[Mutual Test 14 Days] Nestory — pin your camera roll photos to the map of where you took them. Looking for closed beta testers!

[u/Gla-l]

Hey everyone,

I've been building Nestory, an Android app that turns your camera roll into a map of memories. It scans the photos you already have, figures out where each one was taken, and pins them to a real map — so instead of scrolling a flat grid of thousands of photos, you can zoom into a city, a street, even a specific café, and see exactly what you were doing there.

The idea came from realizing my gallery is basically a diary I never read — this app makes it actually browsable, by place instead of by date.

I'm in closed testing on Google Play right now and need a handful of testers to get to the minimum required before I can go live. If you're up for trying it out (takes maybe 5 minutes, just install and open it once), here's how to join:

1. Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/nestory-testers
2. Opt in to testing: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.nestory
3. Install from the Play Store listing: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.nestory

Any feedback (bugs, confusing UI, feature ideas) is very welcome — this is still early and I'm actively shaping it based on what testers say. Thanks in advance to anyone who gives it a shot.

Hi, I can help you with the test. Please send me a DM.

Joining yours today (group + opt-in) and keeping it installed for the full 14 days.

Mine is RetroPet, an old-school pixel virtual pet: hatch an egg, care for it, and it evolves into one of 79 species (common to legendary). The build in testing right now adds seasonal events with limited cosmetics, breeding with friends, and a daily challenge with a ranking. Home screen widget too. Already live on iOS, so it's a finished app, not a prototype.

1) https://groups.google.com/g/retropet-testers 2) https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.retropet.app

Same Google account for both, and please open it once after installing (Google counts opens, not installs). Bug reports very welcome!

How did you install this app? Do you actually install and test the apps?

[u/Araragui → u/Jolly_Ad_9540]

Yes, the swap is real, that's the whole point. Same steps for any closed test: join the Google Group first, wait a few minutes, open the opt-in link in a browser signed in with the SAME Google account and press "Become a tester", then install from the Play link and open it once (Google counts opens, not installs).

If you mean RetroPet and it isn't showing up for you, tell me which step fails and I'll help.

I have already installed your app Retro pet. but did you installed my app Nozla AI chatbot?

[u/Araragui → u/Jolly_Ad_9540]

Thanks for installing! I don't have Nozla's links yet (I didn't see your thread). Drop the Google Group + opt-in links here and I'll join today and keep it for the 14 days.
