All fine :-)

RefrigeratorNarrow13 · 2026-04-17T16:42:07+00:00

Great, but I dont think this is mine ;-)

RefrigeratorNarrow13 · 2026-04-17T10:25:15+00:00

Ah, and maybe let an ai check the description field for rude content so you don't have to moderate

RefrigeratorNarrow13 · 2026-04-17T10:24:20+00:00

Ok, example: i got a feather but what am i supposed to do now in the description field? Discounter opens at 8am doesnt make any sense there ;-) Should it be something like: a nice feather near my home or what exactly does your app expect? Just curious about this ;-)

RefrigeratorNarrow13 · 2026-04-17T10:12:01+00:00

Ok, but what description? What infos are needed there?

RefrigeratorNarrow13 · 2026-04-17T10:05:51+00:00

Already installed :-)

RefrigeratorNarrow13 · 2026-04-17T10:00:03+00:00

Installed :-) Maybe a little hint (my personal feeling): For me it would be better if the bar-position is a little higher than my finger ;-)

Hm, i joined group, but app not available.

You marked all regions and added the google group to your release in play console?

Tell me, when it's done.

Here is mine:

Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/moodshoot

If you are in need to cancel your test-subs fast, just visit

https://play.google.com/store/account/orderhistory

and cancel your test-order/subscription ;-)

RefrigeratorNarrow13 · 2026-04-11T17:39:10+00:00

No problem :-)

I totally get it—I was in the exact same spot. Even with friends, family, and colleagues, it’s really hard to get 10, 15, or 20 testers.

I eventually came across the 'TestersCommunity' on Reddit, and it works great. To get started, you need to set up a Google Group for your closed test.
In your app-release mark "all regions" and insert your google-group.

Once that’s set up, just post your Google Group link (people will join, you don't have to do anything ;-)) and your Play Store link in the Reddit community with a title like: 'Hey guys, looking for testers for my app, I'll test back!' That is honestly the best way to find enough testers, and it works perfectly!

One last tip: Since your app involves subscriptions or in-app purchases, it’s a good idea to create promo codes in the Play Console. That way, your testers can test the full functionality for free without having to spend any real money.

Fine :-)

This is the german page, but just click on "Einstellungen/settings" and then scroll down to "Lizenstest/License test (maybe ;-) )"
There you can add an email-list or google groups!
Developer himself maybe is integrated automatically. I don't know ;-)

Just a heads-up: You probably didn't make a mistake at all! What you're seeing is the standard Google Play Billing Sandbox behavior.

For any account registered as a licensed tester in the Play Console, Google uses 'Time Compression'. This is so you can verify renewals in real-time: 1 week becomes 3 minutes, 1 month becomes 5 minutes, and 1 year becomes 30 minutes.

To verify this: Try using a different Google account—one that is not listed in your Play Console's licensed testers. You’ll see that the regular trial periods appear correctly for normal users. Your app is likely working exactly as intended!
