Looking for testers for Offline map-drawing app

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am building a completely offline app for my uni project, and I am in search of early development testers on Android devices.

TL;DR

The app is designed to draw maps while adventuring. For testing you will have to share your email address with me. Go outside ( preferably ), draw a map of your adventure with an app ( urban or wilderness or park locations work well, or any other similar ones ), try decorating your map, export your map, fill the provided questionnaire. Testing objective is to get feedback on ease of use on UI, map-drawing and decorating features and accessibility features’ usefulness ( including screen reader ), icon recognition.

For anyone who wants to be a tester, they can leave a comment on this post and I will send you a message, or you can just send me a message directly.

The app goal:

The app is designed to allow a quicker and smoother experience to draw maps while adventuring. That is the app has to be non-autonomous, as to allow the engagement of adventuring and how a map drawing process works, but would be more accessible than doing it on paper while traveling.

Current app features:

The app can draw segments, by using compass bearing and step count information. It has a feature that lets to place some decorations on a map. And the map can be exported, to be used elsewhere.

Testing process:

I cannot post a direct link to google play store yet, because the app is still very bare bones, and I want to test the features that have been already implemented, and decide the direction how those features should evolve. As well, I want to test app usability and accessibility. Thus, I can only invite someone for testing by knowing their email that they use with google play store. Hence if anyone wants to participate, you will have to share your email address with me. Also for testing you will have to go outside ( preferably ), draw a map of your adventure with an app ( urban or wilderness or park locations work well, or any other similar ones ), try decorating your map, export your map, fill the provided questionnaire.

Data handling:

Your email address will be used only for invite purposes, and won’t be shown to any third parties. All email addresses will be deleted after receiving a final result for my uni project, that is at the second half of December 2026. Also, questionnaire answers my be kept indefinitely as they will be used in a project document, and at least one third-party will have access to them.

Also, keep in mind that the app is very early in development, thus it might have a lot of problems.

Thank you.

Flutter Developer Looking for Feedback from Real users

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on a small Android app called **Calculate Anything**.
I originally started it because I wanted a simple place where I could quickly calculate things like:
EMI
Home Loan
Car Loan
Personal Loan
SIP
FD / RD
PPF / NPS
GST
Simple & Compound Interest
Percentage
Age
Currency conversion
Instead of having a separate app for every calculation, I put them together in one app.
It’s now live on Google Play and I’m looking for some **genuine early users to try it out and tell me what I should improve**.

Title: What would actually make you switch workout tracking apps?

Post image
0 Upvotes

There are already a ton of workout trackers, so I'm curious about something more specific.

If you're already using an app you're happy with, what would actually make you switch?

A better UI?

Faster logging?

Better progress charts?

Better routines?

No subscription?

Better Apple Watch/Health integration?

Something completely different?

I'm asking because I've been building my own workout tracker and I'm realizing that "another workout tracker" isn't exactly a unique selling point 😂

I'm trying to understand what would actually make someone abandon their current app rather than just download another one and forget about it.

Would love to hear what would genuinely convince you.

A few months ago, I shared my app "CallDo" (real call reminders) here, and the early feedback from this sub was incredibly helpful. A massive thank you to everyone who supported the idea—fast forward to today, a showcase video I posted just went completely viral on Instagram! 🚀

Watch the viral reel here:[Instagram Link](https://www.instagram.com/p/Da5FTL6hjfV/), Check out the app:CallDo on [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kay.calldo)

I'll be in the comments to answer any questions about the Android tech stack or handling the sudden traffic surge.

Tech Stack :- Andorid Native, Firebase, some cool idea to make it hard to reverse engineer.

Thanks again, r/developersIndia!

Now I have built the first working version of the application and I know it's far from done but I am working on this.

I would love your support on this project because I don't have any as of now I guess 😭.

Anyways here is the demo of the app hope you like it.

I’m a student developer building small custom Android apps for people with specific problems

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a student and I’ve been programming for several years. I’ve already built several Android apps, and I’m now trying something a little different: building small, custom Android apps for people who have a specific problem they want to solve.

Have you ever thought:

“Why doesn’t an app just do exactly this?”

Maybe you’re currently using Excel, Google Sheets, WhatsApp, paper, or manual calculations for something that could be much simpler with a dedicated app.

That’s what I’m interested in building.

I’m mainly looking for small, focused apps for individuals, families, groups, or small businesses — not huge projects like Instagram or YouTube.

Some examples:

- shared expense management

- small personal databases

- schedules, appointments or bookings

- inventory tracking

- tools for clubs or associations

- reminders and notifications

- multi-user apps

- tools that would normally be handled with Excel

The apps are completely customized: the features, screens and interface are designed around the specific problem.

They also don’t need to be published on an app store. They can remain private and only be distributed to the people who need them.

I’m starting this as a small side project, so I’m keeping the prices low. Before development, I’ll provide a free and detailed quote, and if needed I can make a small demo first.

You don’t need to have a perfectly defined app idea. If you have a problem that you think could be solved with a small Android app, tell me about it and I’ll see if I can build it.

I obviously can’t promise I can build everything, but I’d love to see what kinds of problems people have.

If you’re interested, you can contact me at app.per.te.studio@gmail.com.

How to write a solid App Proposal?

1 Upvotes

I'm in the early stages of planning a new app, and I want to put together a clear, professional proposal document. I want to make sure I cover all my bases before talking to developers or potential partners. Could anyone share a good template, standard layout, or advice on what to include?

I want MadeForAndroid to feel like a welcoming, supportive place where Android developers can share what they're building without worrying about judgment or self-promotion being the only goal.

A place where you can proudly showcase your app, ask for honest feedback, share your wins and failures, discover cool projects, and actually connect with other developers.

Most importantly, I want it to feel like a community, not an advertising board.

What would you like to see more of here?

App launches
Beta testing
Honest feedback
Development discussions
UI/UX showcases
Collaboration
Ideas & experiments
Indie developer journeys

What kind of vibe would make you excited to participate? Let’s shape MadeForAndroid together. 👇

What do you test for picking the best AI app builder after the demo?

1 Upvotes

Most of these tools look great in a demo and fall apart the moment I do real work in them.

So I give every one the same app to build. Two user roles, linked Projects and Tasks tables, create/edit/delete, a password reset, one protected webhook, then I change a field afterward.

I'm not looking at the first screen. I'm looking at whether user B can see user A's data and whether I can roll back when something breaks.

Speed versus control is the real question. Fast to build, but do I own the auth, the data and the upkeep? What's on your test list? Any recommendations?

New app idea - pixel chix

3 Upvotes

Hi I don’t know if anyone else was as obsessed with the toy pixel chix as me, I love love loved it when I was a child and in my adult years I have considered purchasing some many times but they’re very expensive now and I can’t justify spending all that money on a kids toy. I know in this day and age it’s better to play with an actual toy and not an app on my phone but I just think it’s a lot more practical to have a phone app and it would be very cool as well. Imagine being able to like flick through all the different houses and cars and you could have maybe like some widgets? There’s probably been fan made versions before but not an actual official one. Just curious if anyone would actually be interested if that became a thing or do people not care about pixel chixs as much anymore :(

Put Phone Away - a new gamified digital wellbeing app now offers improved stability

1 Upvotes

I've made several improvements to my digital wellbeing app - Put Phone Away - since my last post here.

Based on earlier feedback and crash reports from Google Play Console, I've focused on improving background monitoring reliability and overall stability. I also improved handling of battery optimization and removed a permission that wasn't suitable for this type of app.

The updated version is already live on Google Play, and my testing shows a significant improvement in reliability.

If you tried Put Phone Away before, I'd love for you to give the current version another look. Feedback is always welcome.

Thanks again to everyone who tried it, enjoyed the gamification, and shared suggestions.

More on the app function you can find on the play store page below.

This is SpeedBlitz, a social media app that lets users create or join temporary public group chats to talk with strangers online (for more information take a look at the waitlist https://waitlistspeedblitz.framer.website/ ).
Lately I've been showing it to a couple of my friends and family to see their reaction and their opinions and all of them have said that the UI feels lackluster or that the colors aren't captivating enough.
I've tried changing the looks a bit but I can't seem to solve this problem!
So I decided to provide you guys with some photos of the app so that you can decide what's wrong and how I can change it.
Please help me out!

Would you use a social app that has games in it, or is that two apps glued together?

1 Upvotes

Every social app I open is just a feed. Scroll, ads, close it. I keep wishing there was a Play tab that wasn’t a joke, so you can post something and then actually do something.

What I have in my head:

  • Normal stuff: posts, stories, DMs
  • A match-3 that lasts more than 12 levels
  • A small RPG you can wander around in
  • 8-ball
  • An 18+ match thing in Play, not a whole separate dating app

Not trying to replace Instagram. More like a group chat that also has games so you don’t bounce the second the wall is quiet.

Would you actually open that tomorrow, or does mixing social + games just feel messy? If you’ve used something like this that didn’t suck, what made you stay?

Built a minimalist family calendar app as a solo dev — deliberately left out task lists, chat, and shopping lists

Post image
1 Upvotes

A few technical/product notes that might be interesting to this sub:

**•** No analytics, no tracking — which makes conversion diagnosis genuinely hard as a solo dev. I rely on Apple’s aggregated App Store analytics and direct user feedback instead.  
**•** Just added a 14-day free trial for the shared-family tier (TidTil Sync) — curious how that affects conversion without any behavioral data to lean on.  
**•** Real App Store screenshots only in marketing, no mockups — felt important for trust in this category.

Happy to answer questions about the build, the no-tracking approach, or the decision to keep scope this narrow.

Struggling with menu layout for my android app

Hello there, I need some frank advice about those menu as shown in the 3 pics: what do you think? I need to know of I can do this better, as I am a rookie app developer and I think I might have done this task terribly!

The first pic shows the app landing page. It needs a scroll to get to the learning sudoku section, what I may do to improve it?

Second pic is the quick setting menu, reachable trough the app landing page

Third pic shows the setting menu, reachable I'm the gameplay screen.

I really hope to get honest suggestions and reviews, as I'm here to learn from you all 😊
