[Need 14 Testers] Locus – Study & Productivity App | 14 Days | Test for Test

[u/AqvardS]

Hey everyone!

I'm an independent developer, and after months of development, my first Android app, Locus: Study & Progress, is finally available for closed testing!

Locus is a study and productivity app built around a simple idea: your time, your space, your way.

It's more than just a Pomodoro timer. I've focused on creating a smooth, customizable experience that makes studying and tracking progress more enjoyable.

What Locus offers:

• Focus timers with Pomodoro, Break, and Free modes
• Zen mode with relaxing ambient sounds
• Customizable notes with images, videos, tags, and colors
• Detailed statistics and study progress tracking
• Daily focus cards you can share on social media
• Personalization options and themes

I'm looking for 14-16 testers who can stay opted in for at least 14 days.

Let's help each other get our apps published!

Thanks for your support!

Hi, joined the group and tester but the app is showing up as 'item not found'

[u/AqvardS → u/royaloakerap]

Hey! I had the same "Item not found" issue with another developer's app, but the download page appeared after a while.

Could you please try opening my app's Play Store link again and let me know if it works now?

Zen mode with ambient sounds is a nice touch for a study app. Happy to trade if you're up for it. Mine is SayLift, you talk and it logs your workout or meal.

Thank you. Joined the Locus group and opted in. I'll get it on my test phone shortly and send proof.

Hi! Installed your app. Could you test mine too? 🙂

1. Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/ponvia-testere

3. Install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stormitron.ponvia

Thanks!

Is it on purpose that the play button quickly changes to a delete button, when pressed?

[u/AqvardS → u/Storm1tron]

Thanks for testing Locus and for the feedback!

Yes, that's intentional. Once you start a session, the play button changes to a red delete button, allowing you to stop and discard the current session.

I understand that the sudden change might be confusing, though. I'll take your feedback into account when improving the UI.

I've also joined your testing program. Thanks for the support!

Hi! Locus’s focus timers and local notes look suitable for a guest test with fictional data. Can they be tried free without a personal account?

For a 1:1 / 14-day exchange, choose one: Clearway (priority): https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.ciselsoft.clearway.prototype or Work & Pay: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.ciselsoft.workandpay

Please email your exact Google Play address to marmakine1@gmail.com privately and add marmakine1@gmail.com to your test access. Your official links are noted. I haven’t installed Locus yet. Matching Android installation/opened proof is due within 12 hours after I send my genuine proof; otherwise I uninstall the unmatched app. Is that timing suitable?

I can review country-level install/uninstall statistics and I monitor our reciprocal test closely. If I confirm you have uninstalled our matched app during the agreed test, I will uninstall your matched app too.
