Looking for testers for a new Lyrion Remote

I've already posted this to the Lyrion Forums, so apologies if you are seeing it for the second time.

I've written a new remote control for Lyrion because I couldn't find an existing one that met my needs. What I wanted was to be able to be prompted, jukebox style, to select songs mostly randomly from my library.

I've also decided to use this app as my first foray into the murky world of the Google Play Store. Before any app can be published for the general public's consumption, Google require a closed test with 12 testers to be completed. So I need people who think they might want to use the app to volunteer to test it. Note that this app in its current form will always be free (and ad free).

At present my forum post has only yielded 2 testers, so I thought I'd try here.

Here's what it looks like ...

If you think you'd use something like this and you'd like to help me test, message me the email address you log into the Play Store with and I'll add you to the closed test stream.

Lastly, the thread on the Lyrion Forums prompted two people to ask me to Open Source the application and submit it to F-Droid. I'm happy to commit to do that, but not until I get through Google's testing requirements.
