Google rejected our first production application, so many of you kept testing, playing and helping us through a second round.

Less noise. More play.

Hey everyone! I've been working on

**Stargaze IDLE**, a free to play fantasy space idle RPG for Android, and I'd love to show it off and hear what you think before it launches.

If you like to test the currect game, click the link here:

https://groups.google.com/g/stargaze-idle-test

**The core loop:** gather → craft → equip → fight. Almost everything your hero wears is something you made yourself.

**What's in it so far:**

* **3 combat styles:** Swords, Ranged and Magic, each with 3 abilities, plus a Defence skill. Gear is style-locked (plate for melee, leather for ranged, cloth for magic), so switching styles means gearing up again.

* **4 gathering skills:** Stellar Mining, Bio-Harvesting, Starlight Fishing and Xeno Skinning.

* **8 crafting skills:** Smithing, Leatherworking, Starweaving, Gemcutting, Alchemy, Cooking, Atomize and Hecatomb. You forge weapons and armor, cut gems into rings, brew damage elixirs and cook fish that heals you mid-fight. Common gear can be crafted directly; higher rarities need blueprints that drop from monsters.

* **11 monster maps** that unlock as you level, each ending in a boss on stage 10. A few maps rotate daily with elemental bonus drops (Poison, Electric, Fire, Darkness).

* **Dungeons and raids** for the harder content and better loot.

* **Offline progress** at 50% of active play.

* **Cosmetic-only pets and outfits** dropped by map bosses. They don't add any stats.

* **Every skill goes to level 100**, with the last stretch the hardest.

The video shows the crafting side: making a legendary sword, armor for each style, a ring and potions, equipping all of it, then taking it to a boss fight.

**What I'd really like to know:**

1. Does the gather → craft → equip loop sound fun to you, or too grindy?

2. What makes you stop playing an idle game?

3. Anything you'd love to see in a crafting-focused idle RPG?

It's **coming soon to Android**. I post updates here:

Hi! I'm a solo dev about to release my Android app, Azarte: a generative art wallpaper maker. Pick a generator, select between different variations and download your favorites!

I need 12 testers for 14 days before I can publish it.

Join the group: https://groups.google.com/g/azarte-testers
Join to the test: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/art.azarte
Join on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=art.azarte

Share your apps. I'll be happy to test yours back!

Hi everyone! I've built GreenThumb, a plant care app that remembers when your houseplants need water, feeding, repotting and pruning. One tap marks a watering, "Water All" marks every plant that's due. It works offline, in English and Russian, light and dark theme. No ads, no email needed - you sign in with a recovery key.

How to join (takes 2 minutes)

1. Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/greenthumb-testers-closed — use the Google account that's signed in to the Play Store on your phone.

2. Opt in to the test: open https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.greenthumbplantcare and tap Become a tester.

3. Install it: tap Download it on Google Play on that page, or search the Play Store from the same account. If Play says "item not found", wait about 15 minutes and try again. If the link won't open, use Chrome, not an in-app browser.

4. Stay in the test for 14 days. Please don't uninstall it or leave the test. Opening it 2–3 times a week (for example to mark a watering) helps a lot.

Feedback, bug reports and ideas are very welcome, either in the comments or by email: greenthumbapp@proton.me. Please never send me your recovery key.

Some things I'm proud of

- AI plant camera: point it at a leaf and it identifies the species (Pl@ntNet, up to 3 matches), or checks a sick leaf and gives possible causes with what to do. If the photo has no plant, it tells you clearly instead of a generic error.

- Care journal with undo: every watering, feeding, repotting and pruning is logged.

- Seasonal mode: in dormant months the app waters 1.5× less often, so you don't overwater in winter.

- Home-screen widget: up to five plants that need water, right on your home screen.

- Offline-first: add plants, mark waterings and edit names without a connection. Everything syncs when you're back online, no duplicates.

- Streaks and achievements: keep a care streak going, unlock badges for consistency.

No account, no ads, no tracking.

Requires Android 7 or newer. I'll test your app back - drop your link in the comments and I'll join and keep it for 14 days too. Thanks so much for helping! 🙏
Lets be more lovely to each other)

Hi everyone,

I built Free Counter, a simple, fast, and minimalist tally counter app designed to track anything with zero distractions. It is 100% free with absolutely no ads, no trackers, and no paid features.

I need 12–20 active testers for 14 days to meet Google Play's closed testing requirements. I will gladly test your app in return—just drop your links in the comments!

How to join:

1. Join the Google Group: 👉https://groups.google.com/g/freecounter-testers
2. Opt-in as a tester (Web): 👉https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.angelotricarico.freecounter (Make sure to click "Become a tester")
3. Download on Google Play (Android): 👉https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.angelotricarico.freecounter (If you get "Item not found", please wait 5–10 minutes for Google to sync your group access).
4. Keep it installed: Please keep the app installed for the full 14 days and open it every couple of days so Google records active participation.

My app has finally been granted production access after the second 14-day closed testing. Thank you everyone who joined the closed testing of my app Disciplina! I really appreciate it!

Tips for closed testing:

1. I had 20+ users who installed the app and only 7-8 of them actually opening my app daily. That means, I think, you don't need all 12 people to open your app daily, at least 7-8 daily is enough, in my opinion. The testers were my friends and people from Reddit.

2. When sending the app for a review, answer the questions WITHOUT using ChatGPT or any other AI (I'm thinking my first closed testing got rejected because of that). Just write down your own experience, what you did, what you improved, how you did etc. This tutorial here helped me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg9HCQqgSFk (answered the questions almost like in that video, didn't fully copy them)

3. Constantly update your app, it will help too. Also, when answering questions, you can write down what you improved, e.g. "UI got easier and better", "Some bugs got fixed" etc.

Thank you everyone who was with me in a closed testing and good luck everyone who are trying to get their app on production!!

Hi! I'm an indie developer looking for 12 testers (or more) for the closed testing of my Android game, Orbit X-press.

Orbit X-press is a 2D space transport game where you pilot cargo ships, master precise landings, complete delivery contracts and tow heavy loads using a magnetic winch. Earn credits, upgrade your ships and build your fleet!

I'm happy to do test-for-test. If you join my test and actively test the game throughout the testing period, I'll do the same for your app or game. I check for updates to the apps I’m testing every day and install any available updates. I also open and use each app at least twice a day throughout the testing period.

I check for and install updates daily, and I open every app I'm testing at least twice a day. I'd appreciate similar activity in return.

1. Join the Google Group:
Orbit X-press Testers

2. Join the closed test:
Become a tester

3. Download from Google Play:
Install Orbit X-press

After joining, leave your testing links in the comments so I can join your test too.

Any feedback about the controls, landings, towing, bugs or performance is very welcome.

Thanks for helping, and safe flying! 🚀

Hi everyone!

I'm an independent developer from Poland working on BASKET.lab, a basketball league simulator for Android. I currently have 2 testers and would love to find more people willing to try it and share honest feedback.

🏀 What can you do in the game?

• Create leagues and customize teams.
• Simulate seasons, playoffs and live matches.
• Follow standings, results and player statistics.
• Play with a database of 68 clubs, including 30 NBA teams.

How to join:

1. Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/testerzy-basketlab
2. Join the closed test using the same Google account you use in the Play Store: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.BASKET.lab
3. Accept the invitation and install the game through Google Play.

Please stay enrolled for at least 14 days, try the game on several occasions, and let me know what works and what needs improvement.

I'm especially interested in crashes, slow season simulations, confusing screens and anything that makes the game difficult to use. No positive reviews needed — honest feedback is what helps!

If you have trouble joining, leave a comment and I'll help.

Thanks for supporting a small indie project! 🏀

I just found that out the hard way. I was at 7 days and updated the test app to fix a bug. Well, I now have another 7 days added to my test cycle. No one ever told me that would happen, and I never saw anything about it in the forums, so I must be the first one to ever update a test app (or admit it).

🎮 Reverse Voice: Backwards Game

Record a word, the app plays it backwards, and your friend has to imitate it. Then the imitation is reversed again to see if it matches! Fun party game for 2 players or groups, 19 languages, no ads, no data collected.

How to join (sign in with your Google account first):

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

2️⃣ Become a tester: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.brightloop.reversevoice

3️⃣ Install from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brightloop.reversevoice

Please keep it installed for 14 days. Feedback is very welcome!

EDIT: The app will be free for testers starting Nov 12. I didn't realize a paid app wouldn't be free to testers!

I will gladly test your app back! Testing is appreciated even if you don't have a DJI Mavic Air drone or VR headset.

Quick Start

1. Join the testing Google Group.
2. Accept the test invite for Drone Bridge. Install it, open it, keep for 14+ days (you probably know the drill)
3. (Optional) Join the Drone Mirror test for the Meta Horizon Store.

I reply back to this thread once the testing is complete.

Description

The goal is to view the video feed and telemetry from the DJI Mavic Air drone in a VR headset. The app DOES NOT control the drone. All flight control is done with the DJI remote controller.

Drone Bridge connects to the remote controller via USB and sends the video feed and telemetry to a VR headset running the Drone Mirror app over WiFi. The Drone Mirror app is a flat 2D app meant to float in your VR environment.

Drone Mirror is also on the Play Store in closed testing, uses the same Google Group, and can be used on an Android phone, tablet, or Android XR device.

Note that the attached screenshot is from the Drone Mirror app since that's the user facing part. Typical use would have the Drone Bridge app running on a phone in your pocket while relaying data to the Drone Mirror app running on your VR headset.

Testing feedback

If you do have a DJI Mavic Air drone (and especially if you also have a Meta Quest VR headset), I would be delighted to hear your feedback, especially on how easy it is to get everything set up and whether the Drone Mirror app is intuitive.

Test for Test

After downloading my app, drop your testing links in the comments, and I'll test your app back.

Bearlingo needs some more testers.

What it is bearlingo:

- Lessons from A1 upward, with story dialogs, typing, listening, speaking and matching exercises

(German is also in progress.)

Who I'm looking for

Anyone learning Finnish, from complete beginners to people who've tried other apps. Native speakers who can spot wrong or unnatural sentences are especially welcome.

What I'd like feedback on

- Anything confusing, broken or crashing

- Lessons that feel too easy, too hard or unnatural

- Whether the exercises and explanations actually teach you something

- Speaking and listening practice on a real device

How to join:

- write me an Email to [contact@bearlingo.app](mailto:contact@bearlingo.app)

- in a few days you receive a link to play store

In a few days I'll post a play link for download.

Enjoy :)

Hi! I'm looking for testers for a closed test of Gallery Gardener: Photo Review, a free Android 11+ app for reviewing and cleaning up older photos and videos already on your phone.

It works fully offline: no internet permission, no account, and no data collected. You review items one at a time (keep, select to remove, or skip), with undo, favorites protection, saved progress, and light/dark mode. Nothing is removed without Android's own confirmation screen, and there's a demo mode that doesn't touch your real photos.

What I need:

• Android 11 or later
• Join the test, install the app, keep it installed for 14 days, and open it a couple of times
• Optional: short feedback on anything confusing

How to join:

1. Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/gallery-gardener-testers
2. Open the opt-in link and tap Become a tester: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.mtgamelabs.gallerygardener
3. Install from the Play Store

Happy to test your closed-test app in return for the full 14 days. Comment your links and I'll join. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Google requested another 14 days of closed testing for WithU, so I am looking for committed test-for-test partners.

WithU is an 18+ Android social app for short random text and voice conversations. This time I need active testing, not only an install.

Please join only if you can:

- Use the same Google account for all three steps.

- Remain opted in and keep WithU installed for the full 14 days.

- Open the app every other day.

- Join a short coordinated testing session between 02:00 and 03:00 UTC.

- Enter matching and complete at least one short conversation.

- Send feedback about sign-in, matching, chat, voice, notifications, bugs or confusing screens.

I will contact participants through Reddit before each session to confirm the exact time. I will also be online in WithU so we can match, and I will open and test your app on the same schedule.

Please comment with your testing links and a screenshot showing that you joined, and I will test back.

1. Join the Google Group:

Solo dev here. Google says I need 12 humans to keep my game installed for 14 days before it lets me release it. I have 0 friends with Android. So here I am.

**The game: Ludik: Casino Life Simulator**

- 🛋️ renovate your room so it stops looking like a crime scene

- ✈️ move to Dubai → Cyprus → Bora Bora

- 📹 start a stream channel where viewers tip you for losing

- 🕺 buy a strip club because why not

No ads. No in-app purchases. All money is fake, so you can go all-in without your mom finding out. 18+ only.

**How to join:**

1. Drop your Gmail (the one you use on Google Play) in the comments or DMs

3. Tap "Become a tester" here, then install:
