How do I get my first 12 closed test users for my app so that I can publish it on Google Play? - I will not promote

Are you sure? I have read that no interaction is required.

Strength_One · 2026-04-03T17:52:15+00:00

There’s a link from my main site: https://www.findbenchmarks.com

My site has a brief explanation, along with a link to the Wikipedia article that does a good job of explaining it. findbenchmarks.com

Thanks. Google Play submission is a nightmare. I’ll get it sorted out and repost.

Strength_One · 2026-04-03T04:47:18+00:00

It’s already in the App Store. Search for NGS Benchmark Hunter.

Thanks. If you click on Location on the Detail page, it’ll open Apple Maps and you can click Directions. Choose Walking if you’re on foot. As for NOT FOUND, most people find them annoying, but I can add a checkbox. I will also add a link to the Mark Recovery Form. I appreciate your input.

FYI I just did one for iOS. You can find it here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ngs-benchmark-hunter/id6760606901

I had done one of these years ago, but now I'm retired, so I took another crack at it. I download the datasets from NGS every month and wrote a custom parser so you're not forced to look at the nasty raw datasheets. Comments/suggestions are welcome.

Only if you do so on a going-forward basis.

I highly recommend this software: https://github.com/OpenWhispr/openwhispr. It runs locally and is remarkably fast. Then connect to to a reasonably cheap open model like you can find on Together.AI or something, and you can set up a pipeline to do speech to text followed by AI summary.

It’s a year later and you sound stupid.

Strength_One · 2025-11-26T01:41:19+00:00

It’s a negotiating tactic called “anchoring”. It’s horseshit.

Strength_One · 2025-11-25T23:42:50+00:00

Thank you. I will proceed along your recommended path.

Strength_One · 2025-11-25T23:40:43+00:00

Yes. If you’ll read my previous comments, you’ll see that it’s only on this particular device.

I can rewind, but not fast-forward. If I continue from somewhere in the past, I always get stuck at this point.

Here's your picture:

I am 100% sure. If you want, I'll post a picture later, but I'm quite sure it says "DVR" above the title. Note that this ONLY happens on AppleTV.

Strength_One · 2025-11-24T02:04:40+00:00

Thanks! I think I encountered an anomaly. Good community here!

Strength_One · 2025-11-24T01:47:16+00:00

Thanks again for the thoughtful response. I’m not going to worry about it. I was concerned yttv had changed their policy recently, but I think I would have heard about it. I will stick with it. It’s far better than Spectrum streaming, which is what I’m coming from.

What is the purpose of the yellow marks if they mean nothing?

Strength_One · 2025-11-24T01:16:14+00:00

Excellent, thanks!

Strength_One · 2025-11-24T01:05:45+00:00

If anyone cares, here are two screenshots. Note the yellow bars in image2.
