12 Testers - Tester community

Join the most active community for Android developers!

Do you need 20 testers to validate your app's Closed Testing phase? This app is specifically designed to help you meet the latest Google Play Console requirements.

What problem does it solve?

Since November 2023, Google requires every new personal developer account to run a Closed Test with at least 20 active testers for 14 consecutive days before being allowed to publish on the Play Store. Finding 20 real testers willing to install your app for two weeks is a major bottleneck, especially for indie developers and small teams. This app removes that friction.

How it works

The principle is simple: mutual aid. Test other community members' apps, and in return, receive active testers for your own project. Every tester you provide earns you reciprocal testers — no recruiting, no begging in forums, no spending money on questionable testing services.

Key features

20 Testers Goal: Easily recruit the required number of testers through the community pool.
14-Day Validation: Real-time tracking of your testers' progress to ensure the test lasts the 14 consecutive days required by Google.
Project Dashboard: Manage multiple projects in parallel, see who is testing what, and follow each project's completion percentage.
Google Authentication: Fast and secure login via Google Auth, no password to remember.
Privacy Focused: No sensitive personal data collection — no names, no phone numbers, no email scraping. Only a chosen pseudonym is required.
In-App Notifications: Get notified when testers join, when your 14-day window is at risk, or when an action is required.
Multilingual: Available in English and French.
Who is it for?

Indie developers launching their first app.
Small studios that don't have a built-in beta community.
Anyone whose first Closed Test failed because they couldn't keep 20 active testers for 14 days.
Developers building niche apps where recruiting testers via personal networks is impractical.
Tips for success

Complete your profile and project description so other developers know what they're testing.
Be active: the more apps you test, the higher your priority in the testing queue.
Keep your project installed and opened a few times during the 14-day window — Google checks engagement, not just installs.
In-app purchases

The base experience is free and supported by non-intrusive ads. Premium options accelerate your project completion by giving you priority placement in the queue and removing ads. You can publish without paying — premium just makes it faster.
