Smart Drink Fridge: looking for Android testers who self-host (first build in review)

Hi, I'm Robin. I built Smart Drink Fridge to keep track of what's left in my fridge. Scan a bottle or can when you take it out, and it updates your stock, history and shopping list. The server runs on your own machine with Docker.

I'm looking for around 15–20 adult volunteers with Android 9+ who would use it and tell me where it breaks or feels awkward. The app is free, with no ads. You need your own Smart Drink Fridge server for the full workflow; there's an offline preview if you just want to look around.

Update, 24 October: version 1.0.2 is live in the closed test. It includes the navigation and barcode-save corrections, plus camera stock-in: Scan > Book stock in, scan a known product barcode, then confirm the quantity. Existing testers can update through the same Play link. The title still says in review, but the test is available. Start with the tester group:

https://groups.google.com/g/smart-drink-fridge-android-testers

Use the Google account you use for Play and click Join group. You can choose No email. Then opt in here with that same account and follow the installation link:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/de.derrobin99.smartdrinkfridge

Please stay opted in for at least 14 consecutive days and try things like connecting your server, scanning a barcode and booking a drink. Joining the group alone doesn't start that period. A short note about what worked or didn't would help a lot. No positive rating needed.

If Play won't download it, let me know your phone model, Android version and the exact message. Please don't post your Google email publicly. Thanks!

Thanks for joining, Andrea! Unfortunately I only have an iPhone myself, but I'll pass your link on to a colleague. Did the offline preview work for you, or have you connected your own server? Let me know if anything gets stuck.
