When I try to use the feedback app I get a page telling me to download the latest version of the beta. I am using version 4.0b2, the latest version according to Help>Check for Updates.

Just to be sure I downloaded and installed was was shown as the latest beta. I still received the "you'll need to be on our latest beta" message when I tried to leave feedback.

I have not found a definitive answer, but this is an educated guess. Beta 3 was planned for release on 6th August, but has been delayed a few days. There were similar reports about needing the latest beta for users of beta 1 just before beta 2 was released. I am guessing that the feedback system has an expiry date based on when the next beta is due to be released. So for beta 2 the feedback stopped accepting data around 6th August when beta 3 was planned to be released.
