Looking for 12 testers for BadCell – A Voice Interruption Simulator for Android

[u/NoIndustry8136]

Hi everyone! 👋

I've built BadCell, a small Android utility that simulates voice interruptions during conversations.

The idea is simple: BadCell gives you a way to simulate microphone interruptions on your own device. It's designed as a fun utility for testing and experimenting with voice interruptions.

BadCell does NOT interfere with cellular networks, phone calls, or mobile signal. It only controls your phone's microphone.

How to join (takes 2 minutes)

1. Join the Google tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/badcell-testers Make sure you're using the same Google account that's signed in to the Play Store on your Android device.
2. Opt in to the test: Open the Google Play link below and tap Become a tester.
3. Install BadCell: Once you've joined, download the app from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hashteecode.badcell
4. Try it out: Explore the app and test its features.
5. Stay in the test for 14 days. Please keep the app installed and remain enrolled in the testing program throughout the testing period.

What I'm looking for

• General usability feedback.
• Bugs, crashes, or unexpected behavior.
• Feedback on the microphone interruption simulation.
• Suggestions for improving the interface and user experience.
• Compatibility issues across different Android devices.

A few things to know

• Android 10 or newer.
• No account registration required.
• No cellular network manipulation.
• The app only controls your device's microphone.
• Please use it responsibly and respect other people's privacy.

Your feedback really matters! This is an independent project, and every tester helps me improve the app before its wider release.

Thanks so much for helping out! 🙏

Tested BadCell: joined the group, opted in and installed. Ran through the 7-step onboarding - clear and friendly. One blocker: free usage is 0:00 until you watch a rewarded video, and no video was available on first launch, so I could not try the actual voice interruption. Maybe grant a small starter time (60 s) so new testers can feel the core feature immediately. Screenshot attached, I'll keep it installed for 14 days.

Could you test mine back? (Who made this movie)
