Brightfold Beta

Try our new apps first.

Before an app opens to everyone on Google Play, a small group uses it for two weeks and tells us what to fix. Pick one below: three steps, and it's on your phone.

How it works

Three steps. Then just use it.

01

Join the group

Once, with the Google account on your Android phone. It covers every app we test.

02

Become a tester

Google Play's test page for the app you picked. One tap.

03

Download it

Install it from Google Play like any other app, and keep it for 14 days.

04

Tell us

Something wrong or missing? Say so from the app's Settings. That's the whole job.

Join a test

Pick an app. Follow the three steps.

Each button opens Google in a new tab. Come back here for the next one: this page ticks off what you've done, on this device only.

Good to know

Before you join.

Does it cost anything?

No. Testing is free and you never need to buy anything. If you do buy Pro during a test, it's a real purchase.

The test page says the app isn't available

Check that Google Play is signed in with the account you joined the group with. A new member can take a few minutes to reach Google Play, so try again shortly.

On a computer?

Every step works there too. Sign in with the Google account that's on your phone, and Google Play sends the app to it.

Leaving

Any time. The same Google Play test page has a link to leave the test, and the group page has Leave group. Members never see each other.

What we see

Joining shares your Google account's email address with us, only to let you into the tests. Nobody posts to the group. Website privacy.

iPhone?

Android only for now. iPhone versions come through the App Store. Questions: support@brightfoldapps.com.
