those test devices. Just invite the testers by providing their email addresses. They will be able to join you.
If you'd like to run beta software on your iPhone, then you need to head to the Apple Beta Software Program page on the web. Follow the Sign up link, enter your Apple ID credentials, and then open the iOS tab—you'll see the current beta version of iOS that's being tested at the moment.
To add an internal tester, head to the Users and Access section in App Store Connect. For this example, use your own email address. If you were adding other internal testers, you'd use their email addresses and they would carry out the steps of accepting an invitation. Click the + button to add a new user.
TestFlight supports iOS 8 and up.
You can use TestFlight on up to 10 devices and test multiple apps for multiple developers — there is no limit to the number of apps that you can test simultaneously. TestFlight can be used to test iOS apps on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch running iOS 8 or later. Mac apps cannot be tested. If the beta app does not load on your device, contact the developer.

For the time being, until we'll drop iOS 7 support, we use Crashlytics for all of our beta testing.
I'd also like to add that for a free service, Crashlytics gave us the best support so far.
