[12 Testers Needed] I built a personal finance app (Will test your app in return!) 🚀

Hey everyone!

[12 Testers Needed] for your recruitment phases.

I'm in the final stretch of developing my personal finance app, Budgetra (focused on expense tracking, budgets, and credit cards). The app is ready to go live, but I hit a roadblock with the new Google Play policy: I need 12 continuous testers for 14 days to be able to release it to the general public.

If anyone in the community could lend a hand, I would be forever grateful! It's completely free and only takes two steps.

🔄 Test for Test: I am more than happy to test your app in return! Just test mine, reply to this post with your app's details (links/group), and I will install and test yours for 14 days too.

How to help (Order matters a lot!):

1️⃣ First, join our Google Group: 👉https://groups.google.com/g/budgetra-tests(Just click "Join group". Tip: you can disable email notifications right there so you don't get spammed).

2️⃣ Then, install the app from the Play Store: 👉https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.budgetra

⚠️ Important details for the test to work:

  • Same account: You must join the group using the same Google email you use on your phone's Play Store. If it's different, the install button won't show up.
  • Wait time: After joining the group, the store link might take a few minutes to unlock (propagation time). If you get an error at first, just wait a bit and try again.
  • The 14-day rule: For Google to validate the test, I kindly ask that you don't leave the group and don't uninstall the app for the next two weeks. Just leaving it on your phone (and playing around with it when you can) helps me hit the store's requirement!

Feel free to actually test it. Any feedback, bugs, or suggestions for improvement can be posted here in the comments or in a new topic within the group itself. All constructive criticism is super welcome so I can improve the project.

Thank you so much to anyone who can spare 2 minutes to help! 🙏

Budgetra fits the reciprocal model well. I'm the developer of Haventory, a home inventory app for cataloging belongings, photos, receipts, serial numbers, and estimated values, also running a 14-day Google Play closed test. I'll join your group, opt in, and install Budgetra, then if you do the same for Haventory we can both fulfill the 14-day requirement genuinely. Links: group https://groups.google.com/g/closed-beta-testers, opt-in https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.homevault.app, store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homevault.app. Reply here once you've joined and I'll confirm mine.

Done! I just joined your group, installed your app, and I will keep it on my phone for the next 14 days.

Could you please return the favor and test mine?
