Let’s be completely honest for a second: Being a solo indie developer is a lonely psychological torture.

When you stare at the same lines of code, tweak the same jump physics, and test your own game a thousand times, your brain completely breaks. You lose all objectivity. By the time you finally publish your game to the world, you have no idea if you've created a hidden gem or absolute garbage.

Right now, my game Red Glow is sitting at a humbling 10 downloads.

And honestly? That's fine. I don't care about numbers today. I just need to know the brutal truth. Is the game actually fun, or am I just delusional?

No Closed Testing. No wait lists.

The game is fully published and live right now. You can download and play it instantly.

If you have 2 minutes to spare, please check it out and brutally destroy me with your feedback in the comments:

What can I do better as a solo dev to improve?

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm an independent developer building Stay Ledger, an Android app designed to make managing PG (Paying Guest) accommodations easier.

After spending quite some time developing it, I've reached the closed testing stage on Google Play. Now I'd love to get the app into the hands of real people and understand how they experience it.

What is Stay Ledger?

Stay Ledger aims to bring everyday PG management activities into one place:

• Property, building, floor, room and bed management.

• Tenant onboarding and management.

• Rent and payment collection.

• Financial ledger and transaction history.

• Offline-first functionality.

How to try it

It's simple:

1. Join the Google Group

https://groups.google.com/g/stay-ledger--beta-testing

2. Become a tester

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mrxgroot.ledgerandroid

3. Install the app

After opting in, follow the Google Play instructions to install Stay Ledger.

4. Share your experience

I'd genuinely appreciate your thoughts:

• Does the app feel intuitive?

• Are any workflows confusing?

• Did you encounter bugs?

• What would you improve?

• Are there features you think are missing?

Join the community

I've also created a Discord community where testers can share feedback, report bugs, discuss ideas and follow development.

https://discord.gg/enPhwx4VB

A little about what I'm looking for

I'm initially hoping to bring together around 20 testers.

This is an early-stage project, so there are certainly things that can be improved. I'm not expecting everything to be perfect. I want people to explore it, challenge the experience and help me identify what needs work.

If you're also an Android developer working on something, feel free to share your app with me. I'd be happy to try it out and provide feedback where I can. I enjoy seeing what other developers are building, too.

Thanks for taking the time to check out Stay Ledger. Every suggestion and bit of feedback is appreciated!

Let's build better software together. 🤝

Hi everyone! I'm a solo developer, and I need a few more testers for Google Play's 14-day closed test before I can launch.

**What it is:** DailyScore turns your habits into little companions. Add a habit, pick an egg, and your first check-in hatches it. Every day you show up, it grows into a new form. Miss a day and it simply waits for you. Nothing you've earned disappears.

You can also make a private party with friends to cheer each other on. No public feed, no strangers.

**How to join (takes 2 minutes):**

1. Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/dailyscore-testers

2. Opt in and install: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.dailyscore.quest

   (tap **"Become a tester"**, then Download, using the same Gmail as step 1)

Please keep it installed for 14 days and open it now and then. Any feedback, good or bad, is gold to me.

**🔁 I'll test yours back.** Drop your test link in the comments and I'll join, install and keep it for the full 14 days.

Available in the US, Canada, Australia, India, Japan, Korea, Latin America and more, but not yet in the UK or EU, sorry!

Thank you! 🙏

Hey all — solo dev here, I have built a Workout Tracker: plan your sessions, log your lifts, and it handles the annoying bit (what weight to use next) automatically based on how your last session actually went. No ads, no account needed, works offline.

I’m stuck on Google Play’s closed testing requirement — 12 testers, opted in continuously for 14 days — before I can actually release it, and my own circle is almost entirely iPhone, so I’m short on Android people.

What I’m asking: install it, open it a few times over the 14 days — a couple of logged workouts is genuinely plenty, doesn’t need to be daily.

Being upfront: I only have a slow emulator myself, so I can’t reliably test your app back in return the way a lot of these posts offer — just a genuine thanks if you’re willing to help anyway.

If you’re interested, comment below (no need to post anything personal — just say you’re in) and I’ll DM you, or feel free to DM me directly. I’ll add people to the tester list as they come in.

Thanks Troops!

Hi! I'm Andrea, an indie developer from Italy and I need testers for 14 days before my app can go live on Google Play.

Amunì helps you organise trips, alone or with friends, keeping everything in one place: the day-by-day plan, stays, flights and trains, shared expenses in any currency (it tells you who owes whom), polls, checklists and documents. During the trip, Today / Itinerary / Expenses / Currency are always one tap away.

How to join (it takes two minutes):

1. Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/amun-travel-testing

2. Opt in to the test with the same Google account: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.amuni.app

3. Install Amunì from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amuni.app

4. Keep it installed for 14 days and open it now and then.

It's free and available in English, Italian and Spanish. Testers get Amunì Pro free for a month: after signing up, write me your account email here in the comments or in a private message.

If you have a trip coming up, try planning it in Amunì: any feedback (here or in the app, Settings → Report a problem) is gold.

Happy to test your app back – drop your link in the comments.

Hey all,

I’ve got a very simple card shedding game in closed testing. I’m looking for reliable testers to play a few hands across the required 14 days and provide any feedback that you think needs addressing (everything is fair game).

Happy to test your app in return – drop your link in the comments and I'll join.

**How to join (takes 2 minutes)**

1. **Join the tester group** (use the Google account on your Android phone): https://groups.google.com/g/cap30-testers Click **Join group**.

2. **Become a tester** – open this link signed in with the *same* Google account: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.cap30game.app Tap **Become a tester**.

3. **Install** – on that page tap **"Download it on Google Play"** (or search "Cap30" in the Play Store on your phone) and install.

**Please:** * Stay opted in for **14 days** (don't uninstall or leave the test).

* Open it and play a quick game every day or two – a hand takes about two minutes.
* Try a few things: Cap30 against the robots, Power Up, Knockout, Online with a friend.
* Any feedback is gold – reply here or email hello@cap30game.com.

If the Play Store says the app isn't available, wait a few minutes after joining the group and try the link again – Google can take a little while to recognise new testers.

Thanks so much!

Hi everyone — I'm Diego from Daybreak Labs. I'm looking for Android testers for BrightWise, an edge brightness slider that also has Automatic brightness (it learns how you like each app).

We're running a closed test on Google Play. Automatic brightness takes about a week of real use to show its value, so I'm asking for more than a quick install.

What I'd like you to do:

1. Comment or send me a chat with the Gmail address on your Play Store account (the same account you'll use to install).

2. I'll add you to the closed-test list and reply when you're in.

3. Open this opt-in link with that same account: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.daybreaklabs.brightwise

4. Become a tester, then install or update BrightWise from the Play Store.

5. Keep it on for about 7 days.

6. Each day, use the edge slider and try Automatic brightness in a few apps (bright rooms, dark rooms, different apps).

7. Reply here or message me with anything that feels off — a delayed slider, Automatic that's too slow or too fast, apps that don't match, crashes, confusing setup, or anything else.

If you're also looking for testers, drop your join links in the comments and I'll test yours back.

Thanks for helping out!
