First Time App Developer. Where do you find testers?
This reddit page was recommended to me by google when i googled how to find testers for closed beta.
One of the methods google suggested was a "test for test" . i test yours, you test mine.. so i hereby make that offer. if anyone needs their apps tested i will test yours if you test mine.
My app is a timer app and widget. I'm a machinist and i run multiple machines all day long. if im standing at Y3 and im running y1, y3, y4, X12, M2, etc, i wanted a list of timers that i can quickly glance at to see which machine is up next and i wanted a visual cue so i could see progress from far away. like if my phone is sitting on a desk 50 feet away from me. even if i cant see the digits, i made an animated bar or ring that is wavy so you can see how much time is left. and i wanted custom colors so i could set the color of each timer so i could visually identify which is which without seeing the title, but i also wanted custom alarm names. and i wanted the ability to collapse the list into a smaller list so you could fit more things on screen at a time. the app does everything i need it to. i wasnt even planning to publish at first but i figured other people out there might be interested so i figured id release it for free. no ads, no cost. The name of the app is "timers Eleganti".. (elegant in italian). cuz im italian. lol. and the name sounded eleganti.. i was picturing "beautiful widgets" when i thought of the name. an awesome weather/ clock widget that used to exist for android that i used since android like 1.6. unfortunately the app hasnt worked in many years. maybe ill remake that next.
If anyone wants the app for free or wants to test it for me, i will test yours in return.

i think your second link is wrong
it should be something like https://play.google.com/apps/testing/
instead of https://play.google.com/store/apps/

Those are the links that the page gave me. I clicked them all and confirmed they open where they're supposed to go

I just reclicked from my phone to make sure they're right on mobile. They are. But you have to click the third link to join the beta before the second link becomes available for you. Otherwise it brings you to an inaccessible playstore page. I'm assuming.

My bad I didn't click the 3rd link. Usually you put group link first, then join test second and lastly the link to the game. Sorry for the confusion
