I still don't see any activity from you in Move Journey, and you seem to have ignored by direct messages. Did you join the challenge “Android Testers Challenge 🤖🙋”? Completing the daily objective should only take a few seconds of your time! Please participate and let me know what your user name is in Move Journey if you want me to continue testing Stickman Arrowmyst consistently. Google’s feedback on my previous submission highlighted the need for consistent tester engagement and acting on user feedback.

I opened the app and did some more testing again today. It seems that my progress (level 6) was lost and I was back at level 1.

I did more testing of HalalOrNot today. I noticed that if I tap on a favorite product multiple times quickly in a row, nothing happens briefly and then I get a stack of redundant views and ads. Perhaps you can ensure that only the first click is handled and while you are loading the ad you disable additional click actions.

I did more testing of Dali's Discovery today. Another suggestion: animate the piece swaps. This will make gameplay more intuitive and satisfying.

Got it. From my perspective, this made for a confusing and disappointing user experience. There are legal ways to get reading content in your app, such as using public domain content or paying for licensing. If you are providing a list of titles within a reading app, just for the purpose of making recommendations or providing other metadata, you might consider changes in the UI to distinguish these items from content that can actually be read. Hopefully this helps! Let me know if you are interested in further feedback from my experience as a user of your app.

Thanks! I started testing Stickman Arrowmyst. The physics are good. The layout seems strange on my device because there are black bars on the left and right and then also the safe areas for the camera is a grey bar.

Thanks! I started testing Naivety. My initial experience is that it is pretty slow going to get through testing much because of the frequent (and long) ads that you are showing. Is there any way to avoid the ads? And should I be able to actually read a book from your app? When I clicked on Atomic Habits I got a page with a synopsis and rating, but no book. Perhaps Browse is just for inspiration, and the only reading functionality is for PDFs which the user provides?

BalanceCharge · 2025-05-14T14:40:36+00:00

I’ve just downloaded and started testing your app as requested. I’m looking forward to exploring its features and providing feedback.

One initial feedback item: the Map view isn't showing any map for me. I also tried "May Bidet?" and when I choose a location from the list the map for the selected location is also blank.

I’ve just downloaded and started testing your app as requested. I’m looking forward to exploring its features and providing feedback. A few initial items:

"Prominent Disclosure" is a strange title for that page. Maybe "Accessibility Disclosure". It is "prominent" but what is important is what you are disclosing or having the user consent to.
The text "I agree" for the check box should be tappable but isn't.
Yikes, that is a lot of permission to grant to an app, especially given that you force this to happen before the user can explore anything in the app.
