Google Play App Review times?

Hi Folks, its been over a week now since I submitted my App for review with Google. Is there a reasonable timeframe that one should wait before maybe submitting a ticket for a prompt to review at all. What do you guys do in such instances? Many thanks!

🚨 Major update — Android call screening app needs testers [Closed Beta]

Hey everyone,

I've just pushed a major update to Who's Calling + SPAM Guard — an Android app that screens your calls before you answer them. The caller has to identify themselves, you see a live transcript and spam risk score, then decide whether to answer, send to voicemail, or block them.

This update is a significant overhaul and I need fresh eyes on it before we go to full production release on Google Play.

What's new in this update:

  • 3D pressable call screen buttons with real depth and tap feedback
  • 5 spam risk tiers colour coded green through red
  • Live word-by-word transcript as the caller speaks
  • Single status bar that locks the moment you make your decision
  • Wood grain and powder coat texture options
  • Classic, Round or Square button shape per SIM
  • In-app coach guide walking through all 11 features
  • White or dark transcript background option
  • Buttons lock after your decision — no accidental double taps

To join the beta:

  1. Join the Google Group (required for access): https://groups.google.com/g/wcsg-beta-testers

  2. Opt in to the beta: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.whoscalling.spamguard

  3. Install or update from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whoscalling.spamguard

What I'd love feedback on:

  • Does the call screen feel intuitive and responsive?
  • Are the spam tier colours clear at a glance?
  • Does the onboarding flow make sense?
  • Anything broken, confusing or off?

All feedback welcome — drop a comment here or message me directly. This is a genuine indie app built solo and every tester genuinely makes a difference to the final product.

We're close to qualifying for full production release and every tester in the group counts toward that milestone. Would love to have you on board.

Thanks 🙏

Google Play Console full description formatting — line breaks and bullet points being stripped on paste — anyone solved this?

Trying to format my app's full description in Google Play Console with proper line breaks between bullet points and <b> bold headers.

No matter what I try, the console strips all line breaks and collapses everything into a wall of text:

Pasting from Notepad — stripped Pasting from VS Code — stripped Ctrl+Shift+V — stripped <br> tags — show as literal text Double Enter between lines — collapsed to single or removed entirely Single Enter between lines — also stripped

The <b> bold tags survive but everything runs together into one block.

I've seen mentions of using the Google Play Developer API to submit descriptions with proper formatting but haven't tried that yet.

Has anyone actually solved this in 2026? What's your workflow for getting a properly formatted description into Play Console?
