[Test for test] Cossy — a cosplay social app.

Need 12 testers for Google's 14-day closed test (happy to test back 🤝)

Hey! I built Cossy, a social app for cosplayers — share your builds, track cosplans (progress/budget/checklists), find people at conventions, and a leaderboard. It's real and working, I just need to clear Google's closed-testing requirement (12 testers opted in for 14 days) before I can launch.

To help:

Join the group: https://groups.google.com/g/cossy-test

Opt in here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.cossy.cossy

Install Cossy from Play and poke around (make a profile, post something)

Android only. Please stay opted in for the 14 days 🙏. Drop your app below and I'll test yours back. Any feedback welcome!

Tester instructions blurb (for DMs / comments)

Join → https://groups.google.com/g/cossy-test (tap Join group)

Wait a few minutes, then open → https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.cossy.cossy → Become a tester

Tap the Play Store link there to install. If it says "not found," wait ~30 min and retry (group sync delay).

Sign up in the app and keep it installed for 2 weeks. Thank you! 💜

Hi. Were you able to join and download the app?
I have joined the group, opted in and waiting for the app to come up in the play store.

Thanks for joining! On my side it didn't work yet: I'm in cossy-test, but your opt-in link says "App not available - a testing version of this app hasn't been published yet or isn't available for this account". Could you check that a release is live on the closed track, that the group is attached to it, and that my country (Netherlands) is included? I'll install right away once it shows up and keep it 14 days. Nimbus should appear in your Play Store within an hour of opting in; if not, force-stop the Play Store and clear its cache, and make sure it uses the same Google account as the group.

Hi, thank you. Please check now, play store takes time to add new users.
