I’m building a small Expo starter for one specific workflow:

Firebase Auth → RevenueCat user ID → entitlement check → protected premium screen.

Not trying to build a giant boilerplate. I’m trying to understand if this setup is still painful enough that people would use a starter repo/checklist.

For people who’ve shipped paid Expo apps:

- What broke for you?

- RevenueCat config?

- Expo dev builds?

- App Store / Play Store products?

- Firebase user sync?

- Entitlement state not updating?

Trying to decide if this is worth packaging.

Hi Everyone,

I’m looking for Android testers for my Google Play closed test.

App name:

Otterly: Water Drink Reminder

Google Group for test access:

https://groups.google.com/g/otterly-closed-testers

Google Play testing opt-in link:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.vishrut19.otterlyapp

Google Play store link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vishrut19.otterlyapp

Otterly is a simple hydration tracking app with a cute otter companion named Kai. The idea is to make water tracking feel warm and encouraging instead of clinical or guilt-driven. You can log drinks quickly, track your daily goal, see Kai’s mood change based on your progress, and get smart reminders.

How to join:

1. Join the Google Group using the same Google account you use on the Play Store.

2. Open the Google Play testing opt-in link and tap “Become a tester”.

3. Open the Google Play store link and install Otterly.

4. Keep the app installed and stay opted in for 14 days if possible.

5. Use it naturally for a few minutes each day.

I’m especially looking for feedback on:

- Onboarding / first-time setup

- Water logging speed

- Reminder timing or frequency

- App design and visual polish

- Bugs, crashes, or layout issues

- Anything confusing or annoying

Please reply here after installing with:

I’m happy to test your Android app in return. Share your Google Group / testing link and I’ll opt in, install, and keep it for 14 days too.

Thanks a lot. I’m an Indie Developer and this would genuinely help me get Otterly ready for launch.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for Android users to help closed-test my new hydration tracking app, Otterly.

Otterly is a simple water tracking app with a cute otter companion named Kai. The idea is to make hydration feel warm and encouraging instead of clinical or guilt-driven. You can log drinks quickly, track your daily goal, see Kai’s mood change based on your progress, and get smart reminders.

I’m currently preparing the app for Google Play closed testing and need real testers who can:

- Opt in through Google Play

- Install the app on Android

- Keep it installed and stay opted in for 14 days

- Use it naturally for a few minutes every day

- Share honest feedback about bugs, confusing screens, reminders, onboarding, or anything that feels off

This is a closed test, so I’ll need the Google email you use for Play Store access. Please fill out the form below, and I’ll add selected testers to the closed testing group.

App name:

Otterly: Water Drink Reminder

What I’m especially looking for feedback on:

- Is onboarding clear?

- Is water logging quick enough?

- Do reminders feel helpful or annoying?

- Does the app feel trustworthy enough for daily use?

- Any crashes, layout issues, or weird behavior?

- What would you most like me to improve?
