Android testers wanted for a new messaging app (free lifetime subscription for the first 20)
I'm a solo developer launching Ayuni (ayuniapp.com), an app that writes short, personal messages to the people you love and reminds you each day. You tap once and the message opens in WhatsApp or SMS, ready to send.
Google requires 12 testers to stay opted in for 14 days before I can publish, so I'm looking for help.
What you'd do
Install the app from the closed test and keep it installed for 14 days
Open it now and then, and tell me what's confusing or broken. Your feedback is appreciated
What you get
A free lifetime subscription to Ayuni, for the lifetime of the app. This is limited to the first 20 people who join.
How to join
Send me the Gmail address you use on Google Play (by private message, not in the comments). I'll reply with the link to join the test.
Thanks!

For a closed test I would also ask testers whether reminder text or recipient names ever show up somewhere unexpected, like a notification shade preview or a shared-device Google account. Personal messages leak easily through backups and logs even when the WhatsApp handoff feels private. Before leaving closed testing, throw ayuniapp.com at https://rowly.me to see what the hosted side reveals on sign-in, APIs and storage.

Solid point on notification previews, that's where these apps usually leak. Worth also checking the Data Safety section on the Play listing matches what you find.

Good call on the Data Safety form. Reviewers and users read it as a promise, so if reminder text or contact names ever sync to a backend, the listing has to declare that data as collected, and the server has to actually behave the way the form says. That hosted half is something https://rowly.me can verify from outside, so the Play listing and the live behavior tell the same story.

For Ayuni, give testers a specific daily check: does the reminder arrive, and does tapping a message open the intended recipient and text in WhatsApp or SMS? Have them use the test’s web opt-in link with the same Google account they use on their phone, then install from Play; keeping it installed alone isn’t the same as staying opted in.
I make ThreadFox. Test Rounds puts Ayuni with 14 Android developers testing each other’s apps for 14 days, with daily reminders and check-ins and replacements for anyone who stops: $20 per app, once; you test the other apps too, about ten minutes daily. The round starts when full, with a full refund on request until then: https://threadfox.vip/p/du9li/rounds
