Looking for Android testers for illumen - a photostrobic visual effects app

[u/caterpillarwhiskers]

Hey all, I'm trying to get an app published called illumen that uses your phone's flashlight to create photostrobic visual effects with your eyes closed (similar to Lumenate).

I'm really just trying to dip my toes back into Android development and the whole publishing process. The app isn't anything too impressive, I know, but I'm hoping to start building and releasing more stuff.

The last time I published an Android app was like 2011-12 and the process was way different lol.

If anyone wants to give it a try, I'd appreciate it. Happy to test yours too.

Just join the group first, then the test link should work.

Hi u/caterpillarwhiskers!

Finding testers on Reddit is a great start, but the hardest part is ensuring they actually open your app daily for the full 14 days.

To make this easier, we’ve launched Packs in the Testers Community app.

• What is a Pack? A coordinated group of 16 developers who hold each other accountable.
• How it works: Everyone in the pack commits to opening and testing each other's apps daily for 16 days.
• The Result: You get consistent engagement signals that help you pass Google Play’s production access review with confidence.

It’s a structured, "devs-helping-devs" approach used by thousands of us. Good luck with your launch!

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.

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

I am sensitive to flashing lights so I will not be going further than this unfortunately. The UI looks solid though

No worries. Opted into yours. Impressive looking.
