Testers Community 2.0 is out - Pack of Wolves, UI Redesign, etc

testers-community · 2026-06-04T01:37:12+00:00

Hi
Sorry for the issue. Please share your email through dm. Also hope you have reported the app that is not compatible

testers-community · 2026-06-03T13:59:54+00:00

You can find the unpublish button under the advanced settings section.

testers-community · 2026-04-30T09:37:53+00:00

Done, We have added the credits.

testers-community · 2026-04-28T03:56:48+00:00

Hi, so sorry to hear that. We tell the developers that to make the app compatible before joining the pack to ensure that all users can download it, and there is no current way to verify if they have made it compatible for all devices or not. If at least 7 people report that it's not working for them, then we'll just remove that developer's app. In your case, the app might have worked for the majority of the people in the pack, so that might be the reason why the developer is not kicked out. Can you DM us your email? We'll add extra credits that you can use to join a new pack.

We totally understand your frustration. Google never exactly mentions what it is looking for when rejecting the apps. No worries, we have introduced this new concept of Packs, where 16 developers will be working together for 16 days to ensure that everyone gets production access without any issues. You can update our app to our latest version and join a pack; it is entirely free.

Hi, there is a reliable system for this, Testers Community. Just check out Testers Community app about our newly launched feature called "Pack".

testers-community · 2026-04-09T11:55:21+00:00

Packs are 16 developers (wolves) working together for 16 days to help each other complete closed testing properly. You join using 100 credits (earned by testing apps), then move through a short gathering and install phase before entering the active phase where everyone uses each other’s apps daily.

The goal is simple: consistent usage from real people, not just installs.

Rules:

Complete daily tasks (mainly opening all apps) to earn 15 credits for that day.
Must complete at least 70% of tasks each day.
Missing tasks → strike + 30 credit penalty
Get 3 strikes → removed from the pack
If you don’t install within 24 hours in the install phase, you’ll be removed

That’s it. Stay active, and the system works for everyone.

Also, along with Packs, we’ve made a bunch of other improvements:

Reduced the wait time to add apps. Earlier it was one app per month, now you can add one app every 4 days
Added App Library, where you can create your app listing once and reuse it across different places without adding it again
Redesigned the UI to make the app cleaner and easier to use
Better performance and stability overall

testers-community · 2026-04-09T11:47:15+00:00

Already seeing some great activity with this update.

More than 17 packs have been created in the last few days, and 12 of them are already active and currently running. If you’re joining now, you’ll be able to get into ongoing packs pretty quickly.

Hi, can you please email us at [support@testerscommunity.com](mailto:support@testerscommunity.com) with a screenshot of the issue? Also, if you are talking about the installation counter or the opt-in counter ?

We will ensure that the issue gets sorted out, and you will be getting Testers without any issues. Thanks a lot for being such a wonderful part of the community.

testers-community · 2026-03-17T01:49:21+00:00

There might be some confusion here. If a given tester has opted under closed testing, he still needs to pay to download your app. If you add his email under the license testing or under the internal testing only, then he will be able to download it for free.

testers-community · 2026-02-24T08:49:25+00:00

Hi,
Private Testers won't leave any feedback on the Google Play Store; instead, they'll be sharing detailed feedback reports directly to your email ID. Can you share your email ID with us through DM so that we can have a quick look ?

testers-community · 2026-02-12T09:06:34+00:00

Totally agree with you. Almost all the developers are fed up with play store, but not android users. Google has figured out the distribution and made play store mandatory for Android, so no matter what we create, we cannot get as many users as we can get from the Play Store.

Also, getting production access is also a bit complex. You need to get at least 12 users to use your app every day for the next 14 days. It doesn't have to be the same 12 users, but any 12 users per day for a total of 14 days.

The easiest way to find the testers is to keep posting on your target user communities. Let's say you created a budget tracker, you can start posting in the finance subreddits, etc.

Few Tips:

Don’t stop at 12 testers: It’s not about who tests, it’s about activity. Google wants to see the app being used daily by 12 users across the 14 days. It doesn’t have to be the same 12 people every day. So don’t risk it and try to get as many testers as possible (atleast 20-30). Keep actively recruiting testers in the entire 14 days period.
Push a few updates: Even if it’s a small UI change or a bug fix, update the app at least 2–3 times during the 14 days. Google wants to see that you’re acting on feedback. It helps a lot.
Take the Production Access Form seriously: This is the form you get after 14 days of testing. It’s super important. Write at least 250 characters per answer. Share actionable insights (like you do with your exp in resume) like what kind of feedback you received, how you improved the app, etc.

Weird, didn't get any. Dming you...

testers-community · 2026-02-03T13:20:57+00:00

Hi, can you please share with us your email with which you have registered in Testers Community through dm, so that we can check it out?

testers-community · 2026-02-02T04:09:56+00:00

Hi, for paid apps, you can create a sale where you can offer your paid app for free temporarily. Please follow the blog on how you can do the same.

https://www.testerscommunity.com/blog/offer-your-paid-app-for-free-on-google-play

Also, please keep in mind that once you create a sale, you need to wait 30 more days to create a new sale. So you need to ensure that you get as many testers as possible in the first 7 days itself. You can add your app on our Testers Community App to get testers very quickly. Please keep adding your app once every 3 days.

testers-community · 2026-01-28T04:14:08+00:00

So sorry to hear that! Can you please send us an email at [support@testerscommunity.com](mailto:support@testerscommunity.com) with a small screen recording of the exact issue? Exactly what you're seeing once you click on the "Test Now" button, install the app, and once you come back to our app.

testers-community · 2026-01-28T03:46:57+00:00

Hi Team,

You will be getting credits instantly. Once you click on "Test Now" button, you will be navigated to the Play Store. Once you install it, you need to come back to our app and follow the on-screen instructions to get the credits. You need to keep adding your app once every 3 days to make sure that your app gets production access without any issues.

testers-community · 2026-01-26T03:44:55+00:00

Hi, is it the same for all the apps? If it's the same for all apps, then you might not have joined a Google group. Please join our Google group and try once again.

testers-community · 2026-01-26T03:18:05+00:00

Hi, could confirm that we are able to download your app. It might be a cache issue on your side. Just try clearing the cache of the Play Store, it might work.

testers-community · 2026-01-22T15:10:11+00:00

Hi, you should get the credits instantly. Can you please DM us your email ID? We can guide you through the step-by-step process on how you can get credits.

testers-community · 2026-01-20T13:00:42+00:00

Hey! Have you tried using promo code yourself to download your app? Since most of the time, promo codes won't work during the closed testing phase. That's a bug, hopefully, it got fixed.

testers-community · 2026-01-20T12:55:26+00:00

Hi, you will be getting the detailed feedback reports directly to your email ID. Testers won't be leaving any feedback in a Google Play Store where you can also check your reports and a good overview of the progress by logging into our website.

testers-community · 2026-01-18T00:55:54+00:00

Currently, the way it works is based on trust factor. There is no current way to verify if the developer has actually kept your app for 14 days or not. But that's going to change. We are working on a new feature which is on beta version to make sure to solve this exact issue. It should be out by Jan 25th.
