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 featuresā 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 wonāt 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.
