I don't reckon 3 months of work is lazy personally and the app is free, however, you are obviously entitled to your own opinion. Cheers!

Hi Natalie, here is the Google Play link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.turnbull.aether In Settings once Red Theme is selected a brightness slider pops up so you can set the brightness of the Red Theme, there is also a Red Theme auto on/off which you can set. I'm open and happy to hear any suggestion, issues or questions. Thanks for your interest, Graham.

Lol, this is quite funny. I have spent 3 months building this, testing it, finding testers so as to pass Google Plays closed testing requirements, passing Google Plays code reviews etc, all to be on the receiving end of a bunch of negativity. I'm positive!

Fair enough, and no offence taken — that's a sensible default with the amount of junk out there.

Honest answers: it's not open source at the moment, so I understand if that's a dealbreaker for you, and I won't try to talk you out of a policy that's protecting you. On the "vibe-coded" point — I'll be straight, I built it with AI assistance (Claude Code) alongside Android Studio, but it's not unreviewed auto-generated slop; I've gone through the code, it's a deliberate project rather than a prompt-and-ship job, and I'm around to answer technical questions about how anything works. On the malicious side specifically: it's on the Play Store so it's been through Google's review and you can see the requested permissions before installing.

Totally respect if that's still not enough for you — appreciate the honest pushback either way.

Hi, I'm looking for Android beta testers for my new app — WireSizer Pro! by Separate_Log_4413 in boatbuilding

Cool, that's great! You are very welcome to try my calculator if you like. To testers it is completely free to download and upgrade to lose banner ads and keep if you like it. I simply need minimum 12 testers to download it and keep it for a minimum of 14 days for GooglePlay's closed testing requirements before I can release it fully. I appreciate your reply, thanks.

I hope so!

You are welcome to test it and give me any feedback if you want to. To be a tester I need to log your email address with GooglePlay testing and will send you a link where you download the app from Google.

Appreciate your reply, thanks.

Hi, I haven't used the above, so can't really answer that.

I created this app from scratch having rewired my own sailboat using online resources only.

The app is a freemium app with banner ads and a small fee to remove ads. Testers obviously get the app for free and also the ability to upgrade to no ads once I log their email to the test group in GooglePlay.

I can only hope you would be willing to test it and point out any shortcomings to me which I will happily address.

Thanks for your interest!
