Need Android testers to test my Roomieverse closed test.
I can also test back if you need so.
Thanks a lot 😄 😄
Hey, I'm building a dating app with a bit of a unique twist but I don't know how to market it, dating apps rely on other users in their area so on first release people might download it, see nothing then remove it, any advise please, it would be massively appreciated.
Hi everyone,
Our Google Play Developer account for RaSolar was terminated and I'm hoping someone here has experienced something similar and can share advice.
What happened:
We received an email from Google Play saying our account is permanently terminated due to "High Risk Behavior" under the Policy Coverage policy. The exact message says they identified "a pattern of high risk or abuse" associated with our account.
What we know:
- We did NOT knowingly violate any policies
- Our app is a legitimate solar energy app
- We have not received any prior warnings or strikes that we are aware of
- There are no associated terminated accounts we know of
What we've done so far:
- Read the Policy Coverage policy thoroughly
- Submitted an appeal via the Google Play Console
- Waiting for a response (told it can take 7+ days)
My questions for the community:
Has anyone successfully appealed a "High Risk Behavior" termination? What worked?
Is there anything specific to mention in the appeal to increase chances of reinstatement?
Are there any Google Play support channels that are actually helpful beyond the standard appeal form?
Could this be triggered by something like device/IP/payment overlap with another account?
Any help or shared experience is greatly appreciated. This is a big blow for our small team and we're trying everything we can.
Thanks 🙏
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.
I’m using RevenueCat in an Android app that doesn't have a user sign-in system. Since I can't provide test credentials in the Play Console's "App Access" section as the app has no login in system at all so how do I ensure reviewers can access premium features? I mean will they press the subscribe button in paywall to process standard test purchase using their Google reviewer account and access the premium features?
Will Google reviewers just use their own test accounts to make a fake purchase through the normal paywall? Or do I need to build a hidden backdoor/bypass (which feels risky if users find it)?
What is the standard practice here to avoid rejection?
Hi developers,
I’m trying to create a Google Play Console developer account from India using my SBI Global Visa Debit Card. I already have enough balance in my account, but the payment keeps failing.
I received this SMS from SBI:
“Your SBI Debit Card is not active for International ECOM transactions.”
I want to know:
Is enabling International ECOM mandatory for Google Play Console registration payments?
Can SBI Global Visa Debit Cards successfully pay the $25 Google Play Console fee?
Did anyone here activate it through SBI ATM/YONO and make it work successfully?
After enabling international transactions, how long does it usually take to start working?
Would appreciate help from Indian developers who faced this issue before. Thanks!
i was honestly surprised seeing that you need 12 testers to download the app for 14 days for the app to get approved on play store.
so is it possible to just make 12 accounts and add them as testers to make the process faster?
if its risky, can i ask the users on this subreddit for testing the app or something?
Hey everyone! To celebrate the launch of my new app, Sol, I’m manually upgrading 30 early adopters to the full version for life.
I built Sol because keeping track of installments, subscriptions, and loans can get overwhelming quickly. I wanted a simple, all-in-one budget tool to help people visualize their financial commitments and crush their debt faster.
What Sol helps you do:
Here is how to get your account upgraded:
I’ll manually unlock the full version on your account from my end.
If Sol helps you out, leaving an honest review on the Play Store would be incredible. As an indie developer, organic word-of-mouth means everything to me instead of relying on paid ads.
Thanks so much for the support!
Hey everyone,
I’m currently preparing my AI assistant app, Asphira, for the Google Play Store production release, and I need the mandatory 20 testers for 14 days to get publishing approval from Google.
If you are an indie dev in the same boat, I will happily test your app back immediately! Just drop your links in the comments or PM me.
🛠️ How to join my test in 2 easy steps:
Step 1 (Join the Google Group): 👉 https://groups.google.com/g/pallegram-closed-test
(Make sure you are logged in with the same Google account you use for the Play Store!)
Step 2 (Download the App on Google Play): 👉 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.ayriflix.asphira
💬 What to do after installing:
Keep the app installed for at least 14 days.
Open it once in a while so Google registers active testing.
Leave a quick comment here with your links, and I’ll jump straight into your closed test!
Thanks a ton for your support, let's help each other get our apps published! 🤝 Let's go!
We built a cashbook app for people who prefer simple bookkeeping without mandatory accounts, subscriptions, or constant internet access.
Key features:
• Offline-first
• Light/Dark theme
• Multiple books/accounts
• Multi-currency support
• Custom categories & payment modes
• Export and share reports as PDF
• Optional encrypted backups
The goal was to make expense and cash tracking fast, clean, and privacy-friendly while still being flexible enough for personal or small business use.
Would genuinely appreciate feedback, suggestions, or feature ideas from the community.

I just simply wonder if these stats are good, nothing else :3.
I am an indie developer. I built an Android app. Code worked. Design worked. Then Google told me I needed 12 testers for 14 days before I could publish. I did not have that.
I tried friends. They forgot after day 2. I tried test for test groups. People disappeared. I failed three times. Wasted over a month.
So I built RealAppTesters.
You add our testers emails to your Google Play Console. We provide 12 testers who use your app every day for 14 days. We track daily activity. If someone drops off, we replace them. After 14 days, you apply for production access.
No app to download. No system to learn. No testing other people's apps.
I have helped over 50 indie developers pass closed testing so far. All customers came from Reddit. No ads. No paid promotion.
If you are building an Android app and stuck on closed testing, this is for you.
Hey everyone,
I recently published my first app called MoneyFlow Manager — an expense tracker and budget planner for Android.
The idea came from a simple frustration: I was spending money without realizing where it was going. Notes apps, spreadsheets, nothing really stuck. So I built something simple — track income, expenses, set budgets, and keep everything private on your own device (no cloud, no data collection).
You can do things like:
Log daily expenses in seconds
Categorize transactions
Track budgets and see where money is going
Everything stays on your device — fully offline & private
Building the app was honestly the easier part. Getting people to find it? That's a whole different challenge I wasn't prepared for.
I'm doing everything solo, learning as I go, and even getting a handful of installs feels harder than writing the actual code. I'd genuinely love honest feedback from real people — even small suggestions matter because I'm actively improving it every week.

Thanks to anyone who checks it out or drops a comment. It really means a lot. 🙏
Just had my first app published on the Google Play Store. After a week of waiting for it to be approved it finally went live today. This is my first app and I am completely self taught (I am a mechanic by trade) so there was a lot of learning and late nights to get this far.
To be honest the app development actually felt easier than the App Submission process.
The app is a simple app to store all your important car information together in one place.
Anyway would appreciate any feedback that I can use to make version 2 even better for the next upgrade.

I launched my app about 2 months ago and it has reached around 877 total installs so far. Most of the growth has been almost entirely organic, with basically no paid ads. The traffic mainly comes from Play Store search, ASO improvements, and a few posts in cycling communities. The app is focused on bike commuters and casual cyclists.
I’m trying to understand if this is considered decent traction for an indie app at this stage, or if these numbers are still considered low after two months. I know installs alone don’t mean much without retention and engagement, but I’d like to hear honest opinions from people who have experience growing apps organically on Google Play.
Did your apps start slowly too? At what point did growth begin to accelerate for you? Also, how much impact did ASO changes have on your installs in the beginning?
Been a bit of a labour of love, this one. If you're in the UK, do have a download. Unfortunately (for licencing reasons with the data) it's only available there.

Give me a download and tell me what you think.
Several weeks ago I've launched my very first app on Play Store:
It reached 150 downloads before completing its first month on store. Would you please try and give advice to me to reach 1K+ downloads for my mini game?
Thank you in advance.
