Born out of developer frustration
Since November 2023, Google has required new personal developer accounts to run a closed test with 12 testers opted in for 14 continuous days before production access. Finding and keeping 12 people active for two straight weeks is harder than it sounds. That’s the problem we built App Testers to solve.
Google Play’s 14-day rule, and why it’s hard
Large studios have in-house QA teams. Solo developers don’t. That gap is the reason App Testers exists.

Google changes the rule
Personal developer accounts created after 13 November 2023 must run a closed test with 12 testers opted in for 14 continuous days before they can apply for production access.
- 2The problem
12 people, 14 days straight
Most developers don't have 12 people who'll open an unfinished app every day for two weeks. One dropout resets the clock.

Real people, real devices
We provide the testers and keep them opted in, so your closed test actually holds for the full 14 days.
Four things we don’t compromise on
Real devices, no shortcuts
No bots, no emulators, no click farms. Every tester opts in and uses your app on a real Android device.
Your app stays private
We only use your app and opt-in link to run your test. We don't share your APK or your test data with anyone else.
Free re-test if Google asks for more
If Google asks for more testing because of the closed testing criteria, we run a new 14-day test at no extra charge. Google decides every application.
Feedback as it happens, no dashboard needed
We send you tester feedback and bug reports directly as they come in during your 14 days, no login, no dashboard to check.
