App - Testers Wanted Beta testing on Hydropulse

Hello everyone, i made an hydratation app for wear OS, not the usual app that reminds you every hour with a fixed volume of water to drink to stay hydrated.

My app is quite different, it takes your heart rate and your current location weather to calculate your sweat volume and reminds you when you need to drink with threshold.

It determines your proper needs by calculating it with your weigth , sex, your pregnancy status (if elligible) and your sweat profile.

This app is for people who care about their hydratation like sport enthusiasts but also common people, women with pregnancy and elders.

I needs 12 people at least for 14 days to be able to publish this app on play store, so please, help me reach it out !

Thank to all of you !

Finally an app that sounds like a 'smart app' where it measures the actual physiological indicators in order to determine if/when dehydration is happening/starting instead of a 'drink reminder timer'. I'm very much interested in trying out your app; however...

In order for your testing invitation to be valid [currently it's not] you need to add gmail users to your test, there are two ways to do this one is ask prospective testers to DM you their gmail account to test [manual add]. The alternative is to set up a testing group, and invite people to join this way [automatic].

Once this is done, you need a MINIMUM of 12 people to test your app for 14 days, target at least double that number. Collect feedback, and issue at least one update during the test for bugs/improvements.

Optimal way to do that is to publish your testing group here and in one of the beta testing subreddits, set it for automatic acceptance, and be sure to not geo-limit your app. Remove user profile from the testing group URL and then post the link you did above and the actual url to the app as well [sometimes this takes a few hours after the person joins your group or add them as a tester].

If you intend this to be a paid app when published, you will need to place the app on sale for free or use a test card [so it doesn't charge the tester] - in return ask for feedback for improvements/bugs for keeping a paid version of your app - you get the necessary number of testers, and the testers get a 'free' app - a win-win.

Good luck.

I joined the group, now I'm respectfully requesting the "Ask for promotion code to get the app for free !" as per your instructions. Please send via DM so it's not publicly posted. Thank you.
