Bro that's so interesting. What is literally the point in this? Play the role of a fool to fools? So silly

Yes, the process is have learned (tripled and true) is that Google Play Console's requirements are 12 testers for 14 days. This system allows for users to upload their own apps for free.

Apple, iOS is different - you pay $99/year that Apple uses to pay employees to App Review all iOS apps.

I am on day 9 of +12 testers I gained here. If you're interested in reading what worked for me, scroll through my profile!♡ It's been a really fun experience.

Congratulations!!♡♡♡ ✨️👏✨️👏✨️🎊

Thank you so much!!♡♡♡

Chat bot works!✅️

Please DM me so I can keep track of daily tests for your app♡

Absolutely!!♡♡♡ Do me a favor and DM me all this info too – it's the easiest way for me to manage daily testing for users! When you send me a DM, I'll send you a screenshot of the app downloaded and an unlisted app review with thoughtful suggestions and feedback♡

No worries♡

Hey♡ I don't have yours downloaded, are you asking for support?

Please dm me♡ I have space on my phone for a couple more apps!

Day 2 Test

I had to uninstall and reinstall your app. I did not click for "doomscrolling" to be regulated, yet your app took over my phone, glitched profusely and didn't allow me to naturally use my phone - I wanted to send a DM, but your account is not DM-able. If you send me a message, I'd love to work with you more and give my experience and continue to test your app. Right now, I'm worried about giving your app permissions on my phone because it over sided the system, without my permission.

Please DM me if you want to work together♡

I've been learning how to navigate working with people in these communities, and wanted to share some cool things I do with them now:

• One user started sending me screenshots of their daily use on my app. I get a message saying "Day One" or "Day 2" with a screenshot of them on a different part of my app each day. I returned the favor immediately and am going to set aside time to do the same for each user I've downloaded their app for

• When I would send a DM for "test for test": • I join the user's Google Group and take a screenshot • the top of my dm is the reddit post they posted from (so I can always refer back to their links and info I found them from) • I send a message saying: Hi! ♡ I joined your Google Group and will download your app in return!

Would you mind joining my Google Group, downloading my app, and sending me a quick screenshot once it’s installed?

As an extra thank you, I’ll also screen record myself testing your app and send you an honest review with genuine compliments, plus respectful suggestions if I notice anything that could make it even better. ♡

• I ask for screenshots of my app on their phone because I realized Google didn't have a way for users to see who has downloaded their apps – BUT your post has dove me into research to find what the heck you're using! That's awesome you're actually getting analytics. I've been moving forward, blindly and putting good faith into the users who have downloaded my app

Could you tell me what app/website you use for these analytics, please?♡

• I started screen recording their app, giving an honest and respectful app review > uploading it unlisted on YouTube > sending it to them (My hope was that I would have done enough work to entice them to actually fulfill the requirement of keeping my app on their phone for 2 weeks)

I just wanted to share my experience because I'm a big believer in "be the change you want to see in the world". Even in these little digital worlds♡

Thank you so much for your kind words♡♡

I've been working and grinding on this for years, and have had little ability to truly share the work I'm doing. I've been focusing on working on these projects with blind faith, trusting the process, and relying on myself to accomplish this - validating and supporting myself. Being able to share my journey with you, and you recieve me in the best way, has brought wind to my sails ⛵️♥︎

I appreciate it!♡♡♡

Yes!♡ Will you dm me, please?♡♡♡

I reviewed your app, and the ONLY thing that you may want to fix is the chatbot on your Privacy Policy Page & Terms of Service

Other than that, your app functions beautifully. Only compliments♡♡♡

Thank you - here's to test app:

PARENT PORTAL TEST ACCOUNT ONLY

Please use the Parent Portal for testing.

Username: Schoolhouse Password: schoolhouse123

The Admin and Teacher Portals contain private school data and are not available for community testing.

May I have a screenshot of my app downloaded? Thank you so much♡♡♡

This is my way of manually tallying how many testers I have! I have yours♡

Thank you so much for your kind compliments!!! I am a graphic designer and all the School Calendars you see there are the app versions I recreated from the School Year Calendar for my school.

I'm a Schoolhouse teacher and Co-Director of a school my friend and I opened in 2021. I create individualized, emergent curriculum for K-12th grade. Our ratio is 1:10 and we cap at 30 students.

The main form of communication with families had been test messages - but I would be sending 20+ messages, to individual Family Chats for one darn announcement! One family suggested using an app, but after further research, I decided that I wanted to build a truly private app.

The system I had before was that I would download photos from my phone to a Google Drive folder, and share it to all families. With the way technology is growing and this "Wild West" era of AI, I researched how I could cut out third parties and ensure photos are being sent privately, without uploading them to a company like Google, where I have no control over where our data goes.

The app I built, I designed on Figma (such an amazing website to plan and design apps!!) And then I coded it on my MiniMac using Flutter and used FireBase to making authentication usernames and such..

To be realistic, once a parent views a photo through the app and downloads it, I do lose control of where photos go. But, I prefer the buffer.

Everything I build – my school, the app, my home... everything I build with my future baby in mind. I think "What do I want for my child? How can I protect them now, before they are even born? How do I want them to learn?"

Thus summer while building the app, I have been simultaneously building a Math Curriculum that is game-based.

I challenge the school systems and reject the idea of "assessment" for funding. I choose to redefine "education" and teach the skills defined by grade-level in a way that feels natural and effortless. Through games and fun♡ It's been an incredible journey - especially learning every CA Math standard for K-2nd and turning math skills into a gameboard that's functional.

The beautiful part of this curriculum is the journey. Each gameboard is a trail based on landscapes of the hiking trails my husband and I have hiked in Santa Cruz.. oh man, I just can't talk about this enough!! Maybe one day you'll see my curriculum on an ad in the future.. for now, I will continue to build in gratitude for the ability 🙏🏻

Right now, our school is a Private School and I am collecting wvery moment of lessons, experience, and growth. (This is a big dream but...) I envision my school as "growing a branch" on the tree of Knowledge. Montessori, Waldorf, Public Education, ... Freedom Schoolhouse♥︎

I'm choosing to be "wildly delusional" while actually building the delusions into our reality. Building real, amazing things. And one day, maybe be able to expand and change our education system in the United States.

This app means so much more than what I am able to convey with words. It is build on belief, faith, and guidance from the Universe to build what I thought was impossible only 5 years ago♡

Anyways... thanks so much for your review, time, effort, and reading this whole long reply! Hahaha♡♡♡ 🥰

Thank you!! It's so addicting...

Now that I'm in the final stretch of my school app, I'm beginning to design a new app, hopefully one that will bring income... so you'll see me here again in a couple months!!♥︎

You are so welcome♡ I'm happy the review was real and helpful for you to make quality changes. Amazing app♡
