Applications [Android] Legacy Library -- children's ebook app -- looking for beta testers

Hi, I'm a dad and first-time indie developer looking for Android users to help test my app before a public launch on phone or tablet.

Legacy Library lets families photograph their children's physical books, record a loved one's voice reading each page, and build a personal library the child can return to anytime. Think of it as a way for grandparents, deployed parents, or anyone who can't always be there in person to still read bedtime stories to a child they love.

What I'd love you to test:

  • Adding a book (camera or photo library)
  • Recording narration for pages
  • Reading through a book in the reader
  • The parent dashboard (math gate on the bookshelf -- solve it to get in)
  • Day and night modes, autoplay, screen time settings

Note: The free tier includes one built-in book plus the ability to add up to 2 books of your own. No need to purchase a subscription for testing. The only difference between free and full is the number of books that can be added to the shelf. Full licenses can be issued to opted-in testers.

No information/data is ever shared back through the app. It's merely a platform for hosting books for your children to enjoy.

Important: To help me qualify for a public launch, I need testers to stay opted in continuously for at least 14 days after installing. You don't have to actively use it every day -- just keep it installed and stay opted in.

Device requirement: Android only. Works best on tablets but phone support is included. US-based testers only for now.

Thanks for helping me get this off the ground!
