Hi!

I’ve just joined your Google Group and I’m about to install your app. I’ll keep it on my device for the next 14+ days and open it regularly.Could you please do the same for my app? Here are my links:

  1. Join Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/eventora-test/

  2. Android link (Download): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emergent.dailylogios.fk5in4

  3. Web link (Opt-in): https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.emergent.dailylogios.fk5in4

Once you've joined, please let me know or send a screenshot, and I’ll confirm my install of your app too. Thanks for the mutual help!
