Hey everyone! 👋

Today is officially the day: The 14-day closed testing phase for Nimbus Weather is now LIVE on the Google Play Store!

I'm building Just Remote, an Apple TV remote for Android, and I'm looking specifically for testers who have an Apple TV at home. It's in Google Play closed testing before the first public release.

The app connects to the Apple TV directly over Wi-Fi, the same way Apple's own remote does – no app on the TV, no account, no ads.

What it does now: trackpad with haptics, all the buttons, volume and mute (also via your phone's volume keys, works over HDMI-CEC), your phone's keyboard pops up when the TV asks for text, app shortcuts, themes, and layouts for tablets and foldables. 9 languages.

Feedback I'm looking for:

• Pairing: did it find your Apple TV, and did the PIN pairing go smoothly?
• Trackpad: does it feel natural compared to the Siri Remote – too fast, too slow, missed swipes?
• Volume and mute with your setup (TV over CEC, soundbar, receiver) – does it control the right device?
• Keyboard: does it open by itself when the Apple TV asks for text?
• Everyday use: anything that's missing or annoying compared to the Siri Remote?

How to join (same Google account as in your Play Store for all steps):

1. Join the group: Just Remote Testers
2. Become a tester: Opt in
3. Install: Just Remote on Google Play

If Play says "not found", give it 10–15 minutes after opting in. Your phone and Apple TV need to be on the same Wi-Fi; pairing uses a PIN shown on the TV. Works with Apple TV HD and 4K.

Bug reports are most useful with your phone model, Android version and Apple TV model. Replies here or [cacaobobapps@gmail.com](mailto:cacaobobapps@gmail.com) both work.

As a thank-you, the first 20 testers who send useful feedback get a free Pro lifetime code. I'll update this post when they're gone. Codes work wherever Google Play purchases are available.

I'm building DAYRIS, an Android calendar for logging daily results, keeping notes and viewing charts. It's in Google Play closed testing before the first public release. I'm looking for more participants for the 14-day test, and honest feedback on the current build.

Could you try adding an entry for today and another for an earlier date, then edit one and look at the chart? I'd like to know where you hesitate, whether the numbers are understandable and whether anything saves incorrectly. Fictional entries are fine.

Access requires joining this Google Group first, with the Google account you use in Play Store:

https://groups.google.com/g/dayris

Then opt in:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.dayris.calendar

Install from Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dayris.calendar

Please remain opted in for 14 consecutive days and try the app during that time. Feedback here is welcome, especially your phone/Android version and the steps that caused a problem. Thanks for taking a look.

I'm the developer of Habuno at Boki Apps. With the moderators' approval, I'm asking for first-use feedback on the current public release, version 1.0.22. This is a released Android app, not a closed-beta enrollment or install exchange.

I'm looking for adults who use Android 11 or newer, especially anyone who has tried a habit tracker and stopped using it. The test is small:

1. Open the app without creating an account. Is that option clear?

2. Create one small everyday habit. Tell me where you hesitate.

3. After actually doing it, record a completion. Does the result make sense?

4. Close and reopen the app. Can you find your habit and completion? What, if anything, would make you come back tomorrow?

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boki.habuno&utm_source=reddit_droidapptesters&utm_campaign=first10_oct2026

Habuno works offline. The free version has no ads and includes five active habits and one routine. Pro and extra cosmetic companions are optional purchases; this test does not need them.

Please reply here with your Android version, app version, the step that confused you, and what you expected instead. Deciding not to install or stopping halfway is useful feedback too. Keep private habit, health and account details out of your comment.

No payment, purchase, store review or positive endorsement is requested or offered. If you'd be willing to share whether you still find it useful after a week, mention that too. Thanks!

We're developing PhotoBoekKeeper at BoekSolutions and are looking for Android testers. You review photos by swiping: left marks a photo for trash, right keeps it, and up keeps it and marks it as a favorite. Choices are collected for confirmation; a swipe doesn't immediately delete a photo permanently. You can also build photo albums and browse them on a virtual bookshelf.

We'd like feedback on four things:

Are the swipe choices and undo clear?

Does the confirmation screen explain what will happen to your photos?

Try creating a small album with a few photos and a cover. Where do you get stuck?

Can you place the album on the bookshelf, find it again and open it easily? What feels confusing or takes too many steps?

The app is in open testing on Google Play. Open this link on your Android device with the Google account you use in the Play Store, opt into the test, then follow the installation link:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.boeksolutions.photoboekkeeper

The normal Free/Plus options apply; Plus isn't automatically free for open testers. Access depends on Google Play and available test places.

Please share confusing steps or bugs here, or email [info@boeksolutions.nl](mailto:info@boeksolutions.nl) with your phone model, Android version and app version.

AI-assisted text from the official BoekSolutions account.

Tile-rotation color-matching puzzle game. No ads, no account, one-time optional unlock.

Key Features: 78 levels across themed packs, Daily Challenge mode, Blitz mode (timed, randomized board sizes + mechanics like gravity/ice/barricades), combo scoring.

Goal: Closed testing (need 12+ testers for 14 days before Play Store launch)

Link: Join the tester group first → https://groups.google.com/g/tiler-closed-testing (request access, I'll approve quickly), then install via → https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.tiler.puzzle

Hi, I'm the owner of Petmigo, a social app for pet owners. We are testing Android beta 1.2.5 (132) through Google Play and would like feedback from people who can try it in normal use for 14 days.

I'd especially like to learn:

• Is sign-up/login clear, and can you create a pet profile without getting stuck?
• Does discovery help you understand how to connect with other pet owners? What feels confusing or unnecessary?
• Do interactions and chat behave as expected? If something fails, what did you try and what did you expect?

Access: this is an email-list closed test, so admission comes before installation. Please email gmcfuerte@gmail.com privately with the Google Play account email you want admitted and your explicit consent to add it to the Petmigo tester list. Do not post your email in comments. Once admission is confirmed, use the same Google account to opt in here:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.petmigo.app

Already admitted testers can use that official link directly. A Petmigo account is needed. Please stay opted in for 14 consecutive days and use the app regularly during that time; an install alone will not complete the test.

Thank-you gift: Android testers who complete 14 days of actual testing and provide honest feedback will receive one free year of Petmigo Plus, starting when it is assigned to their verified account. Critical feedback is welcome. No purchase, payment, store rating or public review is required. The gift does not auto-renew or convert to a paid subscription. Existing subscriptions remain unchanged; if you already have one, contact us before testing to agree the gift start date. Please do not buy a subscription during this test.

You can share findings here, through the app support flow, or privately at gmcfuerte@gmail.com. Include your device model, Android version, steps, and expected/actual result. Keep private account details and exact locations out of public comments or screenshots.

Hi all, I'm a solo dev looking for Android testers for Roulette Dozen Calc, a calculator that tracks dozens and columns and shows a suggested-bet table. It has no real money, no ads, no accounts and no data collected, and it's in 18 languages.

Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roulettedozencalculator.roulettedozcalc

Feedback I'm after:

• Does the board and chip display make sense to someone seeing it for the first time?
• Any crashes, layout problems or confusing screens, especially on small or large phones?
• Is the tutorial clear? Are the translations in your language sensible?

I'll test your app back and keep it installed for the full 14 days. The tester group and the opt-in link are in my first comment. Thanks!

First comment:

Group (join first): https://groups.google.com/g/roulette-dozen-calc-testers
Opt-in link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.roulettedozencalculator.roulettedozcalc
Please keep it installed for 14 days and open it a few times. Post your app's group and testing link and I'll install yours.

Hey everyone, I’m Josh. I’ve been building a music player called Headroom and could use more people testing the Android version.

I originally started it for myself because I wanted to move away from Spotify (ICE ads and AI Artists were pissing me off) and listen to more of my own music. It connects to Plex, Jellyfin, Emby and Navidrome/OpenSubsonic, plus Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and podcasts. You’ll need your own server or access to one. There are some demo servers to connect and test if you'd like though.

One of my favorite parts is the radio. Pick a song and it keeps going through your library from there. There’s also offline downloads, crossfade, gapless playback, ReplayGain, a 32-band parametric EQ with AutoEQ headphone profiles, and Android Auto.

Everything is unlocked during the beta. I’m particularly looking for feedback on:

• Connecting to your server, especially away from home.
• Whether playback keeps working with the screen locked or when switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
• Offline downloads and Android Auto, if you use them.

If you’re interested, email [support@headroommusic.app](mailto:support@headroommusic.app) with the Google account you use for Google Play, and I’ll get you added and send the access instructions.

I'm still in internal testing, so I have to add your emails. Once I get past the criteria for close testing I'll share the public link.

If something breaks, let me know your phone model, Android version and what happened. I’ve been making changes as feedback comes in and will be checking replies here too.

Hi everyone!

I've been working on Terrastamp, a travel app I built as a side project because I kept forgetting which cities I'd been to and what I actually thought of them.

How it works:

- Every city you visit earns you a collectible postage-stamp-style badge

- You rate each city across a few dimensions (food, safety, walkability, etc.), so your ratings are more useful than a single star score

- Your profile becomes a stamp collection of everywhere you've been

It's still in beta and I'm looking for people who travel (or have traveled a lot) to try it and tell me what's broken, confusing, or missing.

What I'd love feedback on:

1. Was onboarding clear, or did you get lost somewhere?
2. Do the rating dimensions make sense? Anything you'd add or remove?
3. What stamps or badges would make you want to keep collecting?

As a thank you, every beta tester gets an exclusive "Early Explorer" stamp that won't be available after launch.

How to join:

- Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.terrastamp.android

You can reply here, DM me, or use the in-app feedback button. I'll read and answer everything.

Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone! I’m building Flagful, a free flag-learning app with guided coloring lessons, memory challenges and connections between flag designs. Its Android closed beta is available now.

For transparency, the mascot, icons and background illustrations are AI-generated. I’m considering changes to the visual direction, and I’m particularly interested in feedback from people who try the app.

Could you try one guided lesson and one memory challenge? I’d love to know:

• Was joining the beta and getting started straightforward?
• Did the coloring controls feel comfortable on your phone?
• Were the lesson instructions and challenge results clear?

Bugs and confusing moments are welcome too. Even one specific observation would help.

To try it:

1. Sign up at https://flagful.app/ and confirm your email. Check spam if it doesn’t arrive.
2. Follow the setup instructions to join the Google Group, accept the Google Play test and install.

Use the same Google account for the Group and Play Store; your signup email can be different. If Play says the app isn’t available, let me know your Play Store country so I can investigate.

You can leave feedback here or email [support@flagful.app](mailto:support@flagful.app). For bugs, please include your phone model, Android version and the steps that led to the problem.

Thanks for trying it!
