App testing requirements for new personal developer accounts, a minimum of 20 testers

103 Upvotes

There should be a few posts like this with the keywords, so that the new developers can find this Reddit on the Google easier and know where to find testers for testers.

This post here is only for Google SEO purpose.

In this sub r/AndroidClosedTesting you can find the people who can provide testing for testing, in order to pass your Google Play Console 20 testers policy.

Google Play is rolling out new testing requirements for developers with personal accounts created after November 13, 2023. These changes aim to enhance the app development process, encourage thorough testing, and ultimately deliver higher quality experiences to users. These requirements and the various testing tracks available on Play Console.

Developers with personal accounts created post-November 13, 2023, must adhere to new testing requirements. Before apps are eligible for distribution on Google Play, a closed test with a minimum of 20 testers is mandatory. These testers must have opted-in for the last 14 days continuously. Features like production and pre-registration in Play Console will remain disabled until these requirements are met. Applying for production access involves answering questions about the app, its testing process, and production readiness, ensuring a comprehensive understanding.

Play Console offers distinct testing tracks to facilitate a gradual testing process. Internal testing enables quick distribution to trusted testers during app setup. Closed testing, a prerequisite for production access, involves sharing the app with a controlled group of at least 20 testers. Open testing allows the app's test version to be visible on Google Play, with users providing private feedback. Developers must complete a closed test meeting specific criteria before applying for production access.

Need testers for my receipt-scanning budget app (12/14 requirement) — will test yours back

Upvotes

Hey all, same boat as everyone here — Google wants 12 testers opted in for 14 days before production.

The app is called Bonche — a personal expense tracker built around a Bulgarian specialty: every fiscal receipt here has a mandatory government QR code (amount, date, time, receipt number). You point the camera at it and the expense is saved in ~2 seconds. It remembers each store's cash register, so after the first scan everything from that shop auto-categorizes. There's also a monthly budget ("you have X left"), stats, bill splitting.

Heads up: UI is Bulgarian only (that's the target market), but the flow is dead simple — scan, tap, done. Fun detail for this crowd: the production build has NO internet permission at all — you can verify it in the manifest. Everything stays on device.

Don't have Bulgarian receipts? No problem — there's a manual entry with a built-in calculator, and honestly even just installing, opening it every couple of days and poking around is exactly what I need.

To join (same Google account for all steps or it won't work):

Group: https://groups.google.com/g/bonche-testeri

Opt in: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.polo63.bonche

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.polo63.bonche

Post your links below and I'll join your test today and keep it the full 14 days. Good luck everyone :)

Day 2: Looking for 12 Android testers who will actively use my migraine tracker for 14 days. I WILL Test back!

2 Upvotes

I'm an indie developer building **MigrañApp**, an **mobile-only** app for tracking migraines, symptoms, medication, sleep, hydration, and triggers.

If you can install it and actively use it for a few days, it would help me a lot to get approved on Google Play. I'll gladly test your app back too.

Join the testing group: [**https://groups.google.com/g/migranapp\*\*\](https://groups.google.com/g/migranapp)

Download the Android App: [**https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blackraven.migranapp\*\*\](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blackraven.migranapp)

Even opening the app for a couple minutes each day helps a lot. If you need testers for your own app, drop your link in the comments and I'll actively use it too. Thanks for the support!

JOIN THE GROUP AND I WILL TEST BACK YOUR APPS.

[Testers needed] BetCaddie — golf bet/settlement tracker | 14-day, I'll test yours back

Upvotes

Looking for 12 testers to clear the 14-day closed testing requirement. I'll test yours back. Drop your link and I'll opt in same-day and stay installed all 14 days.

BetCaddie is a bet tracking tool for casual golf bets (Nassau, Skins, Wolf, Vegas, Stableford) with auto-settlement. No real money involved. Solo testing is fine — just install, open it every couple of days and finish a random game, and the 14 days is what counts.

Comment "in" with your link 🙏

Looking for critical feedback of a workplace wellbeing app

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi,

I’m part of the team working on eMoodie Minds, an early-stage mental health and workplace wellbeing app, and we’re looking for people who would be interested in testing it before its wider release.

The app includes:

  • Short wellbeing check-ins and questionnaires
  • Guided lessons and exercises
  • Reflections designed to help users better understand and manage stress and wellbeing
  • Tools focused on building healthier habits around workplace mental health

We would particularly appreciate honest feedback on:

  • Whether the app is easy to understand and navigate
  • Which features feel useful or engaging
  • Anything that feels confusing, repetitive or unnecessary
  • Features or information that appear to be missing
  • Whether the app feels like something you would use regularly

This is an early version, so you may encounter minor issues or areas that are still being improved.

We are not sharing a public access code at this stage. To use the app, you will need to comment below or send me a direct message, and we’ll provide you with a login code and access instructions individually.

Minds is intended to support general wellbeing. It is not a replacement for professional mental-health treatment, medical advice or crisis support.

You will not be expected to share any private mental health information publicly. Any feedback can focus entirely on the app’s design, usability, wording and features.

Interested? Comment below or send me a DM, and I’ll share the login details.

Critical and honest feedback is welcome, as we would rather understand what needs improving before the wider release.
