For new Google Play developer accounts
Real testers. Real 14 days.
New personal developer accounts need 12 testers opted in to a closed test for 14 days in a row. Genuine Testers pairs you with other Android developers: you test theirs, they test yours, and both of you see every day's progress.
List your app
Add your closed-testing opt-in link and Google Group. A checklist makes sure both work first.
Swap
Offer your app for someone else's. When they accept, you both start day 1 together.
Prove it daily
Upload one screenshot a day. Owners approve; silence approves automatically after 48 h.
Finish 14 days
Track every tester on a day-by-day grid and export a report for your records.
Built to be fair
No silent removals
A missed day is a warning. Three warnings start a 24-hour notice, and you can always appeal.
Reliability score
Approved proofs given ÷ proofs owed. Reliable testers get matched first.
Replacement suggestions
Lose a tester? Get reliable candidates instantly so you stay at 12+.
Timezone-fair deadlines
Each day closes at noon the next day, in the tester's own timezone.
We recommend recruiting 15–16 testers: Google counts only testers who stay opted in for the whole 14 days. Rules change, so always check the current requirement in the Play Console Help Center.
