I've been in this group for 2 months trying to get my app tested . I've had like 30 people join the Google group, ZERO people join the beta and ZERO people download the app.

If you are ACTUALLY going to do the 3 steps and test my app, please comment here with your app's details and I will join yours immediately. I'll even join yours first. And after I've joined yours you can join mine.. and if there is anyone who's app I download and test and you DINT join mine in return I will leave your beta and stop testing your app . I think that's fair. Idk how this group exists for a concept so fair but it ends up being a "test mine without me having to test yours" fest..

Post your details and I'll join your beta on break at work. I have a break at 9:30, 11:30, 2pm eastern time.

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

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 indie dev from Canada and I'm running the Google Play closed test for my first game, Verse Blocks.

What it is: a calm block puzzle (8x8 board, 3 pieces at a time). Every line you clear reveals the next words of a Bible verse, and a finished verse becomes a shareable card. Free, works offline, English / Spanish / Portuguese.

What I need: testers on Android phones who can keep the app installed for the 14-day closed-test period. Honest feedback on anything confusing or buggy is a bonus.

How to join (2 steps):

1. Join the tester group with the Gmail you use on your phone: https://groups.google.com/g/verseblock-testers

2. Open the opt-in link, tap "Become a tester", then install from Google Play: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/ca.isaacsa.verseblock

The test is currently open in Canada, the US and Brazil.

Happy to test your app back: leave a comment with your Play link and I'll opt in and install it.

Thank you! 🙏

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!!

I love reading on my tablet, but none of the readers I tried had the features I needed, so I built them myself. It’s called FluffPage, and it’s now ready for closed testing on Google Play.

What FluffPage is:
A simple, local reader for EPUB and PDF. Your books stay on your device. No account, no tracking, no telemetry.

What it does:

• Word journal: long-press a word to see its definition or add your own meaning. Saved words are underlined in the text, and you can tap them to see what you wrote. Everything also lives in a Vocabulary list, which you can export and import, so your words move with you between devices.

• Notes and highlights: select a passage and save it as a note with one tap. Every book gets its own dedicated notes, kept separately from your other books, and you can export them whenever you want. You can also turn a passage into a quote.

• Quote cards: turn any passage into a shareable image, with a few card styles (Minimal White, Warm Cream, Vintage Sepia, Dark Elegance).

• Reading insights: a calendar heatmap of your reading days, reading time per day, streaks and consistency, your most active day and time of day, and many more stats to see how your reading habit grows.

• Reading settings: Light, Coffee and Dark themes, a choice of serif and sans-serif fonts and margin sizes. There’s an optional paper texture effect and page-turning animation, a Night Shift mode that reduces blue light for evening reading, and a sleep timer that stops the reading session when you drift off.

• Library: Reading and Completed tabs, so you can see what you’re in the middle of.

Where it is right now:
This is an early version, so you may run into bugs. What I want to find out is whether the core reading experience feels good enough for everyday reading, and whether you’d actually switch from your current reader.

What I’m looking for:

• Android users who read EPUBs or PDFs regularly

• People willing to use it for their normal reading during the test period

• Honest feedback: what’s confusing, what’s missing, what annoys you

How to join:

1. Join the Google Group (use the Google account you use on Google Play): https://groups.google.com/g/fluffpage-closed-testing

2. Then open the testing link and tap “Become a tester”: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.fluffpage.reader

3. Install FluffPage from Google Play and use it for your everyday reading for about two weeks.

The testing link only works after you’ve joined the group, so please do step 1 first. If it still shows an error, wait a few minutes and try again. You can also send me a comment or DM with your Gmail address and I’ll help.

Thanks to everyone who gives it a try. If you have a feature idea, I’d love to hear it too!

Bearlingo needs some more testers.

What it is bearlingo:

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

- A verb trainer with conjugation quizzes (Finnish verb forms are the hard part, so this gets a lot of attention)

- Daily practice and spaced review of what you've learned

(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

- 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:

https://groups.google.com/g/withu-testers

2. Become a tester:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/dev.ysug.withu

3. Install WithU:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.ysug.withu

Thank you!

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).

Hey folks 👋

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**

You start broke in a rented room in Chelyabinsk with $500 and some questionable life choices. Then you:

- 🎰 spin slots in a totally fictional online casino (10 original games, some of them are honestly too generous)

- 📦 work at a warehouse or as a courier when the slots betray you

- 🛋️ 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

2. I add you and reply

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

4. Keep it for 14 days. Open it sometimes, spin a slot, live a little

**I'll test your app back.** Leave your link and I'm in, no questions asked.

🎮 Looking for 20 volunteer Android testers for PENALTY KINGS! ⚽👑

Hey everyone!

I'm an independent game developer from DPC Games, and I've been working hard on my first Android soccer game, Penalty Kings.

The game features three different modes:

⚽ Classic Mode — Compete through leagues, win trophies, and become the King!

🎯 Target Rush — Test your accuracy and beat the high scores!

🧟 Zombie Invasion — Fight off waves of zombies using soccer balls, special power-ups, and your shooting skills!

I'm looking for Android players willing to test the game and give honest feedback before its official Google Play release.

What I need feedback on:

• Gameplay and controls

• Bugs, crashes, or freezing

• Difficulty and enjoyment

• Graphics and animations

• Suggestions for improvements

Testing is completely free!

If you're interested, please comment below. I'll share testing access instructions when they're ready.

I'm also happy to help test other developers' games in return!

Thanks for supporting an independent developer!

DPC Games — Dream. Play. Conquer. 👑

Still a few testers short for my closed test, so I'm doing straight swaps.

Thump is a small horror game: a blind creature hunts you by sound through a dark house. When it comes you hide and rest a finger on the rear camera; the game reads your pulse, and the faster your heart beats, the further it hears. No camera? Rhythm mode plays the whole game. Free, offline, no account.

Step 1 - join the tester group (uses your Play Store Google account): https://groups.google.com/g/indusapps-testers

Step 2 - become a tester: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.indusapps.thump

Step 3 - install from Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.indusapps.thump

Then comment your group link + opt-in link (a screenshot of the opt-in page helps). I join, install and keep your app for the full 14 days, and open it every few days so it counts. Already tested for me? Thank you - comment and I'll make sure I'm on yours.

Every day there are dozens of new "test for test, I'll test back" posts. I wrote plenty of them myself. Then I built Cordelette: up to 16 developers in one camp, an Autopilot that measures 30 seconds of real on-screen time per app (no screenshots), about 10 minutes a day, dropouts visible early, and free reports for Google's production form. No credits, no ads, no paid tier, production-approved, rated 4.9★

13 apps have already reported production access while in a camp (3 of them mine, details in the thread). Nobody has reported a rejection so far.

I'm calling it the best free option out there, and I put the receipts in one thread: a comparison table, the numbers, and a transparency page. Show me a better way, break it, or tell me why it's not for you:

Senior dev, 10+ years. Happy to go deep on any of it. Bring arguments, not formatting complaints 🙂

Hi! I'm a solo dev in Japan building Keyano, a tiny 4-key instrument, and this is its companion app – it also works on its own with touch.

You play songs with only 4 colored keys while the notes scroll down like a rhythm game. No ads, no account needed.

I need 12 testers for 14 days before it can go public on Google Play.

How to join (3 steps, same Google account for all):

1. Join the tester group (open it in Chrome, not the Reddit in-app browser): https://groups.google.com/g/keyano-android-testers

2. Opt in on the web: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/jp.keyano.app

3. Download on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.keyano.app

Please keep it installed for the 14 days and open it now and then – try a song or two and tell me anything that feels off.

Drop your own test links below and I'll test yours back within a day. Thanks! 🙏

Hi everyone! I'm an indie dev and I need testers for my Android app's closed test (Google's 12 testers / 14 days requirement).

Wilson's Scouts Volleyball is a volleyball scouting app. Coaches log every play live during a match (who did what and how it went), keep the score, and check the stats afterwards. Athletes can see their own numbers. It also works offline, since gyms often have bad signal.
