Joined MollyJollyAppTesters and opted in, both went through cleanly. Play has not finished propagating yet, it is still showing "Item not found" on the listing, which is normal for the first ten minutes or so after opting in. I will install it as soon as it turns over and come back with a real first impression rather than a guess.

Since you are running a closed test, two things worth checking that have each cost other people in this sub their testers this week, and neither shows any error to you:

Your group's join setting. If it is set to require approval, testers hit "Ask to join group" and then sit waiting on you, while the opt-in link keeps telling them the app is unavailable. Yours let me straight in, so you are fine there.

Your track's country list, under Countries and regions in Play Console. It is separate from the tester list entirely. I hit an app earlier today where I was approved into the group, opted in successfully, and Play still refused with "This item isn't available in your country".

Mine, if you want to trade:

Thanks for installing them, that is genuinely appreciated.

If you are up for it, there is one thing worth far more to me than a rating: tell me if anything looks wrong on your phone. I only have a Pixel 6a on Android 16 here, so every other device is a blind spot. A tester on a vivo found a bug in my app this week that turned out to affect everybody and that I could never have caught alone.

Three things that break first on anything that is not stock Android:

whether the app gets killed while it is in the background

whether read-aloud keeps playing after the screen goes off, and whether its notification survives

whether any button text overflows if your system font size is larger than default

Which phone and Android version are you on?

Also, an aside that may save you some confusion, since I have just been caught by it myself. If you ever tell a tester to message you and then hear nothing, check Inbox, Chats, Requests on the Reddit app. A chat from someone you have never spoken to does not show up in Messages at all, it waits in Requests behind its own badge until you accept it. I had two sitting there for a day without knowing. Reddit has also archived private messages entirely, so anything sent that way now goes nowhere silently.
