// how it works
01LAUNCH

Describe your app and its closed testing track. Google's requirement for new personal accounts — 12 testers for 14 days — is baked into every campaign by default.

02TEST

Keep other people's apps in the track while yours gathers testers. Mutual exchange instead of begging in social media.

03CONFIRM

The developer sees tester emails in Google Play Console. Joined the track — karma credited. Didn't — a minus and a mark.

04SHIP

14 days done, requirement met, production unlocked. The karma stays with you and keeps growing.

// questions

frequently asked

where can I find beta testers for my app?+

Right here. Describe your app — tester applications arrive within an hour: with track-ready emails, no bots. Everyone's participation is confirmed in the store console; karma is only credited for real testing.

what is closed testing?+

A store mechanism: before publication, a closed group tests the app for two weeks. Google Play requires 12 testers for 14 days for new personal developer accounts. We automate the recruiting and the confirmation.

do I need QA experience?+

No. You need to be a living user: use the app for two weeks and tell what broke. Experience helps but isn't required.

what is karma?+

A tester's reputation. A confirmed test is +10, a successfully finished campaign of yours is +5, abandoning a track is −15. Karma is visible to developers and gives priority in applications.

how much does it cost?+

Free for testers, and free for developers at the start. Paid tools will come later — the karma mechanics already work.

how do I know a tester actually tested?+

The developer cross-checks the tester's email against the store console track, reads reviews and looks at screenshots. Karma is credited only after confirmation.

what happens if a tester quits?+

−15 karma and a mark in history. New accounts' karma is held for review for the first 14 days — cheating doesn't pay.

anti-fraud

Karma is only credited for confirmed participation: the developer cross-checks tester emails against the track in Google Play Console. Cheat — your karma burns together with your reputation. Hold on honestly for 14 days — you get yours.
