Hi everyone! I'm developing Orbit Hop, a space arcade game based on precision and timing.

I'm close to launching it, but I need 12 testers to meet the Google Play requirements.

If you like how it looks and want to support me, please send me a DM with the email address associated with your Google Play account so I can add you to the access list.

Thanks a lot for the support!

Hi everyone!

I need some help reaching the 20 testers requirement for my app. It's the mobile version of my website bracketmundial.com, designed to create and manage sports tournament brackets.

I will 100% test your app in return and keep it installed for the required 14 days. Just leave your links in the comments!

Here are the links to test mine:

1. Join the Google Group:

https://groups.google.com/g/bracketmundial

2. Opt-in Web

Link : https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.jesusprodriguez.bracketmundial

3- Android App Link:

I built TestLaunch because I keep seeing Play Store developers posting that they need testers, feedback, or people to join their testing links.

TestLaunch is a free place to list your app, share your testing link, and let testers find projects that need help.

You can add your app name, platform, category, test duration, contact email, description, testing link, and what kind of feedback you are looking for.

The goal is simple: give Play Store developers one clean page to share instead of chasing scattered tester posts everywhere.

It is brand new, so feedback is welcome.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently going through Android app testing for the first time, and I’m quickly realising that getting testers is not just about “finding 12 people”.

It’s about finding people who will actually install the app, keep it installed, understand the process, and ideally give you feedback that helps you improve the app before launch.

So I wanted to share a few things I’m learning, and also invite anyone here who wants to help test my app.

My app is called Payback. It’s a local-first money tracker for everyday things like tracking money you gave, money you got, split expenses, bills, and subscriptions. No login required, no ads, no subscription, and data stays on the device by default.

I’m looking for Android testers right now, and I’m also happy to test other people’s apps in return.

To test Payback:

1. Join the Google Group first: https://groups.google.com/g/nivesh-app-testers/
2. Accept the testing invite: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.ccc.payback
3. Install the app from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.ccc.payback&hl=en-US&ah=yKDoejNiQlwZluz-_UWY0PWaTdA

Now, based on what I’m learning, here are a few ideas that can make app testing more successful:

1. Make the joining process extremely clear

A lot of people are willing to help, but the Google Play testing flow is confusing if they have never done it before.

They usually need to:

• join a Google Group
• accept the testing invite
• open the Play Store link
• install the app

If even one step is unclear, people drop off. So I think it’s important to explain the steps clearly and in the exact order.

2. Reddit is better for real feedback

Personally, I see Reddit as the best place to find real users.

People here are more likely to tell you what is confusing, what looks bad, what does not work, and what they would actually use.

That kind of feedback is much more valuable than just getting installs.

Even if only 3–4 people give detailed feedback, it can help more than 20 silent testers.

3. Paid testers can help fill the gap

This may not be the most popular opinion, but I think paid testers can be useful if you just need to fill the required tester count.

For example, there are people on Fiverr who can help with a small group of testers for around $10. They are usually dedicated because they want to complete the job properly.

But I would not depend only on that.

Paid testers may help with install numbers and keeping the app installed, but Reddit or indie dev communities are better for honest feedback.

4. Offer to test other people’s apps too

Testing should not be one-sided.

A lot of us are indie developers going through the same annoying process. So instead of just asking for help, I think it’s better to offer help back.

I’m personally happy to install and test someone else’s Android app for up to 3 weeks.

I can also send a screenshot every day if needed, just to prove that I still have the app installed.

If someone helps me, I want to be reliable and useful for them too.

5. Ask testers simple questions

Instead of saying “please give feedback”, it helps to ask specific questions like:

• Was the onboarding clear?
• Did anything feel confusing?
• Did the app crash anywhere?
• Was the purpose of the app obvious?
• Would you actually use this?
• What would make you uninstall it?

Simple questions get better answers.

6. Keep your app ready before asking people

Before asking for testers, I think it’s important to make sure the app is stable enough.

It does not need to be perfect, but testers should not get stuck immediately. If the first screen is broken, most people will not come back.

At minimum, the basic flow should work and the app should not crash during normal use.

7. Be responsive

If someone takes time to test your app, reply properly.

Thank them, ask follow-up questions, fix obvious issues, and let them know their feedback helped.

That makes the whole process feel more human and less like you are just collecting testers.

8. Build a small tester circle

I think the best long-term approach is to build a small circle of indie developers who help each other.

Today I test your app, tomorrow you test mine.

Not fake reviews. Not fake ratings. Just real installs, real usage, real feedback, and helping each other get through the process.

This is my first time trying to launch on the Android Play Store, so I’m still learning. But if anyone here is also going through testing, I’d be happy to help.

If you can test Payback, I’d really appreciate it.

Again, here are the links:

Join the tester group:
https://groups.google.com/g/nivesh-app-testers/

Accept the invite:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.ccc.payback

Install the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.ccc.payback&hl=en-US&ah=yKDoejNiQlwZluz-_UWY0PWaTdA

Comment or DM me if you join, and send me your app link if you want me to test yours too.

Please help test Crafti required for production.

Crafti is an app where you can import craft projects you see on social media. The app will break down the tools needed and steps to organize and plan your crafts. It uses AI to recommended age group, supervision, mess level, skills, etc. Geared towards parens or teachers looking for fun and educational way to spend time with kids.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for Android testers for Modesmith Launcher, a minimal Android launcher focused on mode-based app favorites.

Modesmith Launcher lets you keep your home screen simple while changing your favorite apps based on context. For example, you can have different Now apps for Work, Study, Home, Sports, or custom schedules, while Always apps stay available across modes.

Key features:

- Mode-based Now apps

- Always apps across all modes

- Time-based schedules for favorites

- A-Z rail for quick app access

- App search

- Per-mode wallpapers and appearance

- Smart bottom pill for media, timer, calendar, and charging status

- Optional notification badges, contact search, and screen lock gesture

To join the closed test:

1. Join the Google Group:

https://groups.google.com/g/modesmith-closed-testing

2. Then install/test the app from Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modesmith.launcher

I need testers who can keep the app installed and remain opted in during the closed testing period. You can test it as your default launcher if you’re comfortable, or just explore the setup, settings, app drawer, modes, schedules, and UI.

Please share any bugs, crashes, performance issues, confusing flows, or UX feedback.

Permissions note:

Notification access is optional and used for media controls, timer pill, and notification badges. Accessibility is optional and used only for the screen lock gesture. Contacts/calendar permissions are optional for contact search and calendar pill features.

Thanks for helping test Modesmith Launcher.
