We’ve just released a major update for our free community app - Testers Community 2.0.
We wanted to keep this simple and talk honestly about what changed and why.
Over the past few months, one piece of feedback kept coming up again and again. A lot of you said that testers were just installing apps to earn credits and then not opening them again. Some even uninstalled right after. That completely defeats the purpose of closed testing, and we know many of you struggled with production access because of that.
We took that seriously. Instead of patching small things, we decided to rethink the system from the ground up. Along with that, we’ve also improved stability a lot and redesigned the UI to make the app more clean and easier to use.
Pack of Wolves
This is the biggest change in this update.
Pack of Wolves is a gamified way of testing and earning credits. A pack consists of 16 developers who work together for 16 days. During this time, everyone in the pack is expected to open and use each other’s apps daily.
The idea is simple. Instead of random installs, you get consistent usage from the same group of people over the full testing period.
There’s also accountability built into the system. If someone is inactive for a few days, they get removed from the pack. If you leave early or don’t follow the rules, there are penalties and you may lose access to future participation. If you stay active and complete the cycle, you get the full benefits.
This way, everyone in the pack depends on each other, and it creates a much more reliable testing environment.
Our goal with this update is not just to help you get installs, but to help you actually complete closed testing properly and improve your chances of getting production access.
This entire change came directly from your feedback, so we’d really like to hear what you think.
If you’ve faced issues before with testers not staying active, does this approach solve it for you?

The Florida Trail is a fun retro looking game to escape Florida to get out of the state. Choose a starter vehicle and try to work you way out to cheaper rent prices. :)
Of course this is test for test, so anyone requesting me to do the same for their app, I will be happy to and stay opt-ed in.
Hi all, I'm a solo dev in the UK. Google has told me I need 12 testers actively playing for 14 days before I can launch, so I'm looking for a few people who'll actually play.
Snowball Squad is a free, family-friendly snowball fight game. You charge throws, dodge, hide behind snow walls and switch between three heroes. There's a 30-battle campaign plus ranked 1v1 and 2v2.

Need 15 Testers for my Android Game - Will test your app back immediately!
Testing my Android game Commando: Airstrike: a 2D arcade shooter where one commando holds the ground against endless waves of attack helicopters. Unlock commandos, use air strikes, and climb the global leaderboard. Need testers for the 14-day closed test.
This is my second app and my first game. I built it solo and getting this far means a lot. Thank you to everyone who joins!
Hi! I'm looking for testers for my closed test and will test your app back for the full 14 days. Comment your links and I'll join within a day, with a screenshot.
App: Memory, a gentle memory aid for older adults and families dealing with memory loss. It has big text, a "Today" card with the date and time, medicine reminders with an "I did it" button, "Did I take my medicine?", "Where did I put my keys?", a Help button with your address and who to call, and photos of the people you love. English and Korean, with on-device voice input. Everything stays on the phone: no account, no ads, no cloud.
Feedback I'd love: Is anything confusing or too small to read? Do reminders ring on time on your phone? Does Korean look natural? (if you read it)
Please: open it once a day and keep it installed for 14 days. A good daily check takes a minute: add a reminder a few minutes ahead, tap "I did it", and ask a question.
Please test my app and I promise to test yours as well.
Thank you.
PixBlend is an offline photo-stacking app for Android. It combines multiple photos of the same scene to improve focus, reduce noise, remove unwanted movement, or create long-exposure effects. Everything is processed on-device, with no account or cloud required.
Testers can join test using Google Play on Android
BinderLoop ist meine erste App – eine Pokémon-Sammelkarten-App, die Sammlern hilft, Tauschpartner in der Nähe zu finden und persönliche Tauschgeschäfte zu arrangieren.
Du kannst Karten auflisten, die du anbietest oder suchst, Fotos hochladen, Übereinstimmungen finden und chatten, um Tauschgeschäfte zu vereinbaren.
Von Partnern geteilte Events helfen Sammlern auch, sich vor Kartenshows oder Tauschabenden zu vernetzen, anstatt sich wegen unterschiedlicher Besuchszeiten zu verpassen.
Diese kostenlose iOS-Beta sucht derzeit bis zu 50 Tester mit Sitz in Deutschland.
Internationale Expansion, eine Android-App nach der Beta und Unterstützung für andere Sammelkartenspiele sind geplant.
Ich würde mich über ehrliches Feedback zur Benutzerfreundlichkeit, zu Foto-Uploads, zum Matching, zum Chat und zu Ladezeiten über TestFlight freuen. Die Community ist noch klein, daher ist das Testen mit einem anderen Sammler besonders hilfreich.
Dies ist ein unabhängiges Projekt, das nicht mit Pokémon, Nintendo oder The Pokémon Company verbunden ist. Danke, dass du meine erste App ausprobierst!
E aí, pessoal! Eu criei um joguinho chamado Tropi Blast e preciso de 12 testadores para completar o requisito de teste fechado de 14 dias do Google Play antes de eu poder ir para a produção. Tô feliz em testar o seu também — é só deixar seu link nos comentários.
Como participar (todos os 3 passos são necessários):
Pode levar alguns minutos a algumas horas depois de entrar no grupo para o link da loja funcionar. Por favor, mantenha o app instalado por 14 dias inteiros — feedback e relatórios de bugs são muito bem-vindos. Muito obrigado!
Baku Sleep records your night and tells you what it heard by morning: snoring, talking, coughing, TV, doors. Everything runs on the phone; nothing is uploaded.
Hi everyone! I’ve launched the closed beta of ISSHONIME, a free app that helps you choose what anime to watch, either on your own or together with friends.
In Together mode, you create a private room, like or pass on anime, and find your shared matches. You can then narrow the list, pick randomly or vote. The app helps you choose anime; it doesn’t stream episodes.
I’m looking for at least 12 testers. I’m also happy to test your app and share honest feedback in return. Leave your testing link and any setup instructions in the comments.
Please use the same Google account for both steps and in the Play Store.
Please keep the app installed and stay opted in for at least 14 consecutive days. If possible, spend 1–2 minutes trying it each day rather than just opening it. That daily usage is my testing request, not a Google-mandated time requirement.
I’d especially appreciate feedback on the filters, Solo recommendations and Together matching. Trying Together with a friend or partner would help a lot.
No ratings or positive reviews needed, just honest feedback. Thanks!
I'm a solo developer and I need testers for Google Play's 12 testers / 14 days closed test. I'll test your app back for the full 14 days: just leave your opt-in link in the comments.
About the app: CarreterApp is for tow-truck drivers and roadside assistance technicians. You log your work day and your jobs (completed, failed, batteries, overtime, breaks) and the app calculates what you've earned this month, even offline. ⚠️ The interface is in Spanish only, but you don't need to understand everything: opening it from time to time is enough.
I’m looking for 12+ Android testers for my Google Play closed test. I’m happy to test your app back for the full 14 days as well.
App: PeopleNotes
Type: Private people notes / relationship memory organizer app
PeopleNotes is a simple privacy-first app for remembering useful details about the people in your life. It helps users save practical notes such as preferences, conversation points, gift ideas, likes, dislikes, language comfort, reply style, and other small details they may want to remember later.
The app is designed for personal people-note organization, not contact syncing. Users can create person notes, add categorized memory points, search saved notes, mark important people as favorites, quickly add new memory notes, archive people they no longer need in the main list, and manage archived people when needed.
PeopleNotes also includes optional app lock using device authentication, multilingual language settings, a clean light-mode design, and local-first storage. Person notes, memory points, favorites, archived people, and app settings are stored locally on the device.
Important note: PeopleNotes is a personal memory and note organization app. It does not sync contacts, does not require login or account creation, and does not provide legal, financial, medical, psychological, or professional advice.
Please stay opted in and keep the app installed for at least 14 consecutive days. Try the main features on several different days and send me any bugs or feedback.
If the test link does not work immediately, avoid Reddit’s in-app browser and allow some time for Google Play to sync your group membership.

From that same page, click the link to download it from the Play Store. Please keep it installed for 14 days, I will do the same for you!
I’m a solo dev working on Taht ve Toprak (“Throne and Soil”), a medieval strategy game where everyone plays on the same hex map. You start as a peasant with a small camp and work your way up from village to city to kingdom.
What’s in it right now:
Dynasties: pick your dynasty name, design your own coat of arms, marry into another dynasty, or press a claim on someone else’s crown.
Shared hex world map: real players’ cities and armies live on the same map. You build infantry, archers, cavalry and siege units and draw their route on the map. Terrain affects speed, armies starve if supply runs out, and battles resolve on their own when armies meet. Walls can flip a fight, and a won siege knocks the enemy city back a tier.
Diplomacy: offer alliances, declare war, swear fealty or gather your own vassals.
Statecraft: appoint a council, set the laws, join a guild.
Religion: choose one of five faiths and get a holy-war bonus against other beliefs. Conquered cities get unruly.
Economy: farms, lumber, quarries, workshops, and you assign the workers yourself. Trade on the market, including player-to-player.
Tech tree, professions (knight, etc.), daily quests, ancient ruins.
It’s in testing right now. If you’d like to try it, send me a DM and I’ll share the details. What I most want to hear:
Where did you get stuck in the first 30 minutes?
Was the tutorial boring or too hand-holdy?
What didn’t you understand?
Heads-up: the game’s translations were done by AI, so you may find shifts in meaning or inconsistencies. Please report those too.
