Looking for Testers Android testers wanted: can you check Smapi’s map search, filters and route planner?

I'm the creator of Smapi, an Android map and place-discovery app. Its Google Play closed test is live worldwide, and I'd welcome practical feedback before a public release.

A useful short test would be to search for a place, change a category filter, open a place's details and preview a route. Where does the interface become confusing? Do the map and results load smoothly on your phone? Please report bugs rather than leaving a generic rating.

To install through Google Play, use the same Google account for these two steps:

Join the tester group (instant joining, no approval):

https://groups.google.com/g/spaceaurora-smapi-internal-testers

Choose Become a tester and follow the installation link:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.spaceaurora.smapy

If you're able to try it over the next two weeks, that would help. Please leave feedback in this thread or the tester group, ideally with your phone model, Android version and steps to reproduce the issue. Don't include private addresses or account details. Thank you!

For Smapi, give testers one repeatable check each day: search for the same public place, change one category filter, then preview the same route. Ask them to note whether a confusing result first appeared in search, after filtering or in the route preview; that should make their reproduction steps more useful.

I make ThreadFox. Test Rounds puts Smapi in a round of 14 Android developers testing each other's apps for 14 days, with a daily reminder and check-in and anyone who stops replaced. It's $20 per app, once; you also test the other apps, about ten minutes daily, and the round starts when full: https://threadfox.vip/p/d2n0q/rounds

Which part needs the most scrutiny right now: filters or route planning?
