About this app

Are you an indie developer struggling to unlock Production Access on Google Play?

App Hive is the ultimate community tool designed to help you pass the mandatory Closed Testing requirement: getting 12 testers to test your app continuously for 14 days.

Stop begging for testers on social media or worrying about people uninstalling your app too early. App Hive automates and guarantees the process with a fair, "give-and-take" crowdsourcing model.

🚀 HOW IT WORKS

App Hive organizes developers into groups called "Hives". Each Hive consists of 14 high-quality members.

Join a Hive: Submit your app and join a dedicated testing group.

Mutual Testing: You download and test other members' apps, and they do the same for you.

The 14-Day Journey: Our system tracks the process for the full required duration.

Get Production Access: Once the 14 days are up, you have the data and testers needed to apply for Production access on the Google Play Console.

🛡️ WHY APP HIVE?

✅ Guaranteed 12 Testers (Plus Backup): Google requires 12 testers. Our Hives have 14 members to provide a safety buffer. Even if someone drops out, you still meet the requirement.

✅ Fairness via Automation: Our intelligent backend monitors user activity.

Proof System: Testers must upload screenshots to prove they are testing.

Automatic Penalties: Users who cheat, don't test, or uninstall before 14 days are automatically penalized and removed. No freeloaders allowed.

✅ Organized & Stress-Free: Forget about managing spreadsheets or chasing people. App Hive handles the tracking, reminders, and organization for you.

✅ Real Indie Community: Connect with real developers who understand the struggle. Everyone in the Hive has the same goal: Publishing their app.

KEY FEATURES:

Structured Hives: 14 developers per group for maximum efficiency.

Reputation System: Earn points (UP) for testing and maintain a good Reputation (RP) to stay in the Hive.

Daily Tasks: Simple workflow to ensure daily engagement required by Google.

Ad-Supported Free Access: Use the platform for free by contributing to the community.

Start your journey to Google Play Production today! Download App Hive, join a Hive, and get your 12 testers for 14 days guaranteed.

App Hive is an amazing system and a great community. Go find it on Reddit. I am more than halfway through my 14 day testing process and it is very reliable. Easy to use app and very responsive developer if you have questions. I am looking to release 2 to 3 more apps in 2026 and will absolutely use App Hive again.

1. Somehow watching 2 ads is part of the compulsory task every single day. 2. Users on this app expect premium testing service which is largely impractical because of the sheer time it requires. 3. Reports are unmoderated and not verified. Users hand them out like candy just because you don't extensively use their apps and submit a different screenshot per day. 4. Bugs whereby opening an app from apphive causes the app to trigger "user has just installed app x"
