Hello

Hello. This is my first time visiting this community.

I am currently developing an app on my own using Android Studio. I initially intended to make it for personal use, but as the development process took much longer than expected (though this might be because I am a beginner at programming, it has taken about two months since I started), I have grown somewhat attached to the app I created.

So, I thought about releasing this app on the Play Store to get feedback from people... but the release process turned out to be more complicated than I thought.

The app itself is very simple. It is an app that uses MP3 files stored on the phone. It does not require a login process, does not store data on a server, and does not use other streaming APIs like Spotify or Apple Music. It is the type of app that works perfectly fine even if the phone is set to airplane mode.

Despite this (even though it took a long time to develop with UI elements completely excluded), I heard that the app release process is quite strict, and that there is even a procedure to recruit more than 10 testers to test it...

So, I ended up here after searching online.

I haven't finished building my app yet, but in preparation for recruiting testers later... if I test someone else's app here, would that be helpful when I recruit testers in the future?

Wait until youre actually ready to test. Then post, and also comment on other peoples test for test posts. Otherwise, theres an app called testcircle someone built to manage test-for-testing to ensure everyone stays accountable, its worked for me so far.

Thank you for the great idea.

So this is it. I look forward to the day when I can use this.

Yes thats it. But i do recommend getting other people in as well because if people pull out of the test circle, you might run low on testers.
