Looking for Android beta testers, mutual swap for the 12/14 Play gate
Solo dev, just shipped Money Me to closed testing on Google Play (UK personal finance app, no bank linking, you enter the numbers yourself and it tells you what's safe to spend each month). The app is live but Google still treats new dev accounts as needing 12 testers across 14 days before the store unlocks for everyone.
Looking for a small group of fellow indie hackers willing to opt in, leave the app on their phone for a fortnight, and ideally tap it open a few times. I will do the exact same for yours if you are at the same stage.
How to join (all three steps needed):
- Join the Testers Community Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/testers-community (free, anyone can join, public, 20,000+ devs already there)
- Click the opt-in link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.moneyme.twa
- Install from Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moneyme.twa (search "Money Me" if the link does not open the listing)
Without step 1 the Play Store will say the app is not available for your device. Drop a comment with your own opt-in link and Google Group, or DM me on IH, and I will install yours straight away. Cheers.
Hi Mark,
I'd be happy to help with your Google Play closed testing requirement. I can join the tester group, install Money Me, and actively participate during the 14-day testing period. I'm also interested in mutual testing support and can test your app while sharing my own project if needed.
Looking forward to collaborating!
Quick clarification on the join flow, the opt-in link alone will not work. You need both:
